How To Use Composting Worm Leachate [It's Not Tea Yet]

In my mind, the best organic fertilizer output from a composting worm bin is the "leachate" [NOTE: When I initially made this video, I still thought this was "worm tea," but making that is more involved process. Several commenters set me straight. Thank you commenters, I'm still teachable]. The leachate is still usable as is, with some precautions, most notably, don't splash it on any edibles. It can contain some anaerobic bacteria that can make you sick. If you are careful, it can used in the garden or on non-edible plants as well. Worm castings are amazing too, they just take a lot longer for the worms to produce in quantity.

Here's how to make the 2-bucket composting worm bin seen in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=5S1YWSdJ_PI

Worm tea is in a lot more plentiful supply and you can help produce it by pouring water through your bin to wash nutrients from the castings into your lower collection bin.
