    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.

    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

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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🥰

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    • @CaptainMattsWorms
      @CaptainMattsWorms  2 года назад +1

      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.
