 stinky vermicompost okay to use? - 2008/04/09 08:21 Hi! I've been reading lots of prior posts and think this is a great forum of info.
I did the newbie 1 month old bin thing and got the bottom too wet and Stinky . I took everything out and layered it between dry shredded paper; the worms all seem fine, just some sluggish ones at the bottom. There was about an inch of the stinkiest stuff at the bottom that is probably mostly castings. Once it dries out, is it as good to use as regular vermicompost?
Thank you!

 Re:stinky vermicompost okay to use? - 2008/04/09 08:43 It's probably just stinky mud. You could try adding it to a house plant and see what happens. There might not be much worm poo in it after just a month.

You have done well to read the old posts.

Good luck,

 Re:stinky vermicompost okay to use? - 2008/04/09 15:34 Marshall is correct, it probably is ok. I had the same thing happen, but no harm to the plants...

Good Luck

BTW, there is a good manual to read [posted by red Hen in the Reading and Lit forum on page 2 www.wormcrusader.com
