Default Wormery Too Wet

The material in the top of my wormery has gone quite soggy. The area beneath
(where the worms "live") is quite damp - but not too wet.

I only put vegetable matter in the wormery.

Is there something I can mix in with the rotting veg to absorb the moisture?




I regularly add ordinary cardboard (nothing too shiny or laminated),
including egg boxes, kitchen tissue and toilet roll centres. Scrunch
flat cardboard so that it does not lay flat and make a solid airless
barrier. Worms love it.
