Using a liquid organic fertilizer from worms
It’s easy to make and use a natural liquid fertilizer (also known as worm tea). It not only is good for your plants and soil, it is also easy to apply. When compared to the usual manual spreading and plowing of your composting worm solid castings, the liquid fertilizer material can be easily watered (can be used with a foliar spray) on the plant and soil. You can either make one or buy organic fertilizer online. Either way, going all natural is still the best way. So here are a few more facts on liquid organic fertilizer usage.
Fact 1: Liquid organic fertilizer contents
Just
like other organic fertilizer manufacturers, this fertilizer in liquid
form can be created using only worm compost that’s usually harvested
from a composting tumbler.
This brewed worm tea can be combined with worm compost and water
(typically combined with one gallon of water). Of course, worm castings
that are used to make worm tea, are filled with nutrients that came from
organic waste that the worms have consumed earlier.
Fact 2: Your plant and soil booster
Your red worms
castings, a natural fertilizer, is a good liquid booster for plants and
soil. Your vegetables, fruits and soil will definitely benefit from
this nutrient-filled worm tea once in a while; as these aren’t also made
available for them all the time.
Fact 3: Organic weed killer
Using a liquid organic fertilizer (from worm castings) is very useful, as it can be turned into an organic weed killer as well. Gardens with weed problems can use this natural fertilizer to bring back the nutrients that have been lost from this weed attack. Worm tea can also help in reducing weed growth from coming back.Fact 4: All the benefits of compost in a liquid form
Red worms castings that are turned into liquid fertilizers have a lot of beneficial uses for it, apart from being cost-efficient. Aside from being organic and all natural (and also environmental-friendly), it also helps bring back the health of your plants and soil (especially for eroded soil that needs detoxifying). Using worm tea can also increase the following: the fertility of the soil, flowering (develops the growth of fruit and flowers better), pest control, and disease control. Take note that worm tea is chemical free, so it won’t harm your plants and soil. The use of a liquid organic fertilizer will definitely make your plant growth stronger; and will also help improve soil biology.Benefits of Liquid Organic Fertilizer
