It should have no *bad* odor.

Mine smells awful. I'm using an Earth Machine my mother-in-law (bless her
heart) bought for me. I filled it with cabbage and cauliflower plants and
browns from the house yesterday. It needs some browns mixed in this
afternoon but it's doing well. It's the first time I've used a composter
like this. I think I'm going to want at least one more. It won't keep up
with all that we have to compost but it's nice to have a quick fix for a poor
spot ready in a few weeks.
