SOUPERCHARGE (Sic) Your Garden!

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

This is for my friend Linda!

Do you want a garden that will be the envy of the neighborhood?

Make some aerated Worm Tea!   You’ll get professional results for less than $20!

Here’s all you need.

1 Five gallon bucket

4 gallons of water

1 Pound of worm castings

1 airstone

1 cheap aquarium pump

1 piece of aquarium tubing….you only need about 3 feet

A couple heaping tablespoons of molasses (If you use dry molasses, it’s even cheaper)

It’s Easy!

Pour the castings and the molasses into the water. 

Connect one end of the aquarium tubing to the airstone, the other to the aquarium pump.

Lay the airstone in the castings/molasses/water mixture.

Turn on the aquarium pump (External pumps DO NOT go into the water, only the airstone).

Come back 24 hours later!  Use your brew within 24-48 hours.

The beneficial bacteria in the castings will have an absolute feeding frenzy on the sugars in the molasses.

You’ve now increased the beneficial bacteria population expotentially.

HERE’S THE BEST PART!  UNLIKE SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS, YOU CANNOT BURN ANYTHING WITH THIS MIXTURE.  IT’S LOW NITROGEN AND WORKS BY FEEDING YOUR SOIL THE BACTERIA IT NEEDS TO BE IT’S HEALTHIEST!

Cool Beans!

What do you do when you’ve got a ton of castings and a ton of ideas floating around in your head?  Invent stuff of  course ;)   Why not?  I couldn’t find a commercially made holder for my GroPipe, so I invented one.  It works great.  I recently poured some casting tea on this Bean Plant, so we’ll see how it looks in a few days.  My guess is that we’ll be eating a LOT of beans pretty soon!
