I've been composting here for 3 years now, using 2 alternating piles.
I haven't had any issues with smell until I started dumping 15-20# of spent grain a week (15-20# going into the mash, not sure what it weighs after the sugar comes out and the water soaks in).
Lately, especially now that it's warming up (I switched to AG in November), my backyard is getting very ripe in smell. I've tried throwing a bunch of wood shavings over each batch I dump into the heap, but that hasn't helped much.
Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions?
