Anyone know what the relative merits of wormery juice are against those of
dilute urine?

I'm guessing that urine essentially just puts a usable form of nitrogen
(urea) into the soil but with little or no Phosphorous or Potassium. So in
normal NPK fertiliser terms it is only N.

What about wormery juice? Is that purely a form of nitrogen or does it
have a better balance of ingredients as a plant fertiliser? Any P or K in
it?

From experimenting the last couple of years, dilute human pee makes an
excellent (but unbalanced) fertiliser for vegetables. Would there be any
additional benefits to setting up a wormery too? No point if it just
creates a nitrogenous feed.

I've never thought of using it a fertiliser, I yust put it on the compost
heap.
