Compost Tea
Our worms seem to be having a good time in
their worm box, though the cold makes them a bit sluggish.
We put the box under the sink where there's a bit of drip, so water
slowly works its way through the composting leaves and organic matter
to collect in our bottom container. The drip keeps the worms
nicely damp and has also made us quite a bit of delicious compost
tea.
Since I started watering our lemon tree and tomato with the compost
tea, they've both been growing much faster.
Yay for compost tea!

Compost Tea
This is the first time that I've been to your site and I started reading everything and it's all so interesting. In fact just yesterday I was thinking I wanted to try the compost tea idea but didn't know how to go about it. I've been thinking about doing a worm box but I'm a little scared of it. Where do you keep your box. Would it be too cold if I kept them in a garage?
