Sit for 48 hours
1 teaspoon soil = 1
billion of microbes
1 teaspoon compost = 4
billion of microbes
1 teaspoon worm casting = 6
billion of microbes
brewed can double colony in 12 hours
2 or 3 $ not
Use one of those salt water weights that you use for fishing. They are silver and egg shaped. That will hold down the bubbler.
3 tablespoons of humic acid
1/4 cup of crushed rock dust
1/4 cup Pelletized sea bird guano
3 tablespoons Unsulfured molasses

I noticed the tiki in the back my uncle carves those and sells them online if anybody is interested. And great video as usual
Once you make this compost team, do you dilute it and mix with water before applying to plants or do you use it straight out of the bucket?
People place it in the filter while airation is happening so you don't have things on the bottom becoming anarobic
you dont need humic acid on a worm compost. it is redundant
are wrom tea and compost tea the same thing? I am getting confused…
Where can I purchase these ingredients?
Is reverse osmosis water okay
Thank you! This was very informative, I like your very quick soil fact:
1 Tablespoon of garden soil: can contain up to one billion microbes
1 Tablespoon of compost: can contain up to four billion microbes
1 Tablespoon of worm castings: can contain up to six billion to eight billion microbes
But if your trying to make the very best quality "Supercharged Compost Tea", would anyone know the name/ brand of the micro bubbler that the author uses to micro brew and do you buy a 2nd hand Maxima air pump, Elite 308 air pump or do you buy any cheap air pump? The author recommends that anyair pump will work, (the Maxima air pump is no longer in production) and I checked on Ebay and Craigslist and you can find the used Maxima air pump, I think that the Maxima pump, (its a legacy air pump) I checked on line I found another air pump the Elite 308 (it was the model air pump that matched the Maxima's Profile).
Great article, thank you! for sharing important tips on building soil quality. "Grow big or go home",
And hear is a quote that was delivered to me from the email from a Dear Friend who happens to be a senior rancher (that puts a smile on my face every time that I read it).
"The "Delicate Package" arrived yesterday, and I'm now a Worm Rancher again!
The Wriggly Critters settled into their new home in a bed of OLD Stuff, and a fresh supply of new food….
Quite a few of them seemed uncomfortable in their new home, and climbed the walls, apparently seeking new horizons. Not to worry, I handcuffed them suckers and returned them to quarters. I 'spose they'll be happy enough after a coupla days in their new environment.
Good thing I returned them to join their brethern, cuz a BEAUTIFUL, Robin Redbreast came on the scene this morning — it obviously sensed a fabulously delicious feast "On The Table."
Problem is, now I might haftu buy a shotgun to ward off them worm rustler/murderers…
I hope it wont come to that — they've gotta learn to coexist — or maybe not — long's my worms aren't completely eaten before they make the next generation — and they collectively produce enough good, natural soil to promote tomatoe, swiss chard, zucchini, etc. growth without the use of unnatural pesticides, and other Earth-Unfriendly See-Are-A-Pee.
Don't miss out, Boy!”

I have pet rabbits. I heard not to use much of it because of the urine. Could i use rabbit manure instead of bird guano? Thank you!
My worms are great but I have a quick question. I used the worm casting in a sock and made up a 55 gal drum of worm tea with blackstrap molasses, rainwater, and a constant bubblier. Over the last week everything has been great but today the water has turned black with a slight smell to it. Will this harm my plants?
talks too much – get to the point
Super likable dude 😀
Wow overkill all you need are worm castings and molasses
Great video. How much roughly should I use for liquid guano?
YOU USE A LOT OF INGREDIENTS WHICH LEAVES NO PROFIT FOR RESALE.
BUT
THATS OK.
Thank you…love this video. What else can you use instead of worm castings?
Great video! Can it be applied on cactus and succulents? How to reduce the ph value of tea as some plants love being acidic soil?
I don't see anything on my screen when you point over your shoulder. This happens all the time in videos I watch when the people are referring some other video. Maybe it's my ad blocker, I don't know, but I didn't get that link to the simple tea recipe.
Great video!
What is bird guano??? Thank u
This was so great thank u so much …
How often can u apply to soil? As a foliage spray?
Why add humid acid if one makes humid acid by pouring water thru compost?
? Worms are herbivores right??
How long do I bubble to dechlorinate?
