Organic Lawn Care

Compost tea brewer

19 years ago

Hey guys,

Been away for about 6 months, time to get the lawn going again. There was a really detailed link on here about how to construct and use a compost tea brewer out of a 5 gallon bucket. I built it last year, and it worked pretty well. The problem is that I lost the instructions on how to brew (time, components to add, etc) Does anyone remember the link I'm talking about. If I remember right, it was a member on here who made the brewer and had a special spot on here with the build instructions. Anyone know how I can find it again?

Thanks

Found it!! I read a post that was made earlier on here and found that it was described in David Hall's website (Deuly's brewer). Does anyone know the quality of Wormworlds castings? Seems like a pretty good price. Next best would be Wiggleworm. Anyone use either of these?

Thanks

The best worm castings that I have purchased came from Ebay. In contrast, I mail ordered some "retail" castings that seemed to be almost too perfect looking and without a whole lot of life to it (from appearance). Of course, you can always try to start you own worm composting setup but I've found that it's just too much work!
