Compost bin

We've had a black plastic compost bin for about 10 months now and we checked it the other day to find the compost was slimy, I did a search on Google about what could be done, Some one said that if we put wood chippings into it it would help, So with us doing some woodturning we had a good pile of sawdust and we decided to make another compost bin, So we built a wooden frame around the black bin and nailed some wicker panels to it, Then Louise took the black bin out (I was at work at the time) she said it absolutely stunk, Anyway she added the sawdust and mixed it in now a week later it is looking a lot better and not as slimy as it was, we will keep adding sawdust to it and turning it over regularly.
