CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What container to use for earthworms (What container is good for earthworms)

1. How to raise earthworms at home?

1. Container: When raising earthworms at home, you need to prepare old washbasins or old plastic boxes as breeding containers.

2. Soil: Mix the silt excavated from the river and the humus soil in the flower bed to make the cultivation medium.

3. Planting seedlings: Place the earthworm seedlings in a box and cover them with straw mats to block out light.

4. Maintenance: Spray water on the soil every 3-5 days to prevent the earthworms' body surface from drying out.

2. Can earthworms be raised in egg trays?

Can

1. Container: There are no high requirements for earthworm breeding containers. For example, wooden boxes, flower pots, plastic boxes, buckets, washbasins and other containers can be used to raise earthworms, but the best is a wooden container because it can better maintain soil moisture.

2. Soil: Earthworms have very strict requirements on the soil. In rural areas, you can use rotten straw, weeds, cow and horse manure, etc. In cities, you can collect some plant leaves and slowly ferment and rot them. In addition, earthworms cannot survive in strong acid or strong alkaline soils.

3. Feeding: The food sources of earthworms are very wide. For example, vegetable leaves, rotten apples, watermelon peels, tea residues, sugarcane residues, etc. in the kitchen trash can are all the best feed for earthworms. In addition, you should also pay attention to watering to keep the soil moist.

To sum up, you can raise earthworms at home using wooden boxes, flower pots, plastic boxes, buckets, washbasins and other containers. The soil can be rotten straw, leaves, weeds, cow and horse manure, etc. The feed can be vegetable leaves, rotten apples, watermelon peels, tea residues, sugarcane residues, etc. You only need to pay a little attention to basically keep the earthworms alive.

1 The best container is a wooden box. I feel that wooden boxes are still the best for breeding. Other containers such as flower pots, plastic boxes and anything else that can be used are also OK, but there must be a small hole at the bottom for water to flow out.

2. The nutrient soil I currently use is rotten cow dung and rough cardboard. In rural areas, it is best to use rotten crop straw, weeds, mule and horse dung, etc. that have turned into black soil. If it is difficult to find in the city, you can only collect some plant leaves yourself and ferment them slowly to make them rot. Note that the nutrient soil must be soft.

3 Earthworms have a wide variety of food. I currently use rough cardboard, on which I smear waste cooking oil, even waste oil in the oil storage box of the kitchen range hood, and apple peels, carrot peels, etc. In addition, I was surprised to find that the sediment from the kitchen pot washing water is very good. After observation, the sediment from the cooking pot washing water is better. Of course, other anglers have their own tricks for the ingredients used in earthworm breeding, so I won’t list them one by one here.

4 When starting, first lay some rough cardboard on the bottom and sides of the wooden box. Then put the ingredients and culture soil in. Water thoroughly for the first time. Place a basin under the container to prevent too much water from flowing all over the floor.

5. The choice of earthworms is very important. Don't keep earthworms you dig in the wild. The reproduction rate of good earthworms is about ten times that of ordinary earthworms. On average, each earthworm can reproduce one per day, and its vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary earthworms. I chose the Daping No. 2 sold in the fishing tackle store, put the earthworms on the nutrient soil, cover it with cardboard, and it will drill into the nutrient soil by itself.

6 Daily feeding: I usually open the lid of the box every 3-5 days to check the feeding of earthworms. In fact, it is mainly to observe the general situation, the humidity of the nutrient soil, the presence of food, the development of earthworms, etc. If I see something inappropriate, I will make timely adjustments. On the one hand, it cultivates personal interest, and on the other hand, it is mainly to summarize management experience.

7. Remember that earthworms are living animals. They need certain environmental conditions for their development and reproduction. Once the environmental conditions are met, you will have an inexhaustible supply of top-quality bait for wild fishing in a few months. Generally, feed them in large quantities once a month. If you feed them in small quantities, you can also feed them once a week or two weeks. Observe them every three to five days and keep them hydrated. If you find earthworms escaping, it is either because they are short of food and need to be fed, or because there is too much water and humidity.

8. It is best to place the breeding box in the bathroom or balcony in the shade and avoid sunlight. Keep the appearance clean so that your family will not be dissatisfied. You can control the amount of water you add. It is better to add more rather than less. Too much water will flow away, and too little will dry it out!

4. What kind of flower pot is best for raising earthworms?

When planting flowers and raising earthworms, it is generally best to use garden soil and put it in a ceramic pot.

