Sharyn, I got my order in yesterday, this is a sweet deal. I know the shelf life of the tea is about a year. I was so conservative when I first started using it, trying to catch every drop to re-use but I'm seeing that it's lasting forever even with a less conservative approach when watering. So if a little lands elsewhere than back to the recycling bucket, no biggie anymore.

Hi guys,
I just called Carl at Vital Earth and arranged to go pick up some worm tea on Friday. Alittle apprehensive though, but if everyone here has had good results with it and their plants,why not. He said that I should use it once a month and that's enough. We'll see

[Sharyn]

elitebettas: I use the tea once or twice a month for watering and mist about once a week. In between, I use plain water or some with regular orchid fertlizer. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. I've been using the tea since early spring and it's really great stuff - no bugs, nice growth.

Hello guys,
I visited the folks at Our Vital Earth today since it's only about a 40 minute drive away from my home and wanted to get the 2 for 1 special they are running until the 31st of the month. They are very nice people and the worm farm is quite interesting. Anyway, before they took the bottles off the shelf I saw them twisting the caps closed. I asked why. The worm tea when being stored, needs have the cap UNCLOSED, to allow the microbes which are aerobic to "breathe". Also, they are very photosensitive and watering or spraying needs to be done in the evening since the sun will destroy the microbes. I tried to tell them the rationale of not watering in the evening to no avail, lol. Just thought I would pass this information on. If you have any questions please call 1-800-237-4780 to speak to anyone at OVE

I ask them about the two for one deal after I placed the order. They called and said there was no deal at this time? I was kind of shocked but didn't say much. Did receive 8oz. bottle look forward to trying it out.

okay so i still dont really understand.... what is the deal with worm tea? how do u use it? why should u use it? what does it help? etc..... i hear it mentioned alot but am not really sure about what the deal is..... im still new and any info is appreciated

[martinvermillion]

I now realize why vital earth thought I was crazy! The dates on the post are one year to the day, almost apart. I probably should pay more attention!!! Worm Tea is new to me also but alot of people swear by it. It's like a wonder tonic for plants. If you check back I'll let you know how it worked for me.

I was confused when I started reading this post as well since I was at OVE Monday picking up 55 gallons of Worn Tea and we discussed last years special.

For those wanting instructions on Worm Tea
OrchidsAmore

I have been using it every 14 days for the last year and for the last three months mixed with Essentials and Companion. Here are the results in photos
OrchidsAmore

I will add a few more photos in the coming weeks since the growth on the Den Cathy Beck just not want to stop. 20 of 50 went into bud this month and the peak blooming season is October-Feb.

I will see about getting the forum a 2 for 1 special.

Hope you can come through Jerry! I have been waiting for about six months for one! I got two gallons last year and sold half to a friend here locally. Big Mistake. I should hae purchased FOUR gallons and THEN sold half to my friend!

[martinvermillion]

WOW!!! this stuff really works only used a few day's already a difference. Sure wish I'd gotten a gallon. That special sounds mighty good right now! Wonderful when sprayed on bloom's the folks are super nice too!!!

[Brooke]

What kind of difference are you seeing in two days? What did the blooms do after the spray - bigger? better color?

Orchids tend to be very slow in responding to any change, good or bad so I'm quite curious what they did and how you applied the worm tea.

I didn't even notice the date on the post. Good thing someone caught it.
