The easiest way to raise earthworms

Earthworms, called earthworms in traditional Chinese medicine, are terrestrial burrowing animals belonging to the class of Oligochaeta and the phylum Annelida. There are many species, and more than 160 species are distributed in China. Earthworms are rich in nutrition, with a crude protein content of 12% to 20% in fresh bodies, 60% to 65% in dry bodies, 8% in crude fat, 14% in carbohydrates, and rich in vitamins. They are high-quality live bait for catfish. Let's talk about the simplest way to raise earthworms at home.

Use the discarded mushroom sticks left over from growing mushrooms and black fungus as feed for earthworms. Add some corn silk as a breeding bed for earthworms, and you can also add some straw and tea roots.

If you want to raise earthworms at home, you can first provide a dark, cool, and humid growth environment, prepare moist, fertile, loose soil, use wooden boxes or cardboard boxes, put the prepared soil into the box, and sprinkle water regularly to maintain good humidity. Choose the right earthworm shelter, which should have a long lifespan and strong reproductive ability, place the earthworms in the soil, and also put in decomposed food.

First, find an abandoned flower pot or cut a large plastic bottle. Put in the waste mushroom sticks, corn silk, weeds and other basic materials. Cut the earthworms into many small pieces and put them in. Then put the vase in a cool place. In order to prevent the earthworms from running around and keep it breathable, you can cut a pair of stockings to seal the bottle mouth.

After about a week, the earthworms will have bright bodies, and there are many eggs that have just been laid by earthworms around the corn silk. A small family factory for sustainable production and use of earthworms has been built. It can be dug whenever it is needed, which is safe, hygienic, and economical.
