Worm compost tea

[amitzauber]

Hi Gents,
I was wondering if you are using WCT on your tropicals.
Do you have special recipeces?
Good or bad experience?

Was trying my first worm compost tea yesterday. Hoping for good results

I'd like to know as well. There are recipes out there, but prefer something more field tested than a random recipe off a diy site.

I use worm compost tea on everything, Usually dont stick with a recipe sort of grab whatever is around to mix with it (kelp, comfrey, nettle, bat guano, i even throw dirt from the garden in it). Just experiment with everything in its base form and you cant go wrong.

1 gallon of worm castings from my bins
6 tablespoons of molasses (I bought mine from kelp4less)
Azomite
insect frass
maybe some Epsom salts

The container I use is around 15 gal.  I aerate the water overnight during the summer/24 hours during the winter.  Unless if I'm using collected rainwater, which doesn't need to be aerated.  I also use wastewater from my fish tank, which makes the compost tea even better.

I actively aerate all the ingredients for 24-48 hours.

If you wanted your plants from city water won't it kill the beneficial bacterial in the soil?

I remove the chlorine by pre-aerating the water for 12 hours during the summer/24 hours during the winter, before adding the mix.  I used to put the castings in a burlap bag, but now I just dump them directly

I believe I've had good results, but nothing scientifically studied
