Thank You for your courteous response. I will check it out.
I love organic gardening but it looks like I may have to find another hobby or I won't have many friendly neighbors.
The compost bin I have up north is covered and contains only leaves, grass, weeds, coffee grounds, tea leaves salad greens,and egg shells (for calcium).
I never get any odor but that's up North.....maybe it's different down South with the hot humid weather.
