How much do you put in each zip lock bag?(weight)
Why do the bags need air holes?
What do you use to put holes in the bags?
Is there any danger of the bag ripping where the holes are?
I weigh out the vermicompost and sell it by the pound ($1.00 per lb.) I now have people come and bring an open bucket or storage container to take it home. It must have air as it is a living, biologically active material. If you did seal it airtight it would become a slimy stinky mess, (believe me, I know).
Worm tea for sale commercially? I suppose, but don't you lose the benefits quickly? I always use mine next day & tell friends who I give it to do the same. I suppose that you'd still have some benefit, but I'd hate to miss out on adding all those little organisms.
I'd offer that it might be better to sell vermicompost by the pound and give instructions for how they can make their own worm tea.
I take orders from people for gallons of tea,($5.00 a gallon). I usually start it on Thursday afternoon and they pick it up on Saturday to be used within the next 8 hours. They come with 5 gallon paint buckets, kept open with no lid and are thrilled with the tea. Most of those who are buying the vermicompost and tea do not want to make their own but wish to garden organically. That's fine with me as I have the time and the compost
