How to Brew Worm Casting Tea | 50 Gallon Compost Tea Brewer

casting4growth.com
This video shows everything needed and step by step instructions on how to brew 50 gallons of Worm Casting Tea with our 55 gallon Compost Tea Brewer that can treat up to 10 acres of plant life for only $2 dollars per acre. This size worm casting brew is perfect for golf course professionals, managers of athletic fields, farmers, landscape professionals and anyone who has more than an acre of plant life to grow or maintain.
These are the materials required to brew the worm casting tea
1. C4G aerator
2. 55 Gallon Drum
3. 30 lb of Casting4growth Worm Castings
4. 12 oz of Unsulphured Molasses -- the size normally sold. It must be unsulphured!
5. Oil-less air compressor
6. Air hose
7. 2 short bungee cords
8. 400 Micron Filter to remove particles from tea when transferring to sprayer
The most important piece is the Casting 4 Growth Aerator, heavy duty PVC made to fit inside a standard 55 gallon drum and covers the entire bottom.
Step 1: Place the brewing container in a shady covering like the inside of a barn or garage. This prevents exposure to direct sunlight during the brewing process.
Step 2: Begin filling container with clean un-chlorinated water. If only chlorinated water is available, run the air compressor for at least 30 minutes after filling.
Step 3: Place Aerator Assembly in container and hook the two bungee cords from the container sides to the central loop at the top of the aerator pole. This will hold the aerator steady and firm to the container bottom once air is applied.
Step 4: Next, connect the oil-less air compressor to the male air fitting at the top of the aerator pole. A pressure of 15-20 psi is recommended. The aerator is extremely tough and will not be harmed if the pressure is higher, but greater than 20 psi is not beneficial.
Step 5: Mix the molasses (10-12 oz of unsulphured) in a separate bucket with un-chlorinated water until fully dissolved. Remember, you can get un-chlorinated water from the off gassed container.
Step 6: Pour the dissolved molasses into the brewer.
Step 7: Pour the casting around the top of the container in a slow smooth movement. It is best to break up clumps if found, but it is not required. If the air psi is set higher during this time (20 psi), the castings will stay in suspension longer and the reproduction of the microbial life in the casting can start immediately. However, the worm tea will come out fine if the psi is not set higher.
Worm Casting Tea provides the plants and grasses you are treating with an immediately available food source while at the same time providing protection from disease, insects and nematodes. Worm Tea is able to do all of the things just stated because of the density and diversity of microbial life provided by the worm. There have been numerous studies by universities and governments around the world that continue to find worm tea and worm castings are an all in one solution for the issues faced when growing or maintaining any plant life.
A program that uses worm castings and worm tea will change the sterile soil you may be dealing with into a healthy sustainable soil that will no longer require the harmful chemicals that are so common today but are being outlawed in many states.

Thanks for the video guys. Not only does this video promote your product but it also helps folks like me, that are interested in getting into this natural alternative fertilization method, learn more about the process. I have purchased the items listed separately and you do provide a value here. Being a relatively new technology I encourage you to keep going! The word and education on this process needs to be shared as far and as wide as possible. Anyone trying is NEVER a joke, haters are!!.

[@EricSmith9000]

Pretty smart with the bungies. Thanks!

[@anantken]

Thanks for the nice demonstration. How often the air compressor starts and how loud it is.

[@Casting4Growth]

Thank Rich

[@Casting4Growth]

Thank you

[@tomislavefremovski1029]

Well done video, very good describe all process, but I have one question: Can I save leftover compost tea what if it's happened that I brew too much and if it is that possible can put in plastic bottles for future use. Thanks

[@TheGreenEnergyHome]

what do you use to get the tea out of the barrel and sprayed on to the plants..is there a pump and sprayer to buy?

[@Casting4Growth]

Our aerator is made from schedule 80 PVC and the fittings we use are not something that can be purchased in any store we have them specially made. 5 gallons of tea per acre is number that we started using based on research from Dr. Ingham and over the past 3 years we have continued using this recommendation based on the outstanding results seen by our customers who include professional athletic fields, golf courses, university grounds keepers and home owners.

For lol I just have a big air machine drop 6 large airstones and it's good to go nothing fancy lol

[@Ultimatefitness360]

Can we use this pump for 50 gallon tea??

[@pf1950]

how would I inoculate bio char with this I have about 150 gallons char

[@CannaHeaven]

Is there a brand of air compressor you would recommend? what brand or type did you use in this video? I'm getting a c4g 55gal aerator and need to know what else to buy.

[@Casting4Growth]

We have great success with the Porter Cable 6 gallon pancake compressor from Home Depot. Its pretty inexpensive and easy to find. Here is a link so you can take a look. www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-6-Gal-150-psi-Oil-Free-Pancake-Compressor-C2002/203162815

[@CannaHeaven]

Casting4Growth Thanks for the quick reply, now that I know what kind of compressor you use, I did some research and the Husky 20-Gal. Portable Air Compressor for it's high user rating and I can get more uses out of it. Will definitely be ordering in june.

[@dannybgarner]

What is the application rate for 50 gallons?

[@Casting4Growth]

The application rate is 5 gallons per acre. So 50 gallons of worm tea can treat up to 10 acres.

[@JC-wp5tb]

why keep the compost barrow clean

[@ViviniLoveYou]

hmmm ....... natural

[@SteezyOtis]

It's amazing how people can cheaply rig together some cheap parts and expect to sell it to people. That aerator shouldn't be more that $20 and that's pushing it. I just bout 4 ft of flexible bubble tube for $8. These guys have no idea the complexity of what their trying to do and should at least hire a soil biologist to help them if their serious about this. The foam does not mean that microbial life is multiplying and 55 gallons of the best tea is not enough for ten acres. These guys are a joke
