Super soil batch saturated with rain

Question about my batch.. I've got it stored in several rubbermaids outside and we had some pretty severe weather a week or so back. One of the tubs was under a drainage area and filled with water. Can it just be dried out again or has something been fundamentally altered with the mix? Should I re-add any additives that may have leached out? It's pretty much just solid muck right now but it's been drying out in a wheel barrow in the sun for a few days..I did scoop out a good amount of the standing water and used it in the garden (really got the tomatoes and peppers going!) so whatever would have been leachable would be reduced in concentrations now..Thanks!

so... dry it then?

I'm gonna drop it in a garbage can with an airstone in the bottom and toss a bag of happy frog in for good measure.

I just wanted to say vagina but yea that's what I would do its not going to dry much in the can, just be careful if it is liquidy you don't want it to run away when you dump it

It's about the consistency of wet clay right now so I don't think it will run.. Been hot here lately. Definitely guarantee it's mixed well now!

It's easy to fix any problems while cooking super soil. Simply, let it dry out. Even if it goes anaerobic, as long as there's a hole to make room for aerobic bacteria. It will always be cooked right, might have a setback of a few days or a week, but it will always be cooked right long as you got that airspace.

I've mixed the remaining tub of ss back into the whole mix and it's drying in the garage on a large tarp as we speak.. Added some more ews and happy frog just to feel good. :)

First batch of ss btw.. I did manage to cook it long enough for my first batch before it got flooded.. Love it!! So do my tomatoes, and peppers, and everything else it touches.

These were taken a week ago, they're much plumper now and I just added another 360W today for a grand total of 960W..
