How to feed earthworms

1. Pond construction: When cultivating earthworms, it is necessary to build a feeding pond with a cement bottom and a volume of 0.4 cubic meters. 2. Feed: spread a layer of decomposed mixed feed on the bottom of the pool. 3. Seeding: Put the earthworm seedlings into the feed and let the earthworm drill by itself. 4. Cultivation method: spray water mist into the pond once a day to promote the rapid reproduction of earthworms.

How to breed earthworm 1 and build a pond?

When cultivating earthworms, it is necessary to build a pond in a dark and humid place. A feeding pond with a volume of 0.4 cubic meters can be built with bricks, and the bottom of the feeding pond should be coated with cement to prevent earthworms from escaping. No cement or lime should be coated around the feeding pond to ensure ventilation.

Step 2 put in feed

Earthworms are saprophytes. When cultivating earthworms, it is necessary to mix humus, meat residue, feces, vegetables and bean cakes to make feed, then ferment it in a bright environment, and then spread the decomposed feed on the bottom of the pond, which is beneficial to the reproduction and growth of earthworms.

Step 3 put in seedlings

When cultivating earthworms, put 1000-2000 seedlings in each pond, which can be placed above the feed and let the earthworms drill into the soil by themselves. In addition, the pond should be divided into several small ponds with baffles for easy management, and the hole should be covered with plastic net or barbed wire.

4. Breeding method

Earthworms breathe through the skin. When raising earthworms, if the environment is too dry, their skin will lack moisture and it will be difficult to breathe. It is necessary to spray water mist into the pool once a day to keep the feed moist, and replenish the feed in time after half of the feed is consumed.
