First worm tea brew

I moved into my house around 5 yrs ago and what is now the garden was a piece of land that had been left to the weeds. A couple of years ago i decided to do something about it, like a child i thumbled my way through it, learning as i went - hadn't a clue about plants, composting, fertiliser etc. Anyway we've invested alot of our time, energy and finances in our garden. It's not quite there yet but it's taking shape and we are enjoying learning new things.
I have never used fertilisers but i realise the importance of re-energising the soil so a couple of months ago i bought myself a worm box and started feeding them my house hold scraps to produce castings to feed my soil. Last week i decided to make my own home made fertiliser from the worm castings. It's a simple process. I bought the main accessories from Amazon UK- An air pump and a couple of bottles of sodium free molasses. I used a large plastic dustbin, filled it with water and allowed a couple of days for any chlorine to dissipate. Located the airlines from the pump in the bottom of the bin. Put a couple of tablespoons of molasses into the water. Placed a fine net over the top of the bin so that it was sitting in the water and put the worm casting in the net. I then switched on the air pump which aerates the water. That and the molasses, supposedly increase the microbial bacteria content x 1000. I left it for a couple of days. A large foamy scum appears on the surface of the water which means that it's working. Anyway after 2 days i watered the new brew into the flower beds and basically all over the garden. It's been a week now and there are some noticible improvments in some of the plants that were droopy. There's a noticible growth in a couple of year old trees, but that's probably down to spring growth. Anyway i am going to do do this on a monthly basis because as we get into the summer, the plants here become exhausted with the excessive heat. Next time i might make some comfrey tea if i haven't enough worm casting

 

Looks like your worm tea is starting to work! Hopefully the plants will continue to improve throughout the summer.
