Does anyone here use worm tea?

[boxerfan]

I recently began misting my plants and occasionally watering them with worm tea (liquid derived from worm castings in composting). I'm curious if others use this and what your experiences are. Thanks, Lisa

I've started making my own at home and using it in a diluted form on my orchids.

No real notable results yet. . .but one thing I can say with certainty, it's not just great for terrariums with bark substrate. I had a minor fungus explosion that had to be removed by hand. *ack*

Worms and plants have fed off one another in symbiotic harmony for many years. Worms consume dead plant matter, and in doing so, they excrete a natural fertilizer known as castings. That worm castings - actually worm poop - provide food for the plants that, in turn, will eventually become more dead plant matter for the worms.

Worm poop is truly an ideal, natural fertilizer. It is rich in nitrate nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Wikipedia >>> Guano (from the Quechua 'wanu', via Spanish) is the droppings of seabirds, bats, and seals. It is an effective fertilizer and gunpowder ingredient due to its high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen and also its lack of odor. Superphosphate made from guano is used for aerial topdressing. Soil that is deficient in organic matter can be made much more productive by addition of this manure. Guano consists of ammonia, along with uric, phosphoric, oxalic, and carbonic acids, as well as some earth salts and impurities. The high concentration of nitrates also made guano an important strategic commodity.

I never knew

Common Dot, by now you should know weakly, weekly. This means only one bat can poop per weak!
