Great information! I haven't missed one of your videos yet...My garden is 5 thousand sq. feet and it is now a huge worm bin. I keep 12 inches of compost and tree chips on top year around and it is getting better every year. God's little garden tillers have turned my lawn into a wonderful garden that produces thousands of pounds of produce.
Amazing, Kelly!
I can tell you have a heart for teaching and it is well received. Thank you
Much appreciated, Rey!
I've been growing Cannabis for 32 years this Summer Season. In that whole time, I've never used a Scott's or Monsanto product. Mad respect, homie.
I don't believe in Chemical Salts.
Yea , you’re a real winner ..😏
Yea JUDE! As a grandparent and teacher (somewhat retired :) I love seeing young kids assist and LEARN from us old folks!
Hi I'm a new worm farmer just getting going an I've really taken in alot of info from your videos I really appreciate you putting it out there thanks, Brad
Great to hear, Brad!
Hey Captain :) you have inspired me greatly. I was watching along, and I might have a helpful little tip to help. Instead kf emptying your tea into your strainer bag, and then bouncing it in a bucket, why not drill some holes in the bottom of one bucket, put your strainer bag in our “strainer” bucket, stack the strainer bucket on another bucket without hole, and pour into the strainer bucket. No more bending over bouncing that bag!
great idea!
Great info about making worm tea. My favorite part is how you "bit the bullet" in a few cases. I have met so many people that refuse to "bite the bullet" and then they wonder why they aren't successful in business or life. They refuse to spend $1 to make $5. It is so important to take responsibility and admit mistakes to learn and improve. Your videos are good for worms and good for people.
Hi Captain Matt, I got a question as you said you can store the worm tea after it is brewed for the summer in a bottle with the cap off to let it breathe and add a few drops of molasses periodically and shake well and remove the cap to let it breathe. My question is how often do you have to add a few drops of molasses to feed the microbe while in storage with the cap off and how many months can it stay alive by adding molasses periodically. Thank you for a great video on how to make worm tea.n

This is fantastic! I just started having worms (small bin). Can’t wait till I have enough castings to make worm tea for my 5 x 8 garden. I love the artwork and Jude is a great helper. He’s making memories!
thanks Captain for another quality vid. Have you ever tried putting the compost into the coffee bag, and let it steep the 24 hours? It seems like it would save you a little trouble in the bottling process.
you sure have grown alot in 9 months captain matt. thank you for your worm passion.
Appreciate your videos!! I'm new to making worm tea and have been directly filling a nut milk bag (I used to make almond milk) with the worm castings and adding it to the water in the 5 gallon bucket. It saved me a step in having to pour a heavy bucket into another bucket.
Makes sense, Rachel. Thanks for sharing your technique!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!…..now I lost your video and I spent over 2 weeks looking for you and your helper…I searched and searched….I was so frustrated…I must have found so many videos about worms but they were not yours…I got to the point I was so a grey with myself for not marking your video but I’ve got you now…lol…and I have you saved…you covered all aspects of worming……I hope you take this comment serious….you did a great Job and I even told my hubby and my garden friends about you…you have a great day and May all your worms be happy, healthy and breeding…lol…Chris…The worm lady of the future…lol
angry…not a grey…lol
Thank you so much for sharing wisdom and knowledge, sir! Please keep making videos.
Just came across you today - EXACTLY what I’m looking for! I’ve had my kitchen worm composter for 8 weeks now & it unfortunately didn’t come with many instructions. Yesterday was the first day I put some casting on my cucumber & tomato plants & was wondering what the heck to do next! How do we make the ‘worm tea’ stuff?!? And how to separate the casting properly & what the cocoons look like and how to stop the little boogers escaping during the night - Duh, leave a light on🤦♀. So I think I’m now in the right place, just some items to order and worm tea here we come - I can hear my poor house plants rejoicing already🥰
Love the biodegradable bottle. One way to keep recycling would be to give a dollar off re-fills at the market. You don't have to keep buying so many bottles and you get repeat customers using the old bottle.
Have you tried this? Is it something that would be cost effective?
That’s too practical you’re confusing people lol. Great idea
Ive really enjoyed this vid of yours. Ive been developing worm casting for over 10 yrs but on a small scale having enough for myself, sister and brother. I usually give each of them a 5 gal bucket of castings which they are happy to get. So this does give me thoughts on what I might do financially. Like I said I dont have room to expand as I raise my worms in a large walk in closet using a factory 360 setup.
Live your videos n learned so much.
Q1 what do u do with the castings after making the tea?
Q2 where do you get your bottles?
Q3 what are the dimensions of your casting bags
Look forward to your reply. Suzi
Omg I gotta have that little worm man on a shirt! Your company logo. So cute. Great video.
Thank you for sharing your secrets I’m gonna do this and I don’t have to reinvent the wheel thanks to you you’re amazing incredible man
Thank you for contributing to a healthy environment 🙏🏼
Thank you, very helpful. Most of all I love your sign: "Choose you this day Whom you will serve".
One thing I love about worm compost tea is organic I have my own worm composting system and I became a supplier to one of my buddies and he says his plants eat it right up fast and they are growing a lot more faster then with his old stuff he was using and my plants love it as well
I have just discovered your UA-cam channel and I want to say a big thank you for such an amazing video. I'm a beginner worm farmer, so I have learnt so much from you ☺️ you have new subscriber here, keep up the awesome content 🤩
You’re welcome, JaRhyLi!
I have been looking for a unique idea/product to sell at my farmers market to be able to get a table/booth. I’m going to have to expand my worm operation in order to have enough castings to sell and make tea with. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you for a tutorial on how to make worm casting tea. I've learned a lot today.
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. Absolutely love the verse on the worm bin. God bless you and your sweet family❤️
Thanks, Little Country Cabin!
Great info, love the energy. On a small note bubbling your water no longer works for getting rid of chlorine, i used a cheap carbon filter i hooked up underneath my sink to filter out the chlorine. Look up under sink filters the kind that let minerals pass through. If you cant filter your water adding kelp will at least neutralize some of the chlorine
Thanks Captain Matt! I have been waiting 30 years for this info.
You’re welcome, Tim!
From Spain, very good job, thanks
You're welcome!
Good info Captain. I make my batches with 4. 5 gal of chlorine neutralized water, 4 cups castings, 4oz Liquid Kelp for microbial nutrition, 5ml of liquid humic/fulvic acid. My castings going in a worm tea bag that I hang from my Bubblesnake aerator and connected to my 970L/Hr air pump. 24 to 36 hours later depending on the ambient air and then I just use that full amount to spread around the garden as a root drench. I believe that the more bubbles the better and I do not save my brew more that 12 to 24 hours as the microbial life in the tea will start to die as they use up the oxygen in the water. So, in my book fresher is better and the plants drink it up like crazy.
Hey, keep doing what you're doing. Heck you may have inspired me to bottle my brew and head to our local certified farmers market.
Thanks for the process walkthrough, Alvin. Agreed... fresh is best.
Thank you for sharing!
I'm 36 from Brazil, and I love love love your videos!! I wish my vermicompost get there one day! Spectacular
You can do it!
WOW! So grateful to have found your channel! You are being so generous with the information that you’re offering people, thank you so much! I thought about the labels that you ordered that we’re not showing it to be plant food, perhaps you could use those labels and put a sticker on top of it that specified plant food? I don’t know if that would be enough or appropriate but a thought for you to consider. I am anxious to start a worm farm from my gardening needs, thank you so much.
Great idea… I wish I had the advice of the Worm People back then! I’m looking forward to hearing about your work success!
I definitely appreciate the content you provide. Thank You!
Thank you for the knowledge and taking the time out to share.
Joshua 24:15 “ choose you this day whom ye will serve… what a blessed man he has scripture written even In his working space. That’s amazing.
Hi captain matt. I spray herbicides and tend to lawns. Could worm tea replace lawn fertilisers in my lawn care program? I've been doing a lot of reading about how detrimental these manufactured fertilisers are for microbial life in the soil
Matt, you're videos are priceless. Was considering going to the Worm Farming Conference the first weekend in November, but had someting come up. Hopefully next year!
Much appreciated - would love to say hello some other time!
@@CaptainMattsWorms I defiantly would like to give you guys a visit sometime tho
I am glad to get this info, I harvested castings yesterday. Now you have shown the process I need for my tea. Thanks so much. When transplanting plants how much castings should I use in the new garden area? Thanks Mike.
Thanks
Nu va supărați ce înseamnă piese turnate?
i wish i had a Attitude and spirit like this guys, seem like a very nice person
Hi. This as fantastic. Thank you. One question. In other videos I’ve seen recommended dilutions much higher than what you are suggesting. Have you seen any issues with plant’s getting “burned” with the high concentrate? This is great. I am very happy to have found your site!!!!
That’s the best thing with worm tea it dosent burn your plants like the chemical fertiliser does so a lil more quantity will not hurt god bless 🎉
Great video! I’m going to have to research the fact about bubbling the chlorine out of the water. Years in the aquarium hobby and I’ve never heard that.
Thanks
In love how endearing this is.
You’re amazing! I have learned so much! I am starting my worm composte in a couple of weeks. I love your energy. I have subscribed🙂
Awesome, Soul2sol Yoga! Thank you!
Fantastic video Captain!!! You are a brilliant presenter and TV could have used you!! You just got the personality!! Greetings from South Africa!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for telling us how to feed plants, instead of giving them chemicals that affect us like plants, you are a good person and you give good advice and no one tells us about this, how do you do it, how can I get from you the worms to make a small 4 x 12 compost bin for my garden thank you once again may my god multiply you in everything you do and bless you very much,
Worm Tea and Worm casting in combination is the best thing that you can give to your plants
IMHO it's the perfect fertilizer!!
especially if you feed worms nutrient specific food
Captain Matt, thank-you so very much for sharing your information! I am a beginning farmer and love the idea of using worm castings/tea for my veggies and flowers. I have planned to grow cover crops in both my outdoor garden and my high tunnel, in which I would till in the green organic matter at the beginning of spring. Once I have harvesting my worm castings, Would you recommend tilling it into the soil, as well, or should I lay a 6" layer on top of the tilled soil, then plant the seeds or plants? I really only intend on tilling once per year of the cover crops into the garden. Thank you again!
great idea for a farmers market product! Thanks for sharing! Maia
thank you so much for sharing, may God bless you for your generosity. Eva
You're welcome, Eva!
Another amazing video! Thank you so much for all the content and knowledge. Thanks for that link on the bags.
HEY Captain Matt! Nice video, you are passionate about your business, it shows . Where did you get your labels printed? I have a worm farm in Wisconsin.
You are a libraries worth of knowledge. I love your channel. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁
Greetings! Thanks for the encouragement!
Worm nation! Inclusive to all, yet highly obscure. I have joined your ranks.
Your such a Awsome guy to share info with us. I saving worms and$$$ THANK YOU
Just reviewed your video, going to make some tea today. Thanks for the information!
love your generosity and your product!
Hello Captain, when summer comes to an end, people stop buying castings and worm tea. How do you store that until next spring? Thanks for your videos and all the best from Europe!
Did you see how Jude poured the castings into the water? They guy is an expert! Good job!
Hi Capt Matt, I absolutely love your videos. I’ve made compost tea in large amounts and when I don’t use it it goes bad. If I put it in small bottles how often should I add a pinch of sugar to it?
Hey Garden & Worm Lady... you've got a great channel and worm operation going yourself! This year I'll likely be shifting away from advising people on how to keep worm tea fresh and just recommend using it immediately. Not everyone remembers to sugar and aerate it as instructed. To my understanding, preserving tea by aerating and adding sugars operates similar to how continuous brew kombucha is perpetually brewed in a jar... by adding sweetened tea periodically.
Captain Matt, I've got about 5 lbs of saved castings, and by "Grow Time" i'll have double that! I as SO going to extend the usefulness of my castings with "Worm Tea" (for plants only)
Thank you, Captain Matt and Josh for sharing such wonderful information and encouraging questions! I am an old lady and you have inspired me to give it a try! ☺️
With that in mind, how often should we feed the microbials, that pinch of sugar or molasses, to extend the life potency of the cap off bottled tea?
Thank you for your time!
Every few days will work... and shake to aerate. But you'll want to use it soon-ish.
This is a great informative video.
My farmers market isn't for farmers. But now I know I want to make a 5 gallon bucket of tea and then put a lid with holes and keep it fed for my own purposes. That way I don't have to brew as often.
Sounds like a good plan, Catherine!
Well done!. I'm glad I found your channel.
So glad I found your channel! Great content and so informative!
