Worm Casting Tea on Tap 

Wonderful to hear, AJ. You can do it!

That’s how we learn, Ted. Keep going and you’ll find success!

@@CaptainMattsWorms I was trying to get onto the worm people app, I am in Ireland and was wondering if the app is available in my region, thanks I hope I do find success this time around.

@@tedoneil7464 hmm… not certain about the app… if not, you can use forum from computer.

It’s in the video description

That’s one way to do it… I typically use cold brew coffee filters myself (see my video from last year) - but this attempt was to make it as simple as possible for indoor plant folks to DIY.

Interesting… what’s the rationale?

@@CaptainMattsWorms Rhonda Sherman and Norman arancon do not recommend using that or sugar-based products because one reason is that if pathogens such as E coli Salmonella are presentthey will be enhanced by the sugar-based but recommend using something like humic acid kelp meal alfalfa meal as a bacterial food source. I know one worm farmer who makes worm tea using kelp meal. Kim Bolton at a vermi farm. I don't have the book in front of me but when I find it I will let you know the rest of the reasons there's a whole on this matter in the book. Whenever I made an extract I would always use something like ashes for the potassium calcium or biochar or sometimes nothing at all depending on what kind of of bedding I used. Also if you use sugar-based products as an accelerator there's a chance that the microbes might feed on it too quickly and then they have nothing left

The thing is , here in the uk for one we don’t have molasses- never heard of it before I started watching worm channels from the USA. We can only really use honey is what I’ve been told to use.

@@cherylhowker1792 Molasses was invented by the british so the fact that you are saying you dont have access to it is kinda crazy.

@@pilsplease7561 only on Amazon . Never seen it in a shop.

Thanks, Karen!

I have the same question.

I’ll advise people to remake… as long as bubbling, it could last for a few days - until the sugars are exhausted. This process is for folks with large numbers of houseplants - so practically - they’ll use it all quite quickly.

Awesome!

A few days… but sugars will slowly be depleted.

Hey Jim! If tea is oxygenated and fed, it can last for multiple days. I would recommend brewing fresh after a week or so, rather than attempting to prolong a tea bucket for too long.

Most sugars should work - just not honey as it has anti-bacterial properties. Molasses has a spectrum of nutrients along with the sugars - so a very good choice.

Molasses always mess up my plants

Not long… when I sell at farmers market - I bottle right before and tell people to use immediately.

I don't typically spray... but it would likely make sense to dilute.

Interested in your thoughts and advice, Josh.
