My bins are just Rubbermaid totes, so I'm not sure I have 'deep enough', but I don't mind the sprouts. They're just future worm food. Right now the bins look like they need mowing because I threw some old wheat berries on top last week.i bury them down deep enough that they can't sprout, they end up rehydrating and then fermenting in a fantastically smelly mush that the worms love.
I rarely have any real quantity of dry beans that I'm throwing out so I don't get the smelly mush that way. I did add a couple of pint jars of old beans that I mixed with some sawdust and added last spring and .. that was a bit much, even in small quantities per bin. The worms were fine, but went on a bit of a vacation around the top of the bins for a few days. Whoops!
