What is the best Fertilizer on Earth? Worm tea or sometimes called worm juice, is a magical elixir. This ‘liquid gold’, has billions of beneficial microbes, not found in synthetic liquid fertilizers. It is a recipe from mother nature that delivers nitrogen fixing bacteria to your plants.
This worm tea is the secret to those huge contest winning pumpkins. It is also how many gardeners get beautiful healthy plants with big, bountiful, vegetables and flowers. This ‘worm juice’ introduces beneficial microbes and good bacteria into the soil.
Building soil structure is the basic building blocks for the ultimate harvest. Organic matter heightens nutrient storage and absorption, increases soil aeration, for an overall healthier soil.
While it is pretty easy to make this amazing ‘worm juice’, it is pretty messy! You need to start with a few pounds of worm castings. Basically, you make a gigantic tea bag by placing the castings in a 600 micron paint strainer or burlap bag. Then put it in a container with about 3 gallons of lukewarm water. Let it soak, at least overnight. Then it is ready to use.
Just spray this ‘worm juice’ on the plant leaves. Spray enough to let it drip into the soil. Not only will it eliminate destructive insects, it protects against a variety of foliar and root pathogens.
It can be fun to make your own worm farm for ‘worm juice tea’, but it can be very time consuming. At Vermitechnology we have happy worms living in the perfect controlled environment, converting waste into natural an all-natural plant food every day.
