light harvest method
I fished out another 2 gallons of compost from the worm bin. I used the light harvesting method again. Works like a charm, just a little tedious.
I moved what’s left of the compost all the way to the right of the bin. I’ll get to that last bit of compost another time.
Then I added more bedding and pre-compost. Pre-compost is kitchen scraps I throw in a rubbermaid bin with holes. The kitchen scraps start to decompose, then I add them to the bin.
I’m planning on making some worm tea. I’ve never used worm tea, but it’s supposed to make plants grow like wild. I figure it may be a way to stretch the compost I have.
Has anyone made or used worm tea? If you have, leave a comment below and let me know how it went.

I just started brewing worm tea 2 weeks ago to use on the plants I sell in my greenhouse. I’ve started a lot of trays of seeds and sprayed the top with tea. All of them seem to be coming up in record time and no damping off so far. I did one trial with parsley seed – planted 1 tray with no tea spray and 1 with. The 1 sprayed is up and growing – the one without is not up and is covered with white mold-like wisps. I plan to do more trials with tomato plants and will report the results.
Thanks for the input, Jean. Keep us posted. I agree that worm tea is the way to go with seedlings, for both nutrition and disease prevention.
