If it still smells, put more on! With cattle, when you butcher the steer, you can put the guts in the compost, but don't put the bones etc in, it's just too big and the bones won't break down in time. The guts are really good!

I find that the worm farm is the best way to make compost because my proper compost bins keep drying out and I just doing have the water to keep them moist enough. I have put dead chickens in the compost before, and it works, but stinks for a few days especially if its hot. We bury the remains of our butchered steers and any dead cattle. I think I need to set up a better compost and make use of the nutrients in "dead stock" instead of putting them in the wheelie bin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.com
