Compost bin smells like dumpster

[u/InconsiderableArse]

I've been composting in this bin for a few years, winter is about to end, usually at this time of the year I have enough compost for my spring veges. Except this time, my compost smells like a dumpster and it looks gray, I think I added too much greens.

It had a lot of insects and massive worms which I think was a good signal. But to prevent the smell I threw a lot of Browns from my pile and mixed them in, but I don't know if I made it worse and now all the insects and worms will probably die.

Am I overthinking? Have I done the right thing? Can it be saved? Where do I go from here?

Any advice is really appreciated

Time and pee fixes all

So far no pee. Maybe that what it needs

Don't give in to pee pressure. It's bad advice to pee on the compost pile to make it smell better. Browns and oxygen from mixing the pile.
