This has most likely been covered somewhere on RIU already, multiple times.
the breakdown of EWC (like most compost, not all EWC is of the same quality)
they contain an approx NPK ratio of 5-5-3 or 1.6-1.6-1 or 1-1-.5 based on what they are fed etc
when made into a Aerated Compost Tea the nutrients become water soluble and available to the plant. the water that comes out of the other end of a worm farm is also highly dense in microbial life, and a gentle NPK ratio.
holds a general Ph of 7.
contains the above macros as well as micros (calcium, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt, borax, iron, carbon, and humic acids)
idk if any of this insight will help newbies to organics but have seen this common theme come up in soil based threads and many are unsure what EWC does, and how it is available to the plants etc.
as a top dress it takes more time to leach into the soil via the top waterings, and breaks down slower compared to the tea, both methods have their place. <3
happy growing

they’ve been around a long while. It’s cheap for me and the stuff just feels rich like you want. Results are consistent. They even have a flower doo now I want to try but just the straight up Worm Doo is gold.
