If any holes or tears appear, patch them by placing small pieces of the reserved dough
scraps over the holes, let stand for a few seconds, and then gently tap them with your finger until they adhere.
I've used a large pickle container (the Warehouse size) on counter with a few red wrigglers thrown in on top of leaves or shredded mail and then just put
scraps in and cover with a lid pierced with some air
holes... if fruit flies are a problem, a cloth or paper towel with rubber band or screw you nail pieced lid right
over.
