Well not all compost stinks, miasma shouldn't prevent you from using it anymore than stockpiling rotting bodies does.

However, rats and other vermin love living in compost piles, so you may want to keep it a distance away from food stockpiles.  Or just set up animal traps (anybody know if you have to bait them in order for it to catch something that just wanders by?) around it, so you can increase your food stores.

Dwarves are fun little critters.

I would really like some sort of fertilizer that doesn't rely on the highly valuable wood resource.  I just don't see the logic behind cutting down a tree (of which you have very few) to give you two or three more plump helmets.  Maybe if it were a higher ratio than "one tree -> one unit of fertilizer", but not as it stands now.

I will, however, burn trees to ashes so I can build roads out of them.

Rats in the compost+Cats == More Compost!  

One tree should be able to fertilize a field 5x5 if not more!

The smell of a rotting corpse and the smell of compost are not anywhere near similar.

Preeeeety sure compost has been used since the dawn of agriculture to fertilize things...

Didn't the native americans have a trick where they buried a fish with the crops to help it grow?

Thats what i mentioned about the native American's using fish.

Fertilizer should be used upon construction of the plots and at the beginning of each season. It should be a required ingredient to be able to plant something at all (nothing grows on wet granite...besides some moss and lichen maybe). Farmers should also have to water the fields at regular intervals.
