My neighbor told me to start composting kitchen scraps a year ago

I thought he was crazy and that it would just smell bad and draw rats, but I finally tried it six months ago. Now I've got rich black soil for my garden and I'm throwing away way less trash every week. Anyone else have a simple change that made a bigger difference than you expected?

Gotta be honest, I don't get the hype. I tried composting for a month and it smelled like rotten garbage no matter what I did. Ended up just tossing the bin and going back to regular trash.

Honestly, the smell thing usually means you're not layering right... you gotta put browns (like dried leaves or cardboard) on top of the food scraps, it keeps the smell down and the bugs away.
