Your videos and website are helping me to bring my urban farming dreams to new levels. I'd love to get a copy of your book, A Guide To Worm Farming. Still avail??
I hope to share these ideas with my kids, grandkids and maybe even in schools. I have a LOT to learn. Thx

I'm Batman!

Gidday Steven. If you place it in an airtight container it will stay fresh for a few weeks even up to a month. The nutrients will be there, but the microbes will slowly die off.

Hey Marty, I know the vid is old, but I was wondering if there was any way of storing the worm tea?

Hey, I just get mine from the local pet store, go for a mid range dual air. Dual pumps twice as much oxygen.

any idea what brand the air pump was the airation was really good?

Worms

Thanx I was gonna put red wigglers and The worm I forgot the name europe

Yes, that's a great question. Yes, you can, but make sure that they are composting worms and not earthworms,,,as it's the composters that do most of the work!

Can you put two different kinds of warms togather?

If you are making a compost brew to build up the microbes then yes you need to oxygenate and add un-sulphured Molasses with castings. Mostly I just pass un-chlorinated straight through and collect the tea that it makes. Works great and yes keeps the ants at bay. Happy Gardening Marty

Marty, do you just pass water through your entire worm farm to make your compost tea? I have always heard to take the castings out to make the tea, if you can pour straight through the farm, a cooler with a spigot would work great for holding the containers and keeping ants at bay.

Please get in touch with me so I can give you your free Worm Farming Ebook that you won from your great comment! Cheers Marty

Congratulations to Jeansieguy and Bedum2m You have both WON a copy of "The Beginners Guide to Starting a Worm Farm. I will be in contact shortly!

This is the second part to this question. I would remove the worms and start again and try to get the base right so it doesn't get soggy. I have been using coconut fibre as its a renewable resource. If your system doesn't allow for free drainage soak about once a week. Also, only feed the worms when the food is starting to disappear. I hope this helps. I will do a video about this soon to help other with the same problem.

This can be a concern for many home worm farmers. Lots of people actually give up because of just what you are saying. Mostly it's because the base they use isn't a material that has good drainage. To be able to pour water trough every few days you need a system that has a base of peat, coconut fibre or mushroom compost. There also needs to be lots of drainage holes at the bottom of the worm farm. Take a look at the many kits available and you will see what I mean.

Hi and thanks for the question. When using the water collected that drains through the worm farm I make a 50-50 mix. All of other mixes such as compost tea mixes using worm castings are 10 to 1 Cheers Marty
