Showerthought: I was adding way too much water to my bokashi bin

My apartment smelled like sweet, rotten fruit for a month before I realized the scraps should be damp, not swimming. I was basically making pickles in there. How do you guys judge the right moisture level?

Squeeze a handful of scraps. If you get more than a couple drops, it's too wet.

Honestly that squeeze test is the best way to check. Tbh I learned the hard way when my first bin turned into a soggy mess. Ngl it took weeks to fix that smell.
