Organic Worm Casting Tea for Aquaponics

Ingredients and equipment:

1. 1 cup FF Portable Farms® Worm Castings which is 100% organic and supplies a natural source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and iron for your plants.
2. 10 cups of water from your aquarium or your fish tank. Use tap water only when it has been treated with Vitamin C to remove the chlorine.
3. A bucket that holds 14 cups of water (make sure the bucket has had no chemicals in it in prior usages).
4. Let a kitchen blender to do the work to mix and aerate the worm casting tea.
5. Use a wire mesh strainer (mesh strainer works better than a spaghetti colander) or a cloth (cheese cloth or old hosiery) to line the strainer (the tea has to pass through your sprayers nozzle so make sure the filter is smaller then the particles in the brewed tea, so strain well). If the worm casting tea is not well strained, it will clog up your sprayer.

Process:

1. Pour four to five cups of water which has been taken from your total of 10 cups into a kitchen blender  (this process is tough on blenders, so it’s best to buy a cheap one to use only for this type of work) and put the lid on before you blend.
2. Turn on the blender and let it run for about a minute at a relatively high speed to entrain air into the water oxygenating it.
3. Remove the lid and then carefully add the one cup of FF Portable Farms® Worm Castings.
4. Put back the lid back on the blender and run it at full speed for one to two minutes, turn off and then let the mixture sit for 2-4 hours in the blender.
5. Set up the strainer with the cloth liner to drain into the large bucket with the rest of the water.
6. Very slowly and carefully pour the mixture through the strainer/cloth into the bucket with the remaining water. The drainage gets slower and slower so you may want to stop and change filters to speed up the process.
7. Stop pouring when the heavier remains start to flow out of the blender.
8. Stir the worm casting tea thoroughly.
9. Pour the resulting liquid into sprayer. Note, the color of the Worm Casting Tea can be VERY black.
10. Now you can spray your plants on the top and underside of leaves.
11. Use all of the mixture within a day. It may start to ferment if you leave it in the sprayer longer than one day.
12. BIG BENEFIT: FF Worm Casting Tea can be made in HOURS not days!

Note: Use the remaining casting residue left in the strainer cloth and blender on your indoor or outdoor plants, or your yard, at the base of a plant or tree. DO NOT PUT LEFT-OVER WORM CASTING RESIDUE INTO IN YOUR AQUAPONICS GROW TRAY.
