Perfect!

I was wondering if anyone on the ol’ Youtube would cover animal carcasses in compost piles.

While brief, it really is that simple- if you’re composting carcasses or other potentially smelly stuff like humanure, just add brown materials until it doesn’t smell.

In this video he mentions 18 to 24″ of material on top of the carcasses, so I’m guessing this is a pretty huge pile of carcasses!

I’m curious if their technique was inspired by the Humanure Handbook or not…the bin they show later in the video looks just like a Jenkins-style bin.
