True Living Organics - The Ultimate Guide to Growing All-Natural Marijuana Indoors (2012)

I seriously love my indoor earthworm farm, and all the little critters in it
The humate (humic acid ore shale) really adds to the availability of secondary and micronutrients
in the castings. The kelp meal brings in good amounts of K, growth hormones and enzymes that are
beneficial, and micronutrients too. The alfalfa brings in great nitrogen, iron, and Triacantanol.
Triacantanol is a growth hormone, and a very special one at that, and as far as I know it is only found
in alfalfa. The perlite is an absolute must have; no doubt about it. It enhances the castings’ ability to
cycle air throughout and so enhances the microlife populating the castings; a win-win situation. I
actually got a juicer right after purchasing my worm farm, so I eat healthier now and always have
great food scraps for my worms too.
These home worm farms all normally have a spigot at the bottom for collecting leachate worm
“tea” from. You have to watch it if you use my recipe here, because that worm tea is super high in
TDS/PPM (totally dissolved minerals) so it must be diluted and only used occasionally. Don’t use
this stuff for every watering or the excess mineral salts will build up in the root zone of your
container plants and you will need to flush them very well in response. I normally just pour my
leachate tea back in the top tray whenever I add new worm food, or use it diluted on houseplants and
in the veggie gardens.
