>How is that countertop compost bucket for smells?


I've only been using it like three days, but no smells. My old one
didn't smell either but I didn't put any meat scraps in it and it was
ket covered all the time. I was mostly concerned about the fruit
flies and so far none with this one. The screened vent holes on top
allow moisture to escape so the veggie scraps dry out, so no smells
and no flies. Amazon sells it... more than 4,000 people bought it and
all love it:
