What I've done when things get too moist is fill an old pair of nylon stocking with paet moss and stuff it down the side of my bin.

I just use a rubbermaid, but it never gets wet enough to have tea. If it gets too wet, usually from me adding too many scraps, I leave the lid off for a day or so. I also stir to bring up the wet stuff. Others might disagree with the stirring, but it's what I do. (By stir I mean lift up gently from the bottom with a trowel.) Anyway, I like to see what's going on down there. LOL!

Thanks GardenGirl. What a great idea.

...and Socks, I poke around a lot too. Haven't tried stiring though. Which leads me to another question.

Why the rotation in the four corners when adding scraps? Does it really matter?

You might want to just drill a few holes in the bottom of the bin for the "leachate" to drain.

booswalia, I stuff shredded paper under the worm poop when things seem to get too wet.

I use rubbermaid bins with screening over the top, no holes in the container. They reside in my basement/garage.

"Why the rotation in the four corners when adding scraps? Does it really matter?"

From what I understand, worms don't eat the food scraps themselves, but they eat bacteria that grows on the food as it decomposes. So if you put food in one section of the bin last week, they might begin eating on it by the time you put more food in another section of the bin this week. By rotating around your bin and putting foodstock in different areas, you are less likely to over-stock one area of the bin (which can become a stinky, slimy, aneraobic mess if it gets too wet).

Some people don't bother with the "hole" method at all, and just sprinkle foodstock on top of the bedding, then add more bedding on top of that. Kinda making layers.

I started my bin a few years ago, doing the quarters thing. Now I pretty much just feed right side/left side. I pull the bedding back on one side, lay down the new food, and mound the bedding high up over it again. The "high side" of the bedding is the area I just fed, so next week when I feed again, I know to feed the "low side" (which then becomes the new "high side"). But we only have about 4 cups of scraps a week. If you have more than that, you may want to have more than two spots in your bin among which to rotate feeding.

You could just push cardboard down along the sides. I line my outside bins (both sides and the bottom) in this way to help insulate and darken the beds, but it also absorbs any excess moisture. Also, the worms like cardboard, especially corrugated cardboard. They like to slide into the little tunnels.
