Default Re: Compost Tea

I have lots of plants so therefore I use a 55 gallon drum for my worm tea. I can actually use it about 2-3 times, by using up about 60% of the water, then fill it back up with de-chloronated water and get the most out of my worm castings.

Here's a picture of the first time I tried it. I found it a mess to clean out the silt at the bottom when I didn't use a strainer bag so I used a pillow case tied to a broom stick from then on. Looks like this stuff is working on the vegetables. I'm only using worm castings, molasses, and kelp so far so if someone has more suggestions let me know. I want to give my plants the best stuff they can get.
