Last Saturday was a wet dreary day and I had made extra Worm Wine for my gardens and yards, so I left White Rock Local Market and went home to put some Worm Wine on my yard. I had seen a small amount of stress--browning leaves amongst the St. Augustine and wanted to help it suppress any fungal issues from all this rain and never ending string of gray days. You can imagine all the drivers who slowed down to see what NUT was out pouring something on their yard in the middle of a driving rain--'crazy gardeners!', I am sure they muttered. They probably thought I had been drinking Worm Wine (I wouldn't try it). Last spring, when we got so much rain, many of us on our block had brown patch from too much moisture. Some neighbors had been on vacation and left sprinklers on while we were getting so much rain--they had patches of black mold. I applied Worm Wine to our yard and my nearest neighbor's yard and the brown patch quickly went away. Those beneficial microbes really went to battle against those bad fungi! Our yard perked up after Saturday's application, but as I am writing this the rain is pouring down, again. We really need some sunshine, but I will be happy to see those 90s go away for another 9-10 months. I never complain about rain--wouldn't mind if it spread itself out a little bit though!

We have a silver maple at the end of it's lifespan that we are taking down in the next few weeks. We took it's sister tree out last fall and replaced it with a Bur Oak. My husband put new sod in where the old tree was removed, and after a week or so, it looked horrible. Pale yellow and dieing. I convinced my husband to allow me to put Worm Wine on the sod and it was green and growing within 2 days. You can't tell where it was now. I thought the Bur Oak would not produce acorns this year, from the stress of being planted last fall. I was happy to find quite a few acorns amidst it's leaves in the last week or two.
You can tell the remaining silver maple tree has roots decomposing, as the grass nearby is yellowing (wanting nitrogen the decomposition takes up). As soon as it comes down and we put a new tree in and sod over old tree stump, you can bet some Worm Wine will be applied.
Our community gardeners have had great success using it to stop powdery mildew on Squash and Cucumber too. I really have been quite surprised at how many things the Worm Wine helps. I hope it helps you too!
