Case study on Composting problem

Problem: 

1) Worms coming out of bin/pile is too wet/pile is smelly.
    
Solution: 

  • Nitrogen is high in your pile.Need to add more carbon rich materials(crushed dry leaves/sawdust/newspaper pieces). Once added mix your pile well. 
  • There should be a hole at bottom so that extra liquid can be released which is called Leachate (very nutritious for plants).
2) If there are many flies in compost bin.

Solutions: 
  •  Check if your pile is too wet then try solution provided above,if problem still exists add 1 spoon of turmeric and salt mix.
  • You can also add neem powder if available.
