I put used coffee grounds last week in my compost and when I went back to turn it this morning it smelled like I'm walking into a cafe. Is it a sign that I put too much? Layered it with other greens and browns though.

What other stuff could you compost that have a pleasant smell?

    The coffee smell isn’t a bad thing at all, you put coffee in it so it’s smells like coffee.

    If you want to reduce bad odours, but home made wood ash in between the layers and it will help.

    Coffee grounds are considered green material in compost
