I've been throwing all my old veg peelings and off-cuts into the compost bin. Problem is I haven't been using the right ratio of 'greens' and 'browns', so the thing smells like death. Seriously it is vomit-inducing. Having had some advice from my pa I now make sure I add 50/50 greens and browns, I also add things like toilet roll and scrunched up newspaper to make air pockets - its looking much healthier, more worms, less putrid stench.
Greens = old veg, tea bags, egg shells, etc. all high in nitrogen.
Browns = newspapers, cardboard (cut up), old clothes (cut up).
