Get used to being scared to death. Contams are a part of the buisness. Just keep stuff clean. You will invariably lose some here and there.

i put some baking soda on the bottom of the box where my jars are incubating, and it killed the smell. so i guess everything is good, unless putting baking soda around the jars is not good.

Contaminates pop up here and there. Even when you get a rather good setup a few jars will be lost. Bad spores, bad luck, it just strikes. Sometimes it takes 12 jars at a time. Oh well, try again and succeed. It is the greatest feeling next to having human babies (atleast, untill you get used to it).

Um, I don't think putting baking soda in the box will make your contam go away. You will probably see contam growth soon. Wet verm doesn't smell like pickled cabbage.
