    Default Speed up your worm tea.....

    Typically it takes 48 hours brewing in a good brewer to achieve desired microbe populations, 72 if we are looking to breed protozoa.

    However,

    Mr Tim Wilson AKA The microbe man, has given us a little trick that he has tested and confirms takes 24 hours off of our brew time. So a brew is ready in just 24 hours....

    Step 1.


    Get your water for you tea out to stand 24 hours and stick 450ml worm castings in a tub..

    Step 2.....

    Add 3 heaped tablespoons of wheat bran

    Step 3...

    Stir it up

    Step 4

    Boil a kettle and put 1 teaspoon of mollases in a cup and then fill 3/4 with boiling water and stir...

    Step 5

    Top the cup up with cold water and stir this into the castings/bran until everything is moist but not soaking wet (you will see I used half the cup)

    Step 6

    Cover with a tea towel and when your water has stood 24 hours add this mixture to your brewer with around 300ml of mollases and brew for 24 hours.
