Advanced Aerator 15mm Bubble Pipe Details:
The Advanced Aerator lets you replace the air stones supplied with the Advanced Pump Kit with an easy to clean and easy to maintain bubble pipe system.
Air stones need a lot of cleaning and eventually become blocked or break and need replacing.
This easy clean pipe system should last a long time.

Aerated Worm Castings Tea ADVANCED Kit & ADVANCED Aerator
FULL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS:
You get a product info sheet, including an overview of how that option changes brewing, assembly info etc etc.
PLUS AN ADDED BONUS !!
You get Brian’s “Aerated Castings Tea Mini-Guide.”
This guide is only available to people who purchase qualifying Aerated Tea making products from Brian.
The guide goes into making Castings Water Extracts, Non-Aerated Castings Tea (NACT) & Aerated Castings Tea (ACT).
Of course you can make the same products from COMPOST instead of WORM CASTINGS.
It gives you step-by-step instructions, including a handy reference chart for different sized brews, recipes & application rates/areas.
It teaches you about the simplest way to apply Worm Castings in a Water Extract – to the middle ground of Non-Aerated Castings Tea (you probably have everything you need to do NACT !) – to the most sophisticated option of Aerated Castings Tea – and some info on the Upgraded Aerators etc !
Brewing Table:
Suggestion:
Add a container of Zeolite volcanic rock dust to your order.
Zeolite provides surfaces for fungi to grow on.
Amounts to use:
Generally, 1 to 2 cups (1/4-1/2 a litre) of VC is used to brew a batch of Aerated Castings Tea.
The tea is then watered down, generally at least with one part water, or even up to 5 to 10 parts of water.
The batch can be applied to a garden up to 25 metres x 10 metres per the chart above.
Please Note:
When I pack the boxes I try to fit in what I can for you, but it may compact a little during shipping, so may look less than what you order.

VC is very good for plants for a lot of reasons – see this article for details – https://thewormman.com.au/benefits/
Particle/Screen Size:
This VC is a mix of particle sizes under 6.5mm from a rotating trommel harvester.
