Organic Worm Tea fertilizer For
All Your Plants So
Worm Tea Everything!
Although worm tea and compost tea have
been around for some time, they are now beginning to get the
recognition they deserve. In this newsletter, I am going to
start you with some testimonials to get your attention then get
into why they work and how to use them.
Check out our website to read a testimonial
from Don Wagoner, a former purveyor of all sorts of chemicals
to grow and control things:
http://yelmworms.com/Tea Testimonial.htm . Here
are a few more shining examples:
"With the Microb-Brewer, the normally mundane
task of keeping my soil ‘vibrant’ has become one of the few
rewarding pleasures associated with soil management in organic
farming. A key advantage in using compost tea is the
significantly reduced application time over conventional
methods of applying bulk compost. Even more important than the
minimal labor requirements needed are the fact that this
‘aerobic teas’ is the most ‘alive’ solution you can apply to
your crop. Not only have we achieved healthier plants and
higher yields, our fruit tastes as good as nature intended."
Ed Leach, Umpqua Organic Farm, Roseburg, OR
"We have found that compost teas controls
weeds, disease and with added fish fertilizer provides all the
nutrients needed by fescue turf grasses. We have approximately
3 acres of turf. This past summer we were able to skip water
cycles for up to 4 consecutive days. That’s with temperatures
in July in excess of 110F with no signs of stress and full
sun!!! Tom Jaszewski, Las Vegas, NV [Tom is perhaps the
leading horticulturist in Las Vegas whom all leading casino
horticulturists look to for advice.]
"The compost tea used in my vineyard has
worked particularly well. The plants are really healthy and so
is the soil … With the tea, the mildew shows up, hovers, and
goes away. It never builds up enough steam to take over a tea
sprayed area. In the sulfur-sprayed areas, if there’s one to
two percent mold one day, there will be 10 percent the next and
40 percent the day after that." Jeff Wilson, Owner,
Territorial Vineyards & Wine Co., Veneta, OR
"We were looking for a way to suppress turf
grass disease without using fungicides. We’ve seen positive
results from using the tea, and we haven’t used fungicides for
a long time." Troy Russell, Resort Superintendent, Brandon
Dunes Golf Resort, Brandon, OR
How to use worm teas
Always apply teas out of direct sunlight. Use
them straight or dilute them (10:1 is a suggested maximum
dilution rate). A good time for application is before 10 AM and
after 5 PM in the Pacific Northwest. An ideal time is during
light rains, mists, or fog. Additionally, water it in after
application if you can (non-chlorinated water only,
please!)
If a tea stinks, do not use it on your
vegetables as it is demonstrating anaerobic properties and may
contain pathogens. Dr. Ingram suggests you use it on an
undesirable weed bed!
Spray them liberally on the leaves, stems and
surrounding soil. Use them on turf. Use them on clay soil to
begin its transformation to humus. Use them on your flowers
indoors and out and on your other house plants. Use them on
your compost pile to spike the microbial activity and hasten
the compost pile’s decomposition. Inoculate the ground
surrounding your fruit tress. Use them on manure piles that
stink and marvel at how fast the stink goes away! Use them on
the small bucket of kitchen scraps you may have outside of your
house. Worm tea everything!!
A properly brewed worm tea is child, pet, and
wildlife friendly.
