Worm tea and compost

I’ve just got myself a new worm farm. Does anyone use worm tea and compost on their veg?
Not sure of it’s nutrient content (I suppose it depends what you’re feeding the worms) and if I can use it instead of tomato or general purpose feed.
I assume you can use the worm compost as a soil improver.
Thanks

    I use the leachate that comes out of the tap pouring it directly onto plants, I haven't noticed any drastic beneficial results. I find the compost to be very moisture retentive and dark, I add this to the potato trench and tomato buckets in the hope that it aids moisture retention.

    I usually dilute it and water my containers with it and they seem to do ok. I seem to remember Bunny Guinness saying she uses it neat. Take your pick.
