Compost Tea Actively Aerated Version
Compost tea is not a magical process. Actively-aerated compost tea is relatively simple to make with a minimum of expensive equipment. Follow along as we show the process of creating a 25-gallon batch of worm casting tea. We explain the equipment needed and even give you a simple recipe for worm tea. Some handy tips are provided to help you make that first batch of compost tea. The equipment used to make the tea in this video cost about $100.00. It will last for years. Compare the cost of compost tea to liquid fertilizers. Worm tea becomes a better value quickly. And it is much better for your soil health.

Great info, thank you!
❤
If the castings are too wet to harvest. What can I use to dry it.
Will a good filter remove the chloramine as well as the chlorine. I usually use distilled but it gets spendy
That 6" deep is so much easier to move around than the deeper rubbermaids when they are moist
I def got to get ours drier ....I will wait a few weeks. The tray works great when it's dry enough ❤
Ty Rick for including your channel and biz card with the tray. Julia Lane (this is hubby's channel I'm using )
I need to separate mine out. I have so many cocoons .I made my worm casting bin out of two large rubbermaids..I could literally divide into ten
Love the tray !
Mine are a lil too moist to go thru the screen well. What is the best thing to dry out the castings some without hurting the worms. Just more coco coir?
Perfect video, awesome information and I like your presentation....I'm subscribed! Thanks for posting!
Will the eggs go through the mesh basket?
The only water filters you want to use for chloramines and chlorines would be Catalytic carbon, you can use any acid to remove chlorine from water but citric and tartaric are best.
Thanks so much!!
Thanks
I Enjoyed That 👏👏👏♥️♥️
Thank you- great information!!! Ordering one of your worm sifters.
Cost to bay casting
What a great tool!!! I am going to order one this week! Thank you for sharing it!
Great tips, thank you!
I've been breeding worms ( well they breed themselves !!) for about a year now... am always too worried about not kinowing how dry they can handle... so I don't dry my castings at all , but am devising ways to make harvesting easier... but I am not a commercial breeder ( yet ) so can take a little time. But I appreciate this video a lot, it will help me , teach me more. Thank you .
Thank you for the information. I like that screen. I'm new I just moved my bin into the pole barn for the winter. I wrapped it with some Styrofoam best I could hoping it won't freeze here in the Midwest it can get really cold sometimes. My bin is too wet so I put some new bedding to dry it up. A few weeks later it's just as wet or wetter? Seems it's from condensation literally dripping from the lid and sides of the bin. What can I do? I drilled holes all the way around it along the top but maybe too small? They were like 3/8"? I'm thinking of removing the lid and put a screen over the top. But cold below freezing temps coming this weekend. I haven't seen anyone talk about the bin creating so much moister out of thin air? What would be a better absorbent bedding option? Peat moss better than card board? This is a blast but the last thing I want to do is kill the worms
Thanks for sharing 👍
I like your video clips , as they are simple and up to point
Do you offer instructions on how to harvest the castings?
This was the video he did on harvesting. ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/fbVQv2xDdmk/v-deo.htmlsi=Lv6z0PTr8WeizyZ7
All of the large cities in the US are now treating their water with chloramine. This is different than chlorine and is much longer lasting. It can only be removed using KDF-85 technology or ascorbic acid/vitamin C powder. 1/8 teaspoon of powder is more than enough to treat five gallons of municipal water. It takes less than a minute if agitated vigorously. High-capacity KDF-85 filter such as Camco or Boogie Blue are about 70% effective when new. These cost about $60. Filters in the $20-$30 range are not effective at all.
How do I get rid of Larvae from my worm bin ?
Yes
Thanks for sharing, great video. How many times a year would you apply this to a northern climate turf? Would you also apply any additional fertilizer to the turf or only the tea? Thanks
Can I just use vitamin C tablets over the counter to put into a 5 gallon pail of water to cancel out the chlorine?
How often should you use the "tea" in garden?
Is mold normal in my bin .
Hi Rick, how long can the finished product sit before it should be used? I am also curious if you have ever made a super condensed version of this brew. Thanks a lot! Have a great day!
Thank you Rick, I love your videos
Great ideas. Most city water supplies use chloramine (a chlorine substitute) to chlorinate water (check your municipal water report to confirm). Aerating will not reduce chloramine, however, a scant 1/8 teaspoon of common Ascorbic Acid (powdered Vitamin C from amazon, health food store or pharmacy) added to 5 gallons of city tap water will virtually eliminate chloramine and chlorine. It will also slightly reduce the pH (YMMV). Happy worming
What’s the minimum amount of time you would aerate for? Thanks
Incredible video!!!
Thankyou for this informative video,Beautiful casting there :)
You had me at, "I don't know what happened. I used to be normal." Same Sir, Same! 😂
I cannot get your sight to open.
LOL I love it!!
Hi Rick! Thanks, I love worms! They can save the world…👍🏼😊
Confession. ....Once a worm farmer ,always a worm farmer,. I have done it since the 70 's. Even if I try to stop I don't seem To be able to.
I'm so happy for having found this video. I was thinking about this for my off-grid home, and I was wondering how could you separate worms from the compost. You're the first one that did this carefully, without being brutally harsh with the poor animals. The system is efficient, easy, and respectful. Thank you so much! I was also wondering... would it be okay to let some of those worms in my garden now and then when using the compost?
Thank you very informative
Really nice video. Thanks for the help. Gonna check out the sifter and the pdf. Thanks so much and Jesus bless.
How much you sell your bucket casting

Awesome
Rick, have you - or anyone else - checked the castings under a microscope after six months to see the level of microbial life and diversity as compared to same when you put the castings first into the bucket?
Yes, Urban Worm Farm. life is good or better except for Nematodes.
