What is WISEarth Organics Earthworm Compost Tea and what does it do?
For thousands of years, earthworms have been associated with healthy soils and bountiful crops. This is both a cause and effect relationship. Earthworms are present because there is an ample supply of beneficial microorganisms in the soil and the soil is in good physical condition. Earthworm compost is the result of earthworms eating organic matter and soil microbes and, in the process, excreting castings that contain beneficial microbes, hormones, vitamins, and plant growth factors.
WISEarth Organics uses earthworm castings from earthworms that have been fed organic matter that has been pre-composted using a thermophillic process. That means that the earthworm food has been heated at high temperatures for a specific amount of time. This eliminates pathogens and kills any weed seeds that were in the organic matter. This compost is then fed to the earthworms. The worms eat the composted matter and turn it into a very rich soil additive. These castings are blended with green waste compost to ensure a diverse microbial population.
WISEarth Organics uses this castings/compost blend in its compost tea manufacturing process. The blend is put into a proprietary extractor where it is mixed with water. The soluble solids and much of the microbial population of the blend are extracted into fermentation tanks. In the fermentation tanks a proprietary mix of microbial foods are added. By supplying ample oxygen and food, the microbial population is greatly increased. The WISEarth Organics Earthworm Compost Tea is “brewed” in the fermentation tanks for an extended period of time to ensure the maximum population of a diverse group of beneficial microbes. By utilizing our propriety brewing process the microbial population goes into a stasis condition and remains dormant until they are fed a protein source. This Trade Secret brewing process allows WISEarth Organics Earthworm Compost Tea to become one of the most potent shelf stable Compost Teas on the market and may be stored unopened for up to one year.
