What about mixing in dry browns like shredded paper or straw to boost airflow? I read in a composting guide that adding too many kitchen scraps without enough browns makes it soggy. (The book said to aim for twice as many browns as greens, which really helps.) Turning the pile every few days lets air in and cuts down on the bad smells fast.

Airflow is key for stopping the stink. Without it, the compost turns soggy and smells terrible. A bin with a few small holes under a lid works perfectly in a kitchen.
