![]() ![]() Worm tea is water that has been used to “brew” worm castings, also known as worm poop, to create a liquid fertilizer. Some sellers will say that this leachate is worm tea, but it is not. Many of the best worm composters have a spigot tap on the bottom for removing the leachate. Leachate is a liquid that can pool beneath the worm casting if your worm composter runs too wet. ![]() Recommendations: For the best results of worm tea, limit applications to once every 2 weeks for most plants and once a week for vegetables and fruits.5) Worm Tea Final Thoughts What is Worm Tea? Dry worm tea bags should be used within a year. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Note: For best results, place an aerator (can be picked up at your local pet store) and aerate worm tea for 24 hours (air pump is NOT included). Use it all shortly after on your household plants or in the garden. Once the water turns light brown, signalling your tea is brewed, strain any stray castings out and pour into a watering can or spray bottle. Use ONLY rain or filtered water, no tap water! Let it steep for 24 hours. Place 1 bag of worm tea into 1 gallon (4.5 L) jar. Ingredients: 100% worm castings, kelp, brown sugar.ĭirections of use: Do not open the bag! It is ready for use.

Rather than spreading handfuls of worm castings across a large area (not cost effective), worm casting tea is an effective way to “stretch out” the worm castings to cover more area and to allow for easy application (simply water the plants). In this way the nutrients in the worm castings are extracted into the water and the resulting “tea” is used for watering and nourishing plants. Also called worm casting tea, vermicompost tea, or worm compost tea, it is an all-natural liquid fertilizer that is made from steeping worm castings (worm manure) in water. ![]()
