It is easy to compost your kitchen veggie scraps with redworms (Eisenia fetida)... which will make worm castings that is an excellent fertilizer for your garden soil. READ THIS NOTE: As of the making of this video (9-13-15), I was relatively new to this and in the video... in my hasty enthusiasm... I incorrectly refer to what is correctly known as leachate... by calling it "worm compost tea". I have since learned that "worm compost tea" is produced by way of a process that infuses the worm castings in aerated water... thus creating a TEA. Further... I also recommend using the leachate in your gardens as a soil amendment and I have since learned that this is not always wise as the leachate has not been fully digested by the worms and likely contains toxins (if it smells bad) not good for plants. You can safely use the leachate if it does not smell bad. Just let it sit in a bucket and after a while... days... weeks... the bad smell will evaporate off. When it doesn't smell bad anymore, dilute it, as it is concentrated, and experiment with using it on some plants you don't mind potentially losing until you know what you are doing. SO... rather than take the video down and make a new one with my updated knowledge, I will let this remain as I believe the design of my vermicomposter is a good design. I will, however make another video sometime updating what I have learned.
Say hi to your redworms for me, my fellow Steemians!
