Guys, I slacked off and did not drill holes to drain my worm bin. There is a sizable worm population but the leachate and casting is soggy and a tad smelly (not super smelly). I am going to drill some holes in new bins to make it proper today but do you think I can fix this by adding more leaves to the casting?

Update:

OK, I dumped out the bin, harvested the casting (An entire big planter full!) and layered the moist compost with leaves. Now I have 4 worm bins!


 
No thanks. We have all the government we need. This tiny ad would like you to leave now:
