Urban composting and managing smell/animals
I recently began composting in a tumbler, because I don't want the neighbors to have issues with the smell or attract animals to the yard with a pile. We're new to the neighborhood, having only moved in last August and until our neighbors know us better I'm trying to take extra steps to avoid confrontation.
All of this being said, I'm wondering if when the tumbler is full and the compost in the tumbler is partially broken down but not quite ready to use if transferring it to a bin like the one in this picture would allow me to continue to add to the tumbler without attracting lots of animals to the bin, or having a strong smell that the neighbors might object to. We're in a city so the neighbors are pretty close.
