Importance of Composting

Compost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow. Food scraps and yard waste together currently make up more than 28 percent of what we throw away, and should be composted instead. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Some benefits include, it enriches soil, helping retain moisture and suppress plant diseases and pests. Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter to create humus, a rich nutrient-filled material. Reduces methane emissions from landfills and lowers your carbon footprint.

Basic Ingredients Needed for Composting

Browns - This includes materials such as dead leaves, branches, and twigs. Reducing Wasted Food Basics

Greens - This includes materials such as grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, and coffee grounds.

Water - Having the right amount of water, greens, and browns is important for compost development.

Why Worm Farms?

Food waste in our garbage bins costs us all money, wastes our precious natural resources and contributes to climate change as it breaks down in landfills. Worms are natural recyclers that break down the food waste put into the worm farm and produce 10 times richer soil than normal.

Easy Way to Make and Use Your Own Worm Tea 

Worm tea is ultimately the end result of steeping worm castings or vermicompost in water. Worm tea is known mostly for its ability to boost microbiological activity in soil by adding bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and protozoa to the soil. If you are already worm farming and have easy access to worm castings then making worm tea will be a breeze.

Things you will need to make worm tea:

• Porous bag (worm bag, old t-shirt, panty hose, cheese clothe, etc)
• Dechlorinated water such as: rainwater, pond, or distilled water
• Bucket (19 litres will work)
• Worm Castings

First thing you will want to do is add your worm castings to the porous bag of your choice and tie the end of the bag. Place the bag of castings in your container of water and let it steep overnight. In the morning the water should be light brown and that water is your worm tea! After the bag of castings is ‘spent’, you can add it to a potted plant or to your garden because it has finished its tea making job. Ultimately, to make a batch of basic compost tea with worm castings, all you really need to do is soak some vermicompost overnight in water.

Now that you have your worm tea brewed let’s talk about how to use it. If you have a large garden or many house-plants, worm compost tea can be diluted with water to cover more area. You simply take 50% water to 50% worm tea. Put your worm tea in a watering can, however, a sprayer or spray bottle works well too. Just be sure to strain the worm tea before adding it to a spray bottle. Now simply water your house-plants, outdoor potted or hanging plants, and your garden. Cover a whole plant with worm compost tea including the leaves. Many people believe that the beneficial microbes in worm tea help protect plants from diseases.
