Jerry: If using just Worm Tea and no other types of fertilizer, will orchids planted in predominately bark mixture receive enough nutrients? I presume that regular fertilizers are stopped while using the tea so as not to kill the micro organisms?
Also, I think you mentioned somewhere that small orchids could be placed in a tray and watered all at the same time and the leftover worm tea poured back into a separate container for future use. Is that correct? I know the worm tea has insecticide properties, but is there a danger of spreading viruses? How long does the mixture in a spray bottle or jug last after it's mixed?
Sorry for all these questions, but last of all: If each watering is done with the worm tea, is it necessary to dilute the mixture even further for weekly or even more frequent watering?
