Spring is here and it is time to plant in Texas. Worm castings are rich in P,N,K but the most valuable component are the beneficial microbes that will add life to soil and plants. We have a ton of worm castings at our two Texas farms. You can pick up a 10 lb bag for $20. Add a handful of castings to seedlings or brew up your own compost tea to really get the most out of just a few lbs of worm castings. You will be surprised just how far a small amount worm castings can go.
Here’s a video from a few years back where we brewed up 500 gallons with a combination of worm castings and compost.
Do worm eggs live through the compost tea brewing process? When using vermi tea are you watering in worm eggs?
Great question. I think it depends on how long they are in the water? I have had many small worms survive the tea brewing process, and I’m sure eggs would as well.
