I'm thinking of getting some worms and using the castings to make worm tea. Do you keep worms? What's your tea recipe?
What's your setup like and how much does it produce?

5 gallon bucket of un-chlorinated water + a couple of cups of worm castings + 1/4 cup unsulphured molasses + add a bubbler to the water to provide an aerobic environment for the microbes in the castings > let the ingredients steep for 1 - 2 days then use right away on plants.

Careful not to go anaerobic, worm bins aren't turned or heated, so you never know what you might get. A biologist I listened to on youtube cautioned against it for these reasons. Doesn't mean it can't be good

Ashton, I agree. I think you'd want to limit moisture and turn the castings regularly - if that's possible. I might give it a try and see if it's worth the effort.

Well worms like a decent amount of moisture. Just try not to soak it until it's saturated
