I was wondering if anyone has used living soil
earthworm castings tea.What results?
The tea seems to work well in germination .
I was wondering if anyone has used the stuff as
foliar spray or drench?
Thanks for any input.

ED....outstanding tea can be made from earthworm castings. This is called vermiculture. Go to: http://www.soilfoodweb.com/sfi_html/02_approach/c_01_why.html
Another site you may like to read about tea on is North Country Organics. I just purchased the Biti Bobulator for the reasons you will read about.

Your carefully made and properly applied tea is even better than the compost or worm castings you have taken it from.

This is pretty amazing stuff. You go there and read. Ending up with aerobic tea seems to be the direction to go and applying in imeadiately to your patch is the trick.
Commercial makers can not provide tea of this quality because they can not maintain the high levels of living bacteria in their soups or teas. You can...in your back yard.
