Worm Tea is a wonderful additional product from your worm bin.
The Worm Tea can be used as a natural fertilizer, but it is also an organic natural pest repellent for aphids, spider mites, white flies and scale. It doesn't kill the pests but in fact repels them due to an odor undetectable to humans.
Urban Worm Girl recommends you check the tapper on your bin at least once per week. The Worm Tea can be used straight without dilution as it won't burn your plants, however, we suggest that in order to spread the benefits amongst your houseplants or outdoor plants you dilute it at least 1:1 as it will go further.
All worm bins need newspaper and cardboard as bedding and a fiber source, but if you minimize the amount of bedding you can force your bin to produce more Worm Tea. Remember however that bedding and fiber is important to the health of your worms.
Do you think that the tea is good? Some people say you cant use it, unless it is brewed
ReplyDeleteHi Maine Worms,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting our site.
Urban Worm Girl thinks it is wonderful. Compost Tea (from an outdoor compost pile or bin) is the one that needs to be brewed. This is Worm Tea - it is made/soaked by the worm castings. It also is used immediately so it doesn't require the aeration.
