So I've decided to go organic and I'm building a pair of bio reactors To brew teas. I've got some nice compost that I dropped 2k red wigglers a while back. I'll be using the bulk of this to amend my raised beds but I'll be keeping some to brew with and I'm sure I'll be looking for a good space in my yard to create a new one.

What I'm planning on brewing with, Wormcasting, compost, molasses and fish hydrolysate and maybe some kelp meal.
any input would be nice.

It's, grass, all the leaves off of my tree, tomato vines, Seweed, grass ground aspen animal bedding, eggshells, garden scraps like leaves from my brussel sprouts and so on. I pee on it on occasion, coffee grounds. It was about 1.5 cubic yards and hot composted until it was .5 cubic yard and I added 2k red wigglers . You can't pull a handful without having several worms I your hand. They're also breeding.

The pile is open to ground and the lower 6 inches is full of nite crawlers.

Very nice setup. I want to do this but on a smaller scale - I bubble my teas in an 18 gal bin- do you use up all the tea in those barrels in a day or do you keep them brewing indefinately?

I'm basically brewing a batch and using it all right after. I'm sure I'll end up having to brew a batch every other day when the plants get big but as for right now I'm bascially doing a batch a week and watering all the herb as well as my vegetable garden. I'm also starting to water my yard with the stuff.
