Making worm tea

Here is the irrigation line and emitters I will use to add air into the mixture.

Clip the airhose to the pantyhose with the clothespins.

Add in the pantyhose filled with worm castings.

Air pump.

Keep the air  pump above the water line so it will back flow into the  air pump.

Notice the large amount of bubbles, which indicate that the emitters work well at allowing air to ass through.

Let this sit for 2-4 days and then use as a foliar feed as well as pouring it on the garden and plants.

2.5 pounds of worm castings total after 3 months

Here is a photo while we were harvesting our worm castings. We got a total of 2.5 pounds of worm castings and have since started to make worm tea, used the worm castings in our indoor garden and have mixed the worm castings into a home made soil mix consisting of perlite, vermiculite, peat moss and worm castings.

Worm tea is brewing

I now have the worm tea brewing!

Here is how I am  making my worm tea:

- 5 gallon bucket filled with water
- 2 tablespoons of unsulfured molasses
- Air pump for a fish tank
- Drip iirrigation tube for air hose
- 1 drip irrigation "T"
- 2 adjustable drip emitters
- Pantyhose to put worm castings in
- 2-3 clothespins to hold drip irrigation line to pantyhose to keep air blowing from the bottom

I'll let this worm tea brew for about two days. I plan on pouring the finished worm tea into a two gallon pump spray and use on my entire garden and landscape. Pictures to follow...
