Hi,
Im vermicasting, composting with worms. I have the Worm Factory,
with 1 tray in operation. I get about a cup of 'worm juice' every
week. Im interested in what the mixure I should use to fight the
fungus on my roses and also to feed my plants.

Thanks.

A number of methods could be used to create an environment where the
fugal infections are outcompetted. Innoculating with micorhyzae and
foliar applications of compost tea, switching to plant based
fertilizers and topdressing soil with your vermicompost would likely
move you in the direction of controlling pathogens without chemicals.
