My worm compost does not smell great, Help?
I have been keeping a worm compost for a few years, and it does not normally smell very much or even at all. I think I loaded up one of the stacked bins too much and now I have a yucky smell in my kitchen, almost like the smell of dog poop. If memory serves I have allowed anaerobic bacteria to multiply by filling it too much and quickly. There are very few worms in that bin, if any. It is now on the bottom. So I guess it is not getting much air, either. What can I do to deal with the problem? Is there anything that will absorb the scent or bring the compost environment back to normal?
I live in Quebec, so it gets very cold in the winter. The red wiggler worms are tropical, and can’t survive the cold. Also, you only get extra critters with outdoor composts 
I know this from having put it outside one summer.
Also, you can add meat and such to worm composts. It’s not like a regular compost. They eat everything. You just have to bury it well so that it does not smell. Still, that is not what I did to cause my current compost stinkiness 
You may need to take some of the food out if there is still way too much. Then add lots of shredded paper and loosen the bedding up to get some air moving around in there. Also, if the moisture level is too wet, you may need to add dry leaves and newspaper. It should be like a damp sponge. If there are no worms in there, then you will definitely need to get some!
I’d dig a hole in the yard where you need the "goodies" and bury the disgusting stuff. Then add plenty of dry material (leaves and such) to what’s left and let your worm population build up.
I keep my can-o-worms in a sheltered spot near the back of the house…I wouldn’t consider keeping a worm bin in the house, too many different critters live in it.
Be sure you aren’t adding fats & protiens, that’ll stink it up fast…
