Barley sugar it sounds fine, it's supposed to look pickled rather than decomposed and it does have a bit of a strange smell to it sort of cider ish.
You could use it in a bean trench but make sure you cover it with soil it'll break down really quickly, approx 8 weeks or so, there is some footage on you tube demonstrating this will see if I can find it.
