Compost Troubleshooting Kit - Printable Guide

Find out why your compost smells, attracts pests or won't break down – and what to do about it.

A printable kit for home composters. Start from what you notice (a bad smell, fruit flies, a cold pile…), find the likely cause and apply the fix.

What's included

• How a healthy compost pile works: browns, greens, water, air
• Symptom finder + fix-it table (rotten or ammonia smell, fruit flies, rodents, slow or cold pile, dry, soggy…)
• What to add / what to avoid in a home bin
• The squeeze test and turning guidance
• Weekly compost log and a kitchen memo card to cut out

Summarised from U.S. EPA, University of California ANR and Penn State Extension guidance (sources listed in the kit). General guidance only – results depend on your conditions.