5. What kind of container is best for raising earthworms?

Earthworms are called "universal fishing bait". Fresh earthworms contain more than 20% protein, and all kinds of fish love to eat them. Cultivation and reproduction methods of red earthworms: 1. Environmental requirements. A slightly acidic environment, soft soil, not very sticky, moderate dryness and wetness, rich in humus, and some weeds and rotten leaves. Cool and dark in summer, no freezing in winter, keep warm. 2. Reproduction method. Use a wooden box, clay pot, iron bucket or other container with holes at the bottom, fill it with an appropriate amount of soil, put the collected or purchased red earthworms into the container, and cover it with soil. Use the remaining porridge, rice washing water, noodle soup, fruit peels or rotten fruits, rice bran, bran, tofu dregs, etc. as feed and mix them into the soil. If the soil is not fertile, you can add some cow dung and chicken manure appropriately.

3. Cultivating earthworms can also make them have various smells. If you want fragrant earthworms, you can soak the Chinese medicine naphthalene in water, pour it on a piece of yellow cardboard, and then cover the box or basin with earthworms with the paper, pour it once a day for about 3 weeks. If you want other smells, you can also follow these methods.

4. How to get the earthworms. Before getting the earthworms (e.g. the night before), pour some rice washing water, leftover water, and light salt water into the soil, and then cover it with straw or soaked horse manure paper. The next day, the earthworms will crawl to the surface of the soil, and you can get them by uncovering the straw paper. The advantage of doing this is that the soil will not be turned over, which will avoid damaging the earthworms and earthworm eggs.

6. How to raise earthworms in pots?

How to breed earthworms in pots

Pot culture method: The volume is limited, and it can be raised in flower pots, pots, abandoned pottery and other containers. Because the volume of pots and other containers is small. Generally, it is suitable for breeding some small earthworms that are not easy to escape, such as Eisenia fetida, Diptera minor, Heterolithodon umbellata, etc. However, the larger and easy-to-escape earthworms of the genus Pheretima are often not suitable for breeding with this method. Pot culture method is also limited to small-scale breeding. However, it has its advantages, that is, it is simple to breed, easy to care for, and easy to move, making it easy to control temperature and humidity, convenient for observation and statistics, and very suitable for scientific experiments in breeding.

10-70 Eisenia fetida can be raised. The amount of material in the pot depends on the size of the pot and the number of earthworms raised. Commonly used containers include flower pots. However, the feed placed in the pot should not exceed 3/4 of the depth of the pot. Due to the small size of the flower pot, the temperature and humidity in the pot are easily affected by changes in the external environment and produce large changes. The surface soil or feed in the pot is easy to dry, and the temperature is also easy to change. Therefore, when using flower pots for breeding, it is important to ensure ventilation and try to maintain the appropriate temperature and humidity of the soil or feed in the pot. For example, you can cover it with reed curtains, straw, plastic film, etc., and spray water frequently to maintain sufficient humidity. It should also be noted that when choosing pots, cylinders, cans and other containers, you must not use containers that have been used to hold pesticides, fertilizers or other chemicals. So as not to cause the death of earthworms.

7. Is it better to use a foam box or a plastic box to raise earthworms?

It is better to use foam boxes than plastic boxes to raise earthworms as they have better heat preservation effect.

8. What is the correct way to raise earthworms in a plastic bucket?

Take a round plastic bucket with a height of 40-50 cm and a diameter of 30-40 cm, and drill 4-5 small holes with a diameter of about 5 mm at the bottom of the bucket. Then fill it with fine soft clay, preferably about 10 cm away from the mouth of the plastic bucket, so that the earthworms cannot escape. Then prepare a plastic basin with a diameter about 5 cm larger than the diameter of the plastic bucket, and make a mark at 5 cm and 2 cm from the bottom of the basin. Put the plastic bucket into the plastic basin, and then fill the basin with clean water. The water level is at the 5 cm mark, and a simple earthworm breeding equipment is formed. When the soil in the bucket absorbs the water in the basin and becomes moist, dig it loose, and then you can put in the seed earthworms for breeding.

Feeding earthworms: You can use fermented livestock manure, rice straw, corn hearts, sugarcane bagasse, etc. as feed, or directly feed them banana, pear and other fruit peels, vegetable leaves, leftovers, bean dregs, etc.
