my bin smells like...

deep, damp, earth... like a forest. i'm so happy with it.

thanks everyone, for all the advice. i think the worms are happy too.

i don't work for this company, but they are so helpful. the Happy D Ranch (i didn't buy my composter from them...it was a christmas gift), but i did get my worms from them.

they genuinely care about what they are doing, they have spent countless minutes on the phone with me, talking about my setup, giving advice, etc.

today i called to order more worms (see my other thread), and they actually pointed me away from my original plan, to order more trays for my tower.

they lost money, and pointed me in the right direction!

i highly recommend this company for their products, worms, informative staff, etc. (and they have a cool website)...
