Not if done right! A well-balanced compost pile (with the right mix of greens and browns) should smell earthy, like fresh soil. If it stinks, it usually means there’s too much moisture or not enough airflow—both easy fixes!

In most composting setups, these items can attract pests and create odours. But with professional composting (like ours!), we can help you handle a wider variety of organic waste more efficiently.

It depends! With the right balance of materials, moisture, and aeration, compost can be ready in as little as 2-3 months. Without turning or managing the pile, it could take up to a year.

When food waste goes to landfills, it decomposes without oxygen, creating methane—a greenhouse gas 25x more potent than CO₂. Composting lets food break down naturally, enriching the soil instead of harming the planet.

Use it to enrich garden soil, feed plants, improve lawn health, or even donate it to community gardens! It’s nature’s best fertilizer—chemical-free and packed with nutrients.
