Why is the right application rate so important?
Knowing how to use worm juice effectively is crucial because it maximises plant health and growth. Proper application rates enrich the soil with essential nutrients and beneficial microbes, promoting robust root systems and higher yields. Understanding its use ensures sustainable, eco-friendly gardening, leading to thriving plants and reduced reliance on chemical fertilisers.
Home Gardens
Application Rate:
- 5 - 15 litres per hectare
Dilution (juice to water):
- 50:50 ratio for trees, flowers and plants including fruit and vegetables
- 30:70 ration on delicate plants and bonsais
Lawns
Application Rate:
- Use a 3 litre hose spray pack, filled with undiluted worm juice
- Attach hose water to dilute juice and spray onto lawn
Coverage:
- 1 litre per 15-20m²
Broadacre Use
When should it be applied?
- Apply Worm Solutions on plants during the growth stage for immediate uptake and it coats the seeds at sowing, for greater strike rate.
Dilution (juice to water):
- Mix 15L per ha with water according to the calibration on your sprayer.
The water rate is not critical. It acts as a carrier to distribute 5-15L/ha across plants and/or seed if doing in-furrow fertilisation. But please keep in mind Worm Juice has an accumulative effect unlike synthetics, so the higher the concentrate level the better. Exact dilution rates is really up to the discretion and affordability of the user.
Worm Solutions can be easily adapted to fertigation systems.
On Pasture:
Apply from 5-15L/ha in growth times such as Autumn and Spring or other growth opportunities due to irrigation or seasonal influences. There is no stock withholding period. Animals may even remain in the paddock during spraying.
On Crops:
- Inoculate seed with Worm Solutions at 5-15 L/tonne and/or use in liquid inject systems at 5-15L/ha.
- Apply 5-15L/ha of Worm Solutions at the 3-leaf stage.
- Apply 5-15L/ha as a top dressing if required.
Horticulture/Viticulture/Orchard:
Apply Worm Solutions 3 to 4 times a year up until harvest time with no withholding period.
