Our worms have been busy "brewing" a fresh batch of tea which makes an effective, natural fertiliser.

Our worm tea is available for purchase from the office - $1/litre

Here is some more information from Ground to Ground

What is Worm Tea?

I started this post trying to describe ‘Worm Tea’, and before too long ran into all kinds of ways to name it and make it.

So let us start with this general rule – that ‘tea’ is all the goodness of the worm farm in water, and then putting that directly into the soil or onto the plants.

Worm Team can be made in a dozen different ways with a variety of ingredients and range of preparation. Some people drop vermicast into a bucket of water, stir it once a day for a week and use that. Some use compost in water and still call it worm tea.

Yet again, others swap or interchange the term ‘worm tea’ with ‘worm wee’, ‘worm pee’, ‘compost tea’, ‘worm juice’, and also ‘worm lechate’. Any combination of – worm, wee, and tee!

When and How to Apply Worm Tea in the Garden

Now it is just a case of getting that worm tea into your plants!!

• In either early morning or late afternoon, take the bucket full of worm tea to a plant

• Pour some of the contents from the leaves down, until it is all soaking the soil

• Move to the next plant and repeat 🙂

• If you want the control (and waste minimisation), of a hand held spray bottle, filter out any gunk with mesh or a strainer. A blocked spray bottle will just plain ruin your day.

• You can make the tea last longer by mixing 50/50 with rainwater, but I never do. Why dilute it when you can just make more?
