I built a worm bin in a 25 gal Rubbermaid Tote, drilled 5/16″ holes only in the sides and ends, NOT the top and bottom. Then installed a PVC drain valve in one end near the base of the unit. Then put a bag of gravel over the drain valve intake, filled with bedding, kitchen waste and worms. I pour a 2 gallon watering can of water over the worm bin contents 2 or 3 times daily and quickly put the can under the spigot and turn on to allow it to drain to the can. PRESTO, worm tea and works very well

For one awful minute I thought you drank the stuff, (we Brits love tea) thank goodness you said it was for fertiliser. Eeek!

Your garden looks great! I started experimenting with compost tea this past year, and it worked out pretty well. There’s a book that has some excellent information about making aerated compost teas called “Teaming With Microbes.” Anyway, thanks for the useful information.
