    Loved the video, Natalie. I think I could title myself as the "Worlds Most Unglamorous Worm Farmer" 😂. I'd still recommend bubbling the water for 24 hours before making the tea as it will oxygenate the water and also evaporate any chlorine that made it through the filter.

    Worm casting tea can be fantastic. From what I've heard, people who are not using this method are the ones who had bad experience with worms being killed by making the tea (kind of the opposite idea of this approach in respect and harmony with mother Earth), especially the tiny "babies", and especially for the larger gardens, where you need more casting to prepare the tea, hence many more worms to save from drowning.

    greetings. fun to watch you and see what you have to share , so a new subbie. about one year into my first worm adventures, started with a blue barrel split in half and a few worms i found in some vermicast i bought,
    now have 2 4 foot by 8 foot cement block bins and building a 4 x 10 next s.s. pay day. they expand their numbers so fast .
    watching to learn the vermi tea . will make my first batch in the next couple of days
    like you i dream big, i am starting into farming, besides garden and have one hector of corn going and i hope to use vermi tea on the next crop.
    thanks for sharing

    Another great video Natalie! Thanks for doing this! I have been worm farming for over 10 years in a vertical migration system and always have more to learn! I bought the supplies for making worm tea over a year ago and haven’t put them to work. This video inspired me to get going with that. Two questions, how long do you “steep” the tea with the bubbler? And, how long will the steeped worm tea last?

    • @heyitsagoodlife
      @heyitsagoodlife  2 роки тому +1

      Ohhh good questions Debbie!! Happy Easter btw! I do mine for 24 hours and use right away! I find it goes anaerobic rather quickly so best used same day if possible!

    Hello. Stumbled on your channel today. Thank you. I have a couple questions.
    You mentioned a system that is too wet. That's me. I've struggled with that for seven years now. But, my worms seems to do fine. They thrive in fact. What can I do better to keep it dryer? And the liquid you mentioned: leachate or however you said it; is that bad to put on plants?
    Finally, do you have another method to make tea if I don't have the bubble system?
    Thanks a bunch.

    I’m sad to say, but my worms 🪱🪱 are still in their temporary bin. Between my back issues and some mild depression I haven’t finished their larger bin. They are still doing good though. I use rain water when I need to wet the leaves on top. I’m hoping I will be able to finish it by Monday. Happy Easter 🐣 and have a blessed day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕👩🏻‍🌾🪱

    Great video. I just want to ask you few things. If you are going to use the worm tea in the garden, is it necessary to wrap the castings in the mesh bag or you can just dump them in the water and dissolve them? They are going to end up in the garden anyway. Is there any particular reason why you are wrapping them? And instead of molasses can I just use regular white cane sugar? Will it make any difference? Thank you.

    • @ebonyphoenixrising6094

      If you don't have molasses you can use brown sugar.

    • @heyitsagoodlife

      Hey Dejan! You can dump them! But suspending them helps them stay aerobic and ensure they’re all being touched with air food and water.
