<p>Hi Growzay,</p>
<p>This distinction between worm tea and leachate is questionable. It depends on what happened to it since it left the worm. If a worm lives in the grow medium and relieves himself which part is "leachate" and which "worm tea"? So it depends on whether it was collected and sat around anaerobicly in containers. </p>
<p>About seaweed exstract; i remember Sylvia's post that Maxi Crop with iron could be dicey in AP cuz of the iron. </p>

If you have some really hardy greedy dirt plants (like bananas) the leachate might be find for dumping around them. Otherwise the brewed tea from finished castings is probably better.
