I know you're probably joking, but for the sake of anybody reading this who may be consider composting: A healthy compost doesn't smell bad (I honestly kind of like the smell) and doesn't smell strongly either, so neighbors won't mind or even know it's there. I compost in my small patio; there's table and chairs just a couple feet from the composter and it hasn't been a problem.

Good compost does not smell but does attract (in NA) the likes of racoons and black bears and some people vocally don't like that.

  It also attracts lots of insects. While it's ok in general, you probably don't want a farm of them right next to where you sit/eat.
