CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Where can earthworms be found?

1. Where can earthworms be found?

Earthworms can be found in soft, fertile, sunny and moist soil.

Earthworms live in the soil and feed on soil. They like to live in fertile, soft soil that is not in the sun. They are more common in spring and early summer and live in shallow soil. They usually like to come out of the soil at night and go back into the soil after daybreak.

According to the living habits of earthworms, earthworms can usually be dug up in the mud in the vegetable garden in spring.

In summer, you must find moist, fertile soil that is not exposed to the sun in the early summer, preferably in the morning, to dig up earthworms. In the hot summer, earthworms hide deep in the soft soil, making it very difficult to dig up earthworms.

In autumn, you can only find earthworms in places that are sheltered from the wind, have soft and fertile soil, and have deep soil. Earthworms are more difficult to dig than in spring and early summer.

It is almost impossible to dig earthworms in the wild in winter.

Nowadays, as there are more people fishing, earthworms are artificially cultivated in various places. Earthworms can be bought almost all year round.

2. How to dig earthworms in winter

1. Watering capture method: earthworms are afraid of stagnant water. You can use watering method to capture earthworms when they come out of holes. You can also capture them in paddy fields during spring ploughing.

2. Pile trapping method: Pile the fermented feed in the place where earthworms are to be lured, such as the edge of the field or the vegetable garden. The pile should be 30-40 cm high, 40-50 cm wide, and no limit on the length. Rainbow worms will gather after 3-5 days of pile-up. If 50% soil is added to the mixed fermentation feed, the trapping effect will be better.

3. Digging method: Use a tillage rake to dig the soil to catch the fish. The method is simple, but the effect is poor. This method is suitable for small-scale breeding.

Living habits

The activity temperature of earthworms is 5-30℃, they enter a dormant state at 0-5℃ and die below 0℃. The optimum temperature is around 20-27℃, which is also the optimum temperature for earthworm cocoon eggs. They stop growing above 32℃ and die above 40℃.

Earthworms breathe by relying on oxygen diffused into the soil from the atmosphere. The better the soil is ventilated, the more vigorous their metabolism is. Not only do they produce more cocoons, but their maturity period is also shortened.

Earthworms are negatively phototactic, especially avoiding strong sunlight, blue light and ultraviolet rays, and tend to move towards weak light. This is why earthworms come out of their burrows on damp mornings. The toxic effect of sunlight on earthworms is mainly due to the ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight.

1. Digging method: Choose a place with rich humus, fertile, moist and loose soil, such as a vegetable garden, and use a shovel to turn the soil and collect.

2. Watering method. Earthworms are afraid of water. If you water the fields where there are a lot of earthworms, the earthworms will quickly come out of the soil.

3. Picking method: Earthworms like to live in dark environments. In late spring, when it rains at night, you can go to the edge of the field at 3-4 o'clock in the morning and pick them up with a flashlight.

4. Trapping method: Earthworms like to eat fresh feed. We pile fermented feed on the edge of the field where there are more earthworms. After 3-5 days, we can use a shovel to turn it over and collect it.

Find a place with earthworm castings, it is easy to dig

Digging with hands

3. Where can I dig red earthworms in Baoding? If you know, I would be grateful.

You can dig up red worms in Dongfeng Park. They are sold in fishing tackle shops for 3 yuan a box. They are a bit more expensive.

4. Where can I find earthworms? Go fishing

I also like fishing, especially wild fishing, but there are not many resources. Earthworms are known as universal baits, suitable for almost all freshwater fish (but I have also encountered fish ponds that do not eat earthworms and only recognize the feed bait in the fish pond).

Earthworms like shade and coolness, and feed on grass roots and decayed food, so they mostly accumulate at tree roots, lawns, garbage dumps, and moist but waterless environments. Therefore, after it rains, earthworms may crawl out of the soil and onto relatively dry roads and stone surfaces. It is recommended that you dig in the soil layer of the above environments with a small shovel, or turn over stones to dig, so that you have a greater chance of finding earthworms.

Tips: In the above environment, look for small holes and earthworm castings (small spiral strips) on the ground. Digging around these places can increase the chances.

Suggestion: If you use earthworms frequently, go to a fishing tackle store and buy a bag of good quality, large earthworms. Go home and use large flower pots, fruit peels and grass roots to raise them, let them reproduce and produce, and you will have an endless supply of fish bait.

Note: Before going on a long trip, put the earthworms in the refrigerator (refrigerated, not frozen) overnight. When you go out the next day and arrive at the fishing spot, the earthworms will still be alive and kicking.

Hope you can adopt it! Please give me an adoption number. Thank you.
