What is Worm Tea?
Worm tea is a liquid fertilizer made by steeping worm castings in water. It's packed with beneficial microbes, enzymes, and nutrients that help plants grow stronger and healthier. Using worm tea boosts soil life, improves nutrient uptake, and strengthens plant immunity against pests and diseases. It’s 100% natural, safe for all plants, and helps build rich, living soil over time.
