I collect a far amount of liquid from a wormery.

Does it need letting down before using on plants - or just use as is?


I dilute 10cl to a litre of water (if you want to be inaacurate,
increase the water not the juice). Remember that worm juice (I prefer
that term to "leachate") has a shelf life so you should be using it
regularly once production starts. If you're getting juice faster than
you can use it, increasing the ratio of bread type waste to vegetable
feeds them nicely whilst reducing the liquid production. I'm not a fan
of adding cardboard or paper to a wormery.



Thanks - job done. Transplanted courgette's in to the wormery solids at base
of holes - watered in with 10 to 1 solution of the worm juice.
