How to make your own earthworm box, how to breed earthworms

Here's how to do this: bury the grass in the soil for a few days to make it rotten and rotten, at which point the mud is rich in nutrients that earthworms need.

Put the finished soil in a closed box, pay attention to the box to be placed in a cool and damp place, you can cover the top of the box with a board to prevent it from being eaten by rats.

Put the earthworms dug up in the field into the box and pour the peels of the melons and fruits into them, and moisten the soil with rice washing water to keep the soil moist. Cover with a lid, check regularly and feed.

Note: The soil should not be too wet, and the soil should not be too acidic or alkaline, or there will be gasoline, etc., which will cause earthworms to escape or die.

Burying melons and fruits in the soil makes it easy for earthworms to eat and avoids the smell wafting out after food spoilage.

Make yourself a small rake to make it easy to feed the earthworms.

I put a plastic bag on top to open small holes, bait is casual, bran, soaked paper shell water can be, soil, you are not afraid of freezing your hands in winter, you will change.

Fermented soil or sawn wood is the sawdust after sawing wood, which is used to raise earthworms after fermentation.

Foam box with cake. Fruit shells, cow dung, and leftover bait can be put in.

How do you breed, ground culture and three-dimensional box culture.

1- Ground culture, manure does not need to be fermented, breeding methods, take vegetable garden soil 5 cm thick, cow manure can not exceed 5 cm, cow manure 70% pig or chicken manure 30%, can not exceed 2 cm. Density 1 square meter, earthworm 1 kg.

2- Three-dimensional box culture, no soil is required, the manure must be fermented, the method is 100% cow manure. Cow manure 50% straw 50%. Cow manure 70% pig or chicken manure 30%.

Density 1 square meter, 25 cm, earthworm 5 kg.

Earthworms are cultivated in the following ways:1. Container: When maintaining earthworms, you need to use a water tank or basin to clean and disinfect them.

2. Substrate: Silt, animal manure and humus are used to prepare soil substrate.

3. Seedling: Place the earthworm seedlings in a container with substrate.

4. Maintenance: Cover the soil with straw and water it once a week to make earthworms multiply quickly.

Precautions for earthworm farmingEarthworm farming has relatively high requirements for density, if the breeding density is too small, it will be very undrawable, and the breeding density is too large, and it is easy to get sick, and it is also very difficult to manage, so it is necessary to have a suitable density to achieve normal breeding.

Earthworms need oxygen to grow, but they mainly depend on the oxygen in the soil to survive, so it is necessary to ensure the permeability of the soil. If there is a lack of oxygen in the soil, the earthworms will turn dark brown and crawl slowly, eventually dying. Therefore, in the breeding process, it is also necessary to properly loosen the soil to improve the permeability of the soil, and do not use a hoe, otherwise it will hurt the earthworms.
