My balcony worm bin in Seattle finally clicked after a month of mess

I tried a small plastic bin with holes last month and it got way too wet, like a swamp. My friend in Ballard told me to add a whole newspaper shredded up for browns, not just a little. After a week of mixing that in, the smell went away and the worms got busy. Anyone else have a good browns source for a tiny setup?

Oh man, my first try was a total swamp bin too. I felt so bad for the worms, I almost apologized to them. I use my junk mail now, just tear up all those paper ads. It works shockingly well once you get the mix right.

Shredded cardboard egg cartons work great for that.
