This is not compost tea. It's just liquid worm castings, that's all.
Compost tea uses compost, an aerator, water and sometimes other ingredients like root stimulant. The tea is brewed by pumping air into the mixture using the aerator for up to 24 hours before its ready for use.
ok this is awesome...newer to me than red wiggles worm bins..so basically its pretty advanced stuff + duuh why didnt i think of that... now,...is kombucha tea/essiac te..is that like worm tea for humans??? what can we drink that would boostus from the energy of micro organisms??
Not to rain on the parade, and i bet this stuff does work well, but......
With a true compost tea, you take your best compost, throw it in a bucket with blackstrap molasses and bubble it with an air pump for 12-24 hours.
What you are trying to do is to knock the microorganisms that are on your compost with air, and then multiply them by providing the molasses as an energy source.
The final product is not full of nutrients, but microorganisms. And they are what rule the garden.
dancidelics, there are TWO varieties of compost tea. Brewed (what you describe) and Steeped, which requires no addition of molasses, bubblers etc. Brewed tea was produced in the early 1970's. Steeped tea predates brewed tea by over 1,500 years. Both are true teas and are fantastic for organic gardens. :)

Just to let you know that is not Compost Tea, That is watered done leachate. Compost Tea is brewed under strict conditions(Source, Food Stock, Aeration, Temp) and test via a Microscope.
I agree, But it still works. I have 2 grape plants and only watered 1 with the leachate and the other with plain water and it made a huge difference..Thanks for the comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I am about to go move up to the hills and I am trying to get as many ideas about green living as possible everything from hunting and fishing to collecting rain water..I want to say thank you for taking the time to make these very informative videos.
Man...That makes me happy!! Thanks for saying that.
Moving to the hills right now is probably the best thing you could do with the way things are right now.......Get yourself the solar panel system from my other video...You will not regret it!!!!!!!! Thanks ........ Rick.

Simple and great idea guys!

what your draining from your bin is called lecheate..

Aztecs used compost tea in their hydroponic or "Chinampas" gardens. Compost tea goes a long way in history with great results!
