It surely will make your plants grow. Keep in mind that if you are using raw leachate (what you call worm juice in your earlier posts), you are 'playing with fire'. Many use this with…"

Hydroponics Curacao replied to Hydroponics Curacao's discussion Worm juice"If I pour it again over the bin again, it will immediately come back out through the drainage holes.
Then I will start my new hydroponics system with it. "
TCLynx replied to Hydroponics Curacao's discussion Worm juice"It is debatable as to how useful leachate from a worm bin is. Now if you are getting a large amount of liquid dripping out the bottom of the bin then you may be watering it more than necessary but seeing as the bin can drain then it probably…"

I know what worm tea is. You have to make that yourself. But what I have on the picture there is what we call Leachate. "
TCLynx replied to Hydroponics Curacao's discussion Worm juice"You probably don't need to water your worm big nearly so much. The juice that drips out the bottom of a worm bin is not the same as "worm tea" and it may or may not be useful in the garden depending on what you have been putting…"

And the water then comes out through the drainage holes below. I've put a bin below to capture the worm juice. Now I see this water in the bin below. Is this the worm juice maybe?…See More

Build a simple raft system in just a few minutes
Hydroponics is an easy way to grow your own food. It can be made very small and put anywhere you want. It reduces work, and you don’t have to water your plants, since that happens automatically. That means that you save more time with watering plants, and you save more water because you keep using the same water over and over.
