Opinions on 'worm tea'?

It's obvious that worms in the soil are fantastic but is it worth the time and effort collecting and making worm tea?
A quick google search gives me a few answers but I'm not sure how reliable this information is....
Thank you

Worm tea comes from the bottom of a proper worm composter. I'm pretty sure that a special kind of worm is used in those, not earthworms. Edd is our expert on vermiculture although he may be on hiliday at the momemnt. Have a look at this thread:

Oh okay, I'm talking about mixing worm castings/worm poop into water and using it as a fertiliser(I read it in a book), I'll take a look at that link
That would certainly work - worm castings contain good stuff!
