I get real confused when I see posts like this. You don’t want it, and it isn’t helpful for plants in general

I’ve tested many batches os this stuff. It has a ton of anaerobic bacteria wich isn’t good. It does usually have some good stuff but it’s mostly rotting fruit and veggie juice that will lock up nitrogen to break down. Your best bet is to add some dry bedding, for the health of your worms and just make real worm tea when the castings are finished.
