My compost smells like the part of a donkey sanctuary the public don't see.

And it's slimy.Where's this lovely, friable mixture that I could put in a pipe and smoke?

From that description it sounds as though your HOTBIN's contents have turned anaerobic. Have you been adding any bulking agent and shredded paper into your HOTBIN with new waste?

Mine too - absolutely horrible, stinky and slimy! And I have followed the 'recipe' for successful composting to the letter - with the right proportions of shredded paper and card, plus the wood chips that I bought at a ridiculous cost from the hotbin people. I have chopped every single bit of waste that has gone in there too - taking hours to chop up nettles into small pieces etc. What a waste of time and money! Not a happy bunny!
