Composting with worms (vermiculture or vermicomposting) is a simple and popular environmentally friendly way to recycle kitchen scraps, organic waste and spoiled or surplus vegetables from your garden. Organic bi-products of this process are worm castings (vermicompost) and (worm tea/juice).

  • I'd like create more worm tea. Is it ok to add water more regularly or is it not recommended?

  • @graciefr I only add water when and if things dry out.. I know of people who add water but one needs to be careful not to drown the worms or to make their environment too wet.. Any extra worn juice produced by doing this will obviously be of a lesser concentration.

  • @daggermail1999 thanks for info :)

  • @TableWolfMusic This is so if the worms don't like something in the food they can go away.

  • Why do you put the food on one side only each week? Why not just cover the whole thing? I'm knew to this. Thanks

  • @justaddworms I'll try the steer crap them :-P

    My bad, I heard the accent and you sounded just like my buddy from Aus, as well as some of my wife's family. Kiwi is far better IMO, no offense to Aussies. You guy's have better gun law's, but I'm an avid shooter. That's what held me back from moving to Aus this year. Have been considering NZ now. Have any room for some System's Engineers with lot's of gunsmithing experience? LOL!

  • @Joe11Blue No I haven't but I do feed our worms plenty of horse manure and they seem to do well with this. By the way I'm not an Aussie, I'm a Kiwi  .... those little islands a bit further south ....

  • @justaddworms Ahh thanks for the reply. I've seen some guys using the worm's in Aquaponics setup's, and I have one setup already, so I will try them in there instead of the dirt garden. I have about 50 cubic yards of Steer Manure as well, but from what I can tell that has to be a gradual composting with the worms. Have you seen any setup's composting manure? Funny thing almost all of my info is coming from Aussies. You guy's have got it together down there.

  • @Joe11Blue I dilute the juice at a 10x1 ratio in a watering can and then pour it around the root zone of my plants veggies etc. No as tiger worms won't survive for any length of time in ones garden. Hopes this helps ... cheers.

  • @justaddworms When using the worm juice, do you just use it like a fish fertilizer by pouring on top of the soil and watering it in, or do you want to mix it into the soil before planting? Do you use the worm's in your garden as well?

  • Great video... Very informative... I was given some tiger worms today (adults & babys) to start making compost, fingers crossed these little guys will do us good..

  • thankz for helping becose we have those worms at school and im in charge of them
