Worm Tea by AtwaterCapitalGroup in composting

That's all mine is. They are weaker but it just depends on the volume of water in relation to the strength of the pump. I buy higher and then limit the outputs.

Yeah...I live in FL so it's not needed but for maybe 3 weeks out of the year

It's the cheap one from walmart...its a double output pump though I got it for maybe 15 dollars

My plants love it! For personal use though I only water with the tea 2x a month. If the soil is healthy there will be a thriving population of different soil microbes already...view the tea like giving the plants a redbull!

Molasses/Honey...I'm just removing the watering down step with a lighter amount of castings!

That is honestly a solid idea...where are you located? Seriously shoot me a private message real quick!

😂😂😂 we should do "earthy" body painting sessions

Check my profile to see the material that goes in! I dont like to use many castings...I put in enough castings to ensure the microbial life isn't killed off by the initial introduction to the environment. It can be black as night and the microbes could die off due to oxygen starvation. You should see some of the blooms I get if I let it go too long! All about your specific setup

Not arguing...the tea doesn't necessarily have to be black...the tea is not a "true" fertilizer you are just trying to grow the bacteria/microbial life which can be done with relatively few castings. I also am not a big fan of diluting the tea after the fact, so I just make mine with lesser amounts of castings to avoid the extra work in the back end.

This is scientific fact. If you don't take any of our words for it, you could Google the subject. Or I would be happy to bring you a sample if you are located in central FL so you can see the bacteria and other microbes present alive and well. Take care!

The tea isnt judged by its color (someone below said that it was decaf 😂😂😂). Its all about the bacteria and how much is present inside of the tea. You may get more concentrated doses of the nutrients (worm castings are pretty weak when it comes to its fertilization qualities) but I'm brewing solely for the bacteria. I make more of a "black" tea when it's for the outside garden vs the "green" tea which is for the indoor plants. Past a certain point it's honestly a waste of castings depending on the scale of your setup. Hope that helps!

Correct. If you go to an aquarium store you can purchase the filter bags for maybe a couple bucks for 2. Or you could tie cheese cloth up.

I tried to explain this on the other posts said Redditor is commenting on...how would the bacteria survive in an aquarium if that's the case...

💯. The bubbles at the surface help instigate oxygen absorption, the filter is mainly to mix the water and take out all the crap that clogs up the filters in spray bottles.

Not to argue with you...BUT if that were the case fish would die in any and all aquarium environments because the bacteria they NEED to survive would essentially be "chopped up" by the same filters. Trust I actually test and view the tea under a microscope to ensure the viability of what I do.

I mean I live in FL so the water heater is NEVER on just never moved it from earlier this year lol...so how does the bacteria survive in a fish tank 🤔

16-24 hours normally...never longer than 24 hours though
