And i was wondering had anybody made it ?.
Also did you see a big difference on the growth of your veg plants.
Was it worth the hassle ?

The 'tea' that is usually talked about is the liquid that drops out of the bottom of the bin, diluted at one part to ten of water, or thereabouts. (search under Baccyman's posts!) The utube post does seem to be a huge palaver!

we have a wormery, any liquid(not much) gets diluted with water to a weak tea colour and waters whatever needs it

The youtube video shows one method to make worm casting tea.

The liquid that runs out of the bottom of a wormery is leachate not tea, there is a more detailed post about the difference between leachate & tea here:
