Earthworms put out a by-product called castings, worm tea is obtained as water runs off or drips through the castings in the worm beds thus picking up the nutrients of the castings. Worm tea is infinetely richer in nitrogen, phosphate, calcium, magnesium and potash then the upper 6 inches of top soil.
Worm tea is not only a great organic plant food it is also a natural repellent for aphids, spider mites, scale and white flies.
This product will not kill insects, but repels them with a smell not detected by the human nose. Worm tea is also good for covering large areas such as lawns, orchards, gardens, etc. This type of organic plant food is said to increase plant appearance and up productivity by 4-10 times. Plants really perk up with this product, almost over-night. Its like having a compost pile in a bottle, much easier to use and its available year around.
Worm tea can be used for seed germination by using the wet paper towel spout method or water newly planted seeds. When used as plant food it can be diluted 50/50 with water and applied with each watering or it can be applied full strength once a week with water application between each use.
This product will not heat up and burn your plants, it (like castings) works as a soil ammender and sits in the soil until the plant is ready to use it. To use as a repellant spray plant liberally with tea full strength, apply again after rains.
The use of organic products actually reduce the cost of gardening in the long run because the long-depleted soil is gradually restored naturally and plants grown in this soil begin to develop their own defenses against pests and diseases.
Cut flowers love a teaspoon added to the water, it increases length of live and promotes more blooms.This organic plant food is great if you have pets or children, there are no chemicals to be breathed in, digested, or absorbed through the skin.
