How Often Should You Use Worm Tea?
As often as you like. There’s really no way to “overdo” it.
To reap the benefits of worm tea you can limit applications to once every 2 weeks for most plants and once a week for vegetables and fruits. If a plant is showing signs of distress of disease, apply more frequently.
Which Plants Benefit from Worm Casting Tea?
Worm casting tea can be used on any type of plant and everywhere: Flower beds, vegetable gardens, raised beds, potted plants and containers, hanging baskets, house plants, shrubs, and trees. It’s also known to make grass greener (brew up several gallons and use a sprayer to apply it all over your lawn.) It is completely natural, organic, and beneficial for all plants. Worm tea can also be applied to your compost pile to help speed up decomposition.
How to Apply Worm Tea
You can use worm casting tea to water the soil or use it as a foliar spray to spray directly onto the plants. The latter is especially effective if the foliage is showing signs of disease.
How Long Does Worm Tea Last?
Worm casting tea does not get better with time. It has living microbes in it and needs to be used up quickly. In cold temperatures it will keep for 3 days before the microbe populations begin to decrease. In warmer temperatures use it within 24-48 hours. Be sure to keep your worm tea out of the sun; store it in a shady area.
To summarize, worm castings:
Here's what you'll need:
Follow these Simple Steps to Make Worm Tea Fertilizer without the air pump:
1. Bag up the worm castings:
Begin by placing your worm casting fertilizer into your chosen porous bag and securely tying the end. Fill your 5-gallon bucket with water and submerge the bag containing worm castings. Stir.
2. Steep overnight:
Once your bag of castings is submerged and soaking, allow it to steep overnight. This process will activate the composting magic. Periodically stirring the mixture aids in its aeration.
By morning, the water should adopt a light brown-blackish color — indicating your worm compost tea is ready!
3. Feed It to Your Plants:
After the worm castings bag is depleted, you can repurpose it by adding it to a potted plant or your garden.
Congratulations!
You've successfully crafted a basic batch of worm compost tea. Essentially, all it takes is soaking some vermicompost in water overnight—it's that effortless!
