Worm tea is made when food scraps such as bananna peels, avocado pits, paper, and other organic materials are processed by a colony of worms. Worms decompose the food scraps and make worm castings or "black gold." This "black gold" can be filtered through an object, such as a paint strainer or a nylon filter. The filter is soaked in aerated, clean water to allow the aerobic, or oxygen-loving bacteria to thrive. You can also leave the castings in the worm bin and pour clean water through the bin to collect a residue that is nearly identical, except it has a combination of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic tea is less odorous than the combination tea. Worm tea should repel insects, is rich in nutrients, and helps produce healthy plants and amazing fruits and vegetables.
