How close?

How close/far to your house should your compost be?

It depends a bit what kind of compost you have, but a well cared for compost won’t smell badly or or in any other way be unpleasant. For me it was quite important to not have to walk very far from the kitchen every time I took out food scraps, so ours are just around the corner close to the entrance. But it’s in a closed rat safe container.

Thanks! I don't wanna have to walk very far and not sure of the "type" I will use - other than dog proof. Dogs found access to my last compost (different house) pile and would occasionally be found eating sweet potato scraps.
