To start, there are many added bonuses to creating a wormery.
One of the bonuses you get is a bi product from the wormery as well as top grade compost or 'Black Gold' as its known.
This bi product is called ' Organic Worm Tea ' It is a liquid feed produced by the worms as they feed. There are a few guidelines to follow concerning this 'liquid gold'.
1) This liquid will collect in the bottom of your Wormery. You can click on the ,Worm City, which is the Amazon product on the right of the post. It is a top selling wormery and also produced in the UK from recycled materials. This wormery is good because it has a larger surface area and multiple trays, surface area is more efficient than depth.
2) The liquid can be drained of from a tap that comes with your wormery. Remember it takes a few months to get your wormery working well so the 'Liquid Gold' or 'Worm Tea' wont be that good to begin with.
3) You should drain this liquid of fairly often as it will stagnate and turn smelly if its left. A good working wormery will never smell bad, if it does there is a problem. It should smell a little earthy but not pungent.
4) As your wormery becomes more stable, as a good environment for your worms then the quality of the liquid will improve, so much so that you can dilute it down with water, up to 10 to 1, as in 10 parts water after your 1st tray is almost complete worm compost, the best compost there is.
So as well as fantastic compost you will have some good liquid feed for indoor and outdoor use.
