I use vermi-compost in my AACT brewers, about 4 cups per 5 gallons. The leachate you get from the drain on your vermiculture bin(s) is very similar. The brewer simply takes the good microbes from the vermi-compost and creates a "party scene" with plenty of food (molasses, kelp. etc.), water & oxygen. This multiplies their numbers into the billions before they are distributed on the plants & soil. A brew usually takes 24-36 hours.
Man those worms must love this time of year when they get to chow down on garden harvest waste from pulled plants, etc.
