ABSTRACT. This invention relates to a vermicast tea brewer enhancing fertilizer for application but more particularly, the tool relates to an apparatus for microbiology enrichment with the means of agitation tandem with aeration and circulation of the vermicast tea in the form of vortex. The brewer combines the aeration and agitation process in brewing to enhance or increase the amount of dissolved oxygen that the beneficial microorganisms needed. The agitation by using vortex motion is also essential in terms of equal distribution of the dissolved oxygen throughout the system, thus enhancing the microbial growth as well as uniform distribution of dissolved oxygen throughout the vermicast tea extraction.
