The following question…
Can you discuss the specific process you use for making worm tea in detail and provide suggestions for someone looking to get started?
…was put to Michael J Wellik, you can find out more about Michael here…
Response: I have a home made tea brewing system consisting of either a 5 gallon bucket or a 35 gallon tank.
I use the system that is closest to the amount of tea I need at a particular time.
For example, in the winter when I am germinating strawberry seeds, a 5 gallon batch is sufficient daily for applying to the plug trays. I apply it as a drench. In the spring, summer and fall when I have many plants outdoors in containers I brew a 35 gallon batch almost daily.
The equipment consists of the bucket or tank and other easy to find products.
I use nylon paint straining bags that are sold in hardware stores and big box stores.
This is the “tea bag”.
These come in 2 and 5 gallons sizes. I use 2 oz of vermicompost / gallon being brewed. It is put into the bag and tied close with a twist tie and dropped into the bucket / tank.
Brewing is done with an aquarium air pump. [Click Here To Continue…]
