I need some information on composting and figure this would be best place.
My grandfather makes "compost" and likes to fertilize earth around the house with it.
Problem is his makes his compost by throwing organic waste (mostly grass after mowing) into a barrel like on pic and leaving it forever. End result is literal barrel of shit, mostly liquid substance that smells worse than septic tank. He pours it into watering can and water everything around the house making everything smell like shit and annoying living with him.
My question is does this actually do anything good for the plants?
I tried to look some information on composting and found that you're suppose to keep balance between moisture and air in compost - meaning turning it once in a while, so the air can get inside of it, not making "soup" in a barrel.
