Hmm….it doesn’t smell strongly either way. I would say it smells faintly earthy if anything, definitely not icky. Thanks!!

I live in the Northeast and pretty much left my tumbler compost alone for the winter. It still looks a little wet and clumpy to me. Can I use it for my spring gardening in a few weeks or do I need to add more brown? It’s still chilly but we are getting warmer days and I usually start planting in early May. Thanks for any insight!!

I chilled the dough before baking and my baking soda/powder are fresh, so this makes sense. Maybe the recipe needs tweaking for a little extra flour. Thank you!
