It's kind of hard to diagnose compost issues from
"afar". Also, I have zero experience composting
in a container. Without being able to see, feel,
or smell your composting process. . . I'll say
that in my piles and sheet composting, I try to
maintain an equal ratio of "brown and dry" to "wet
and green", the latter could also include "moldy".
The moldy food will make fine soil, but it needs
some other stuff like shredded dried leaves,
shredded paper, cardboard, etc. I generally feel
that the more diverse the stuff going into the
pile, the better the end result compost.

Hey Robert,
Thanks for getting back to me... My concern
isnt little critters.. its the
quality of compost... will moldy compost make
for good soil? Should I add
anything to it?
