Winery “the best grapes we had all year”

“Last year was super tough because we didn’t have much of a winter. So things started to bud out in February and we even got a little late frost. So it was pretty tough, most of my vineyard’s production was way down. 

These two guys (Joe and Dennis) who were using VermisTerra tea, they were right where they were last year and the fruit was Awesome. They were beautiful. 

It wasn’t just me and my employees. We were processing it and they went thru the crusher, de-stemmer, and they said ‘This is the prettiest stuff we’ve seen so far’. And it was. It was the best stuff we had all year. Better than my stuff. I think definitely the worm tea has something to do with it. I’ve actually started doing some foliar spray with it this year.”

Skeptic has double harvest, no horn worms

“I’ve been growing tomatoes my whole life: heirlooms, cherries and beef steaks. I’m a skeptic, but I used worm tea and got the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. I got probably double the usual harvest or more. I also would get horn worms every year but didn’t have any this year!

Our hibiscus usually has white flies and after using the worm tea every three weeks I have incredible flowers and not a white fly at all. Lastly, my Christmas cactus which I’ve been babying for 2 years wasn’t doing anything. After giving it VermisTerra tea, now every leaf has two new leaves on it.”

Huge Rhubarb, astonishing tomato and strawberries

Check out this video featuring harvesting big rhubarb from Misilla’s channel: Learn To Grow.  She said a lot of her viewers are shocked at how huge her rhubarb gets!

“For the past three years, I’ve been using only worm castings and Vermisterra nutrient tea to amend our soil and feed our plants. Our plants have become healthier, more lush and bigger since! There are beneficial microbes and fungi in the worm castings which help break down organic matter that feeds the soil and plants. The humus from the worm castings retain nutrients, microbes and moisture while plant hormones and enzymes assist in plant growth and overall health making plants less susceptible to pests and diseases. We’ve also seen astonishing results with our tomato and strawberry plants!”

-Misilla De Llana, Learn to Grow

The Best Year – Healthier Vines, Less Pests, 26 BRIX

Dennis Erickson, owner of Erickson’s Vines, Fallbrook CA tells us about the changes to his vineyard after applying VermisTerra tea and castings. He no longer finds any “red blotch” leaves, much healthier appearance, there are less pests problems, one vine produced grapes for the first time in 5 years, and 26 BRIX quality wine grapes. The winery are very pleased with his grapes.

 

Watch: Erickson’s Vines (Part 1) The Best Year – Healthier Vines, Less Pests, 26 BRIX

Uncle Steve talks to Dennis about lab numbers vs organic numbers, letting nature work by building up the organic matter and healthy soil. He compares what it was like growing crops using chemicals vulnerable to disease and ground pests versus growing after discovering worm castings. He saw longer shelf life on his vegetables, and release salt in the soil. Uncle Steve suggests using VermisTerra with less fertilizers.

Carmen Gispert Phd and viticulture advisor visits the vineyard to hear about Dennis’ results and the possibility of setting up trials and research.

BRIX – A measure of the amount of sugar in the juice of wine grapes. Grapes with 26 BRIX would yield dry wine with 14.5% alcohol, which is a typical alcohol percentage in good California wine.

VermisTerra as Alternative to Fumigation – ROI, and Value of Vermisterra

Agronomist Peter Viss,  shares about Vermisterra, a “biological wonder”, what makes it special, what problems it may fix. He uses it to help farmers substitute for fumigation, aerate soil, mitigate salt, provide strength to trees, and keep irrigation lines clean. Peter explains how to use VermisTerra as a standalone product or to compliment an existing program.

Why haven’t we heard of VermisTerra?
Something so different, hard to explain and people are afraid because it’s too fantastic. Everything it claims to be and more, and create models to think thru it. No one else has been able to produce it.

Specific examples:
– Worm castings and tea as substitute for chemical fumigation in almond orchards
– Nematode count goes from high to none
– Great to help farmers fix specific problems or maximize profit

Larger Edamame Pods

This year we planted 30 plots of edamame, planting them in two batches. After using the tea, it improved the salt levels in the soil, promoted fertilizer efficiency, and also greatly reduced pests and diseases! The most, most, most important thing is that the pods are significantly larger than the ones from fields that did not receive tea, and the output is still increasing. We recommend using VermisTerra tea. Photos: Smaller edamame pod grown without VermisTerra tea vs larger pod grown with VermisTerra tea. – Mr. Su, Edamame Farm Owner in Chiayi County, Taiwan
