What is the problem adding scraps of meat to your compost heap and what should you do with the meat before adding it?
If you add meat scraps to a decaying compost pile, your compost will stink and attract unwanted animals especially rodents [Cat Lovers take a paw on the back]. I am now starting a Bokashi Compost for composting Meat, bones, eggs, etc. Rather than decaying, it ferments in a bucket. Because of it fermenting it is not suppose to stink and it is suppose to compost faster. It starts out in a bucket to ferment then is transferred into the ground buried where it decomposes.The system I am doing is with newspaper and Whey.
