Re: Garden compost

I have now dug some of the "decanted" compost that I had placed in the sealed dustbin in to a bed in the front garden. Unfortunately, although it didn't seem to smell when it was in the dustbin there is now quite a pong coming from the bed. It is sunny and dry today so any thoughts on whether watering the bed will help or hinder?

The dustbin is still about 2/3 full of compost and I am now reluctant to dig any more of it in. Am I OK to gradually transfer it back in to my original compost bin that is now only about 1/3 full in the hope that it will finish the composting process?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, as I am now dreading a knock on the door from the odour equivalent of the noise abatement society!
