How do I fix my compost pile that smells bad?

My compost pile smells really bad. What should I do?

A bad smell usually indicates that your compost is too wet or has too many nitrogen-rich materials. Try adding dry materials like leaves or straw.

How much dry material should I add?

Start by adding a few handfuls of dry materials and mix them in. You can adjust based on how it smells after a few days.

What if it still smells after that?

If it still smells, consider turning the pile to aerate it and check the balance of greens and browns. You might need to add more browns.

Can I add more food scraps to it?

Yes, but be cautious not to add too many at once. Balance is key, so ensure you have enough browns to offset the greens.
