Hey all !
Ive been Vermacomposting for some time now.There is something i cant seem to figure out though.. Making worm tea is great .But how about storing it? or better yet storing castings . Ive read Tea needs to be used with in 48 hours ,and i dont want my castings to dry out? How do you all go about storing castings?

You can't store tea, it will quickly become anaerobic (within a day or two) and start to smell like rotten eggs or worse. That means it is no good for the soil or plant, as anaerobic microbes are best avoided (many produce alcohols and other toxins).

I always just stored store bought castings and humus or compost in the bag that it came in, rolled up, and have no problems keeping it for several months like this. You could store home made vermi/castings in a five gallon bucket or larger if needed; drill small holes in the lid and/or bucket to allow the casting to breath.
