I use a 5-gallon plastic bucket, lined on the bottom with newspaper and a plastic liner to collect and carry my compost to the garden once a week.
Whenever there’s a heat wave, the compost begins to smell. I do not have freezer or refrigerator space, so I thought of using charcoal.
As I set out to see what kind of charcoal filters or products I might find, I passed through the pet care department.
That’s when the light bulb went on. I have cat litter, essentially powdered clay, left over from my hide tanning efforts.
My bucket’s plastic lid fits securely on top. So far, after a couple of weeks, my system appears to work.
