I tell you what though,that daggum bat shit tea ..stinks ! lol Not recommended for indoor use ! lol

What I'd like to do,is to have my own worm farm,to git worm castings from..what do you think of worm shit for use as a fert and tea ? I would like to use it in a regular garden too..I believe that both worm shit and bat shit,have been shown to increase the brix factor,as well,which is an important factor for making weed, vegetables , and fruit,taste sweet..the higher the plant's natural sugars,measured by brix scale,the more pest resistant and disease resistant,the plant is.

Putting a fresh fish,next to the plant,is an interesting idea,but also is best for outdoor growing ! lol

Have a good one...Torog
worm casting is great,,i use it only cuz it is already in my soils but my teacher tought me to use bone and blood meal,,so ever sence his 3 pounder tree,,i have used bone and blood meal,,i believe that in one of those is already worm shit and what nots,, ,,but bat shit has the larva in soil,,even if you think it is steralized,it will come from the soils,,my experience with some of my as i call them students,,after a week or 2 the freaking pests came up out of soil,,that is why a few pot clubs have problems here in ca,bat shit and disease,,cant explain only,,i have seen them from even a steril bag of shit,,but i have used it outdoors cuz i no how to handle the prob,,buy your mixes,,put in wheelbarrow,mix g-natural and wait 2 weeks and then use neem oil,,you will not have a problem. this works indoors as well,,and yes i use fish indoors as well,good luck,,when you get my pkg,youll see how i no that it had no problem,,i do it that way every time,,when it comes back for a second stamp,,i no it has already been checked,,so i put second stamp yesterday,,and mailed it through office,,you will get it by friday,,
