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...

Just finished harvesting the worm castings

All finished with the worm castings. It took about an hour to harvest all the worms castings, which by the way there was a total of 2.5lbs. of worm castings. Yes, thats right, 2 1/2 pounds of worm castings in three months! I found many, many baby worms while digging through the castings. Overall the worm composting bin seems to working great and is in excellent working order. The worms seems happy and are reproducing at a very fast rate. Photos to come later....
