Talking Worm Juice?

Hi does anyone here use worm juice for fertilizer? I'm just wondering because I use it on a ton of my plants but I'm not sure about bananas so any advice on whether or not It would work and the benefits of using the magical liquid would be terrific!

i dont think it will kill the plant :P besides worm juice is organic not a man made fertilizer that will burn the plant if not used properly :P but to each their own i guess. Just a suggestion you don't have to do it

Yes, I have used it. I mix it heavily with a lot of water just in case. What I do is not really exact or anything but ill take out all the worm juice I have (That will fill about half a 5 gallon bucket.) I will then fill this bucket with water and mix in up real good. I then fill another 5 gallon bucket about 4 - 6" full then fill with water and pour it around the root zone.

Honestly I can not tell much difference right away, but the way I see it the more organic material in my soil the better. I do know that my plants seem to keep growing and all seem to kind it. I would say the few tree's I have planted in just sand seem to like it the most. I have also noticed in increase in worms found in the soil. It could just be that there are little ones mixed into the juice and get dumped on the ground also.

I just suggest watering it down real good, and you can mix it with other fert you may be using.

Technically, worm juice and worm castings are supplements and not fertilizers.

You'll provide your plants with better nutrition by putting the worm castings into your soil mix before planting or directly on the soil surface covered by a thick layer of mulch.

Health wise, spraying outdoor plants with worm tea during the warm months is a great way to get fungal and insect infestations.
