You should mix that leachate with a little of the castings to make worm “tea”. As the leachate could be anaerobic (no oxygen) it’s best to bring oxygen into it for 24 hours and then use on your plants. This explodes the micro-organism populations and can be used as a foliar spray on leaves or as a soil drench. Anyway, I would not use the leachate plain.

brandy – i am so glad you shared this positive story. rebecca shared that she also used a heater. right now i have my bin in a three season porch so i can observe it a bit, for the summer i am thinking that I’d like the bin outside and then i’d bring it into the basement for the winter. my garden here won’t be nearly as big as yours but i am excited to see how it all goes – thanks for the comments.

I have had a worm house for 2 or 3 years now. One year all my friends died due to extreme weather but this past winter we invested in a very small heater to help that situation. This spring I checked out how they were doing and over winter my population went from a few hundred to what I am guessing is millions and now the casting production is so fast! I have a 25′ x 55′ garden that is being fertilized this year by them. Love the worms they are great!
