1. Keep a couple pieces of charcoal in your kitchen bin for smell absorption. I just took some charred bits out of my firepit. When they’re used up they can just go right in the pile.

  2. A large piece of cardboard makes a good lid, and somehow looks nicer in your yard than a pile of old food. Also helps regulate rain absorption/moisture retention.

    You should be making biochar and adding by volume 5-10% to the compost but the smell reduction tip is great for the indoors.

        Cone pit.

        You can dig it as big or as small as you need (as long as you size the pieces of biomass to suit).

        Cone dug into ground, 2 wide:1 deep.

        Just look up “cone pit biochar”. I’ll get you back later with something.
