Repurposing small, cleaned containers for distributing worm tea.
Making healthy soil for a healthier community: We help divert clean local food scraps from landfills by combining them with plain cardboard and yard compost to create fresh worm castings and a microbe-rich plant probiotic.
These are the little ones doing the heavy lifting.
Plant Probiotic, also known as "Worm Tea," is not a drink, and it's not made out of worms.
Fresh Plant Probiotic is a highly powerful liquid made out of healthy worm castings.
It's packed with healthy microbes to help your plants absorb food and grow better roots-it also acts as a gentle and safe fertilizer.
It can be fed directly to plants, diluted with chlorine-free water (chlorine and chloramine kill the important microbiology).
You can even spray Plant Probiotic "Worm Tea" on leaves to create a safe and living protective barrier of biology that out-competes harmful bacteria and fungi.
1. I compost chemical-free yard waste: grass clippings, leaves, ground up branches, shrub clippings, ripped plain cardboard, and coffee grounds. Then I feed completed compost with clean fruit and vegetable scraps, ground eggshells, biochar, and azomite rock dust to thousands of worms in small, clean batches. It's a tiny operation and I baby the worms.
2. After weeks of worms feasting on their treats, I sift the castings down for bagged sales, harvesting worm cocoons, and brewing Plant Probiotic Worm Tea fresh for immediate use. I brew it very strong at 1 lb of castings per gallon of rainwater.
3. I deliver it fresh for use within 24 to 48 hours in repurposed milk jugs or you can borrow our reusable and refillable buckets — zero waste.
4. Donors get free or discounted soil products in return.
5. You grow healthier, happier plants — naturally!

What goes in:
Chemical-free yard waste, coffee grounds, fruit & veggie scraps, rainwater, biochar, azomite rock dust, , ground eggshells, cardboard bedding.
What comes out:
Here are a bunch of worms in the bedding working hard eating compost-you can also see cocoons, some cardboard shreds, and fine-ground eggshell.

These tiny cocoons can produce several worms each.
