How to breed wild earthworms 1, breeding places

When raising wild earthworms, it is necessary to build a breeding pond with red bricks. The length of the breeding pond is 2 meters, the width is 1 meter, and the height is 0.2 meters. The bottom of the feeding pond should be coated with cement to prevent earthworms from escaping into the soil. A partition should be placed in the feeding pond to divide it into several small ponds.

2. Breeding method

Wild earthworms are suitable for living in humus soil. When raising wild earthworms, it is necessary to spread a layer of loose, fertile and humus-rich soil on the breeding pond, and then put earthworms on the soil surface and let them drill into the soil by themselves. In addition, sprinkle water on the soil once a day to keep the soil moist and avoid the death of earthworms due to dehydration.

3. Feeding management

Earthworms are omnivores. When raising wild earthworms, you need to feed them three times a week. You can put rotten Chinese cabbage, spinach, vegetables and animal offal into the soil, and cover the culture pond with a plastic film to keep it warm and moist, which is beneficial to the reproduction and life of earthworms.

4. Suitable environment

Earthworms are not cold-tolerant. When wild earthworms breed, if the ambient temperature is 0-5 degrees, they will enter a dormant state, and if the ambient temperature is lower than 0 degrees, they will die. The environmental temperature should be controlled between 18-28 degrees, which is also the best incubation temperature of earthworm eggs.
