The process

An old pillowcase makes a useful worm casting "tea bag".

A day before, prefill your bucket with tap water.

Once your water has rested for 12 to 24 hours, fill your nylon stocking or woven bag with 5 to 6 cups of worm castings.

Allow the worm castings to steep in the water for 24 hours.

Then tie the bag tightly, making certain that all of the worm castings are well contained.

Now, drop the bag with your worm castings into your water and give it a quick stir.
