Wow, so I've been doing pretty well with these little wiggly things and getting some good compost from them but when I went to feed them yesterday, the surface of the top bin was pretty moldy. Is this usual? It's not black mold (thank goodness) but the bluish-green type you find on old food.

I had a tiny bit of mold when I first started out and so I wrote to the company. They said mold is a natural part of decomposition but I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong? The worms do seem to be okay....

I should also mention that it's not overly moist in there. In fact, it can get pretty dry so I added almost no paper last time I fed them. Maybe this is why?

Thanks in advance for advice.