My oxygenating pump arrived earlier today - so I’m looking forward to being able to make some worm tea👍
Omg thanks for sharing!!!! The only question i have now: is good to oxygenate water for the worms??
I just found your channel. A fantastic source of all things worm related Could just print small stickers and add them to the unmarked labels? Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, advice, and straightforward information. The way you explain things makes it seem like I can make a successful go at raising worms
Great idea, J. You’re welcome!
For a good straining system looking to bubble hash bags the big ones for trash cans they are awesome and they will save you so much hard work.
Great tip, thanks red wolf.
Hey Capt! So helpful. Happy New Year! 🤗🎉
Hi Capt Matt. I love watching your videos. So much good info. My question: u said in this video to add sugar or molasses to tea to make it stay active longer. I had watched one of your videos that also said to feed your castings. How much sugar would I use n do I just mix it all up or just put on the top. Also how would I know if the castings are no longer viable. Thanks Suzi
Hey Captain I haven't started growing worms yet but I really am looking into it and I am learning so much from you thanks far your videos
You can do it, Charles!
Would it be a good idea to use fish tank water instead of fresh water when making vermicompost tea? I presume it could even more nutrients
My captain! my captain!
Thank You for the information.
Thanks Captain Matt, Your videos a very inspiring. Greetings from The Netherlands, Europe
Very welcome! greetings!
Thank you Capt Matt for all this wonderful information. I have liked and subscribed to make sure I get your knowledge. Question, why do you use mallassis instead of just plain sugar? Thanks again. Take care and God bless.
Thanks so much for teaching what you know. I´m fascinated with worm farming, though I don´t have much room to do it (I live in an apartment). I didn´t know how to make the worm tea, until you shared this great information. Isn´t God amazing, how He designed everything?
I've subscribed! You have inspired me and I am excited! Do you guys having a woofing program? I want to come work/learn. :)
Just about to make my first ever worm tea, thanks for the clear instructions as there seems to be a ton of conflicting info.cheers.
I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you so much. Starting to set up my basement this week.
Cool, Billy!
Yes sir I would like know where to get the coffee bag' s.
One thing that Ive often read is that worm tea needs to be used within 4 hours after the oxidation process . Which is what I do after making mine , so do you have a comment on this.
Brilliant video best explanation out there.
We are 2bfarms in Cincinnati we are Looking into starting to go to farmers market this summer tips or anything how to start a go to the farmers market or what to look for the farmers market with lotta video about that keep up the great work
Hey Mr Matt, I love ur channel and it has really inspired me to start my own worm bins and worm teas. Ty 👍
Love it, Nitro! You’re welcome!
Love the videos...keep em coming good sir
Great information! Thank you so much.
Terrific info packed video Capt. Matt !! Thank you so much👌👍🪱🪱🪱
You're welcome, Mike!
Excellent Video !!!
Great info, thanks!
Loving the videos curious where the bottles came from love the recyclable aspect gonna spin up getting a population of worms to add more items to sell at farmers markets
Added a link to the compostable bottles in the video description
I exclusively pour rainwater in my 3 worm bins (Can of Worms from Australia) and when the drain liquid is rich black I either bottle it in the winter or pour it directly in rain barrels for watering plants in the summer. Am I missing a lot of microbial component if I do not bubble, strain or add molasses?
Thanks for this Matt! This is awesome!! I'm excited to start a little worm farm and garden.
Fantastic!
Great instruction. I am about to build a scaled down version of these continuous flow bins. But I wonder about the math with the tea. The bottle looks larger than 16 ounces and you said your yield is about 24 bottles. For 5 gallons that doesn't actually work out. One gallon is 128 ounces. Divided by 16 you get 8 bottles which means 40 bottles per 5 gallon batch. I'm thinking your count is right but the bottles are actually 24 ounce. That would give a yield of 26 bottles per 5 gallons. No matter what the actual volume is, it is a great product. Love these very straight forward videos.
Hey g wolfe! Math was not my strong suit. Thanks for double-checking!
You have to remember that the five gallon bucket is displaced by the five pounds of castings. The castings will absorb and hold water as well as the filter bag. 24 16 oz bottles is three gallons of tea. I’m not sure where the math is wrong….especially if he is actually filling the bottles.
Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
What is the Big Red Bin grid size below where you scrape out the castings? Do you maybe have a Schematic of the Big Red bin. Regards Andre
