I seriously love my indoor earthworm farm, and all the little critters in it
The humate (humic acid ore shale) really adds to the availability of secondary and micronutrients in
the castings. The kelp meal brings in good amounts of K, growth hormones and enzymes that are benefi-
cial, and micronutrients too. The alfalfa brings in great nitrogen, iron, and Triacantanol. Triacantanol is a
growth hormone, and a very special one at that, and as far as I know it is only found in alfalfa. The perlite
is an absolute must have; no doubt about it. It enhances the castings' ability to cycle air throughout and
so enhances the microlife populating the castings; a win-win situation. I actually got a juicer right after
purchasing my worm farm, so I eat healthier now and always have great food scraps for my worms too.
These home worm farms all normally have a spigot at the bottom for collecting leachate worm “tea”
from. You have to watch it if you use my recipe here, because that worm tea is super high in TDS/PPM
(totally dissolved minerals) so it must be diluted and only used occasionally. Don't use this stuff for every
watering or the excess mineral salts will build up in the root zone of your container plants and you will

er I add new worm food, or use it diluted on houseplants and in the veggie gardens.
