I agree with Donna, people use these terms interchangeably. Note that in terms of dilution 1:10 is usually recommended but that's just a general rule because your worm tea "mother" can change quite a lot in concentration to begin with.

I never need to soak the castings in water as the rain does the same job for me, even though it has a lid, so it all comes out the bottom...
