We used it for our new garden beds to grow vegetables 👍🏻
We found no worms inside only ants and other crawlers. What could we be improving? 🌸

Browns
I’m too good looking to really know much, but putting rotting food under a layer of soil might not be the best idea.
Too “hot” needs browns and more time. You may have just poisoned your soil with nitrogen toxicity.
Yikes add some dried leafs along the way
Seems like you skipped the step where you compost the food scraps.
Have you had terrible flies for three years?
Yikes! Call the EPA!
I top dress with food scraps and throw a liitle soil or leaves on top. For me this works under a bush or tree, or beside tomatoes or beans. I’ve been doing it this way for decades. It’s better than commercial fertilizers.
I don’t know how that’s not all soldier fly poop by now.
Wayyyy more browns. Leaves, dirt, cardboard etc.
I have put not-quite-finished compost in garden beds plenty of times with no issues. But next time maybe go buy a whole bunch of night crawlers (or ideally red wigglers) from wherever folks buy worms for fishing in your area and dump them in the compost bin. They will make quick work of fruits and veggies.
Not even pee can fix this
Y’all gotta chill, compost is really not that serious
That’s very very very wet. It needs drying out by being mixed with shredded cardboard/paper, sawdust, leaves, tree clippings, grass cuttings &etc. I’m surprised you haven’t had rats or flies.
Get from red wigglers and put them on the food that’s decomposed. They’ll take it from there.
