Black Gold - Compost Tea

Magic Mama has worms!

Well, they live in her basement anyway. The red wigglers eat vegetable scraps and leave a nice, rich gift in return. We call them "castings", others might use a descriptive 4-letter word. Magic Mama makes a tea from the castings which is used as a magical, organic fertilizer to create healthy soil.

House plants deplete the soil in the pot, no need to purchase expensive and potentially dangerous chemicals to feed those plants; just let the worms do the work! They take care of your compost AND nourish your garden.

You can easily create a worm compost in your own home, they don't take up much room, they're quiet roommates, and if you take care of them properly, they don't stink.
