Best Answer

Air, nutrients and water with procedures followed properly and excess oxygen and sodden greens with procedures gone awry describe what gives compost its smell. Compost is dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter. It therefore smells of the outdoors when proper materials are composted according to proper methods and with proper inputs.
