I am not talking about worm tea that is sun brewed from worm castings. I have a two layer system, the 2nd layer or bin is where the worms live, and have holes drilled in the bottom of it. The tea I am using is just the liquid that drips from the top bin down to the bottom bin. This liquid appears to be tan in color. Sometimes when I pull the liquid there is also lots of black clumps down there that I also mix into the tea I harvest. When I throw in something like a half a head of expired lettuce I will be able to harvest a good amount of this worm tea as the worms break the lettuce down and the access water drips through all the castings making this rich run off / tea.
