If you're composting it properly, it doesn't really have any smell at all, except dirt. It's when you don't move it around, and it starts to compost anaerobical

If you're composting it properly, it doesn't really have any smell at all, except dirt. It's when you don't move it around, and it starts to compost anaerobically that it starts to produce methane, and then you've got a pile of stink on your hands.
- Pulcinella 4y agoI believe methane itself doesn’t really have much of a smell. It’s things produced alongside the methane like ammonia and certain other nitrogen compounds, sulfur compounds, and carboxylic acids (particularly short chain fatty-acids like acetic acid and butyric acid).
