1. How to raise earthworms at home?

Here are some ways to raise earthworms at home:

1. To breed earthworms at home, you need to choose suitable breeding tools. It is recommended to use a simple tool box, such as old shoe boxes, fruit plastic boxes, etc., as long as you use them according to local conditions.

2. How to control temperature and humidity? As for the control of temperature and humidity, it is best to have a thermometer and a hygrometer to measure. If not, pay attention to sun protection in summer and heat preservation in winter, and the soil should not be too wet.

3. What kind of food is better for breeding earthworms (mainly soil)? Similarly, just adapt to local conditions. For example, leftover vegetable leaves, apple cores, sugarcane residues, etc. are very good. In addition, dried tea residues are also good.

4. The breeding container can be flower pots, plastic pots and other waste ceramics. When breeding in pots, the feed height is required to be 3/4 of the pot height, and the breeding quantity is preferably 100-200 fish per pot. Box and basket breeding method: The materials for making boxes and baskets include wood, bamboo, vitex, rattan, plastic, etc., but wooden and bamboo boxes and baskets are easily affected by moisture and rot, so it is best to use plastic.

5. There are several main points to note: (1) The breeding box should be kept away from light, because earthworms are afraid of light. (2) Some sand can be added to the soil to increase the looseness and air permeability of the soil.

6. When raising earthworms, earthworms often escape. The reasons are as follows: First, the feed is not completely fermented and mature, and it is still fermenting during the raising process. This not only increases the temperature of the raising bed, but also produces toxic gases, causing the earthworms to feel uncomfortable and escape.

Second, the earthworms may escape if the feeding period is too long, the density of earthworms is too high, there is a lack of feed, and there is too much earthworm manure. Third, the humidity in the feeding bed is too high or too dry, which may also cause earthworms to escape. When feeding, if you can create a good environment for the above specific situations, earthworms will not escape.

2. How to raise earthworms at home?

I remember that when I was a kid, I often went fishing by the river. At that time, bait was not particularly abundant. My family lived in the countryside. According to the experience of the older generation, we basically used local materials and found some earthworms as bait. When I was fishing for earthworms with my friends, we mainly looked for them under dark and humid places or in relatively fertile soil.

How to raise earthworms at home? According to my experience, there are mainly the following aspects:

1. Because most families now live in high-rise buildings, it is difficult to find a large piece of open space. First, you need to find a box as a container, such as a foam box, wooden box, etc.

2. Put some soil in the box, and you can add some sand appropriately to increase the looseness of the soil and the water retention, because earthworms like to live in dark and humid places.

3. You can add some dead leaves, vegetable leaves, or other easily rotten things into the soil to increase the nutritional value of the soil.

4. Place the earthworms in the soil, add some moisture appropriately, sprinkle some water regularly to keep the soil moist.

5. Finally, place the container and earthworms in a dark place.

The above are the basic operations on how to raise earthworms at home. Of course, you can also check the details on the Internet. Since the Internet is relatively developed now, you can also buy some nutritious soil for earthworm growth or earthworm life online.

Finally, I wish you success in breeding. Thank you.
