Add #carbon to a #CompostAtHome bin
Wood chips, sawdust, #cardboard, #newspaper or paper, dried leaves, #straw or hay, pine needles, nutshell, and last but not least #compost.
The more it is chopped the fastest the #fungi in your bin will process it.

#CompostAtHome tip
If you have to #transplant your #seedlings make a bucket of aerated #compost tea. Soak the #seedling in the #compostTea for 30 seconds to get the biological activity in the #soil block.
The big pro of doing this is that you won't have to water after the transplant and it will give enough nutrients for the plant to grow and avoid any shock.

CW: What is leachate in a worm bin?
Leachate is the result of the excess moisture that you can collect from a #worm bin
The main problem that you will have from it is that there is a good chance that this liquid will be anaerobic. Bad #bacteria have developed in this liquid because it has been standing for too long without oxygen.
To avoid this issue it is best to adjust the amount of water in your worm bin and have no #leachate.
