CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much water should be added to the water for earthworm breeding (How much water should be added to the water for earthworm breeding)

1. How to breed earthworms in corn fields?

(1) Choose a field with sufficient water and convenient drainage.

(2) Purchase straw and livestock and poultry manure;

(3) Pile fermentation: Add 2 kg of urea and 100 kg of river mud or field soil to the collected straw and livestock manure per ton, mix them evenly, add fermentation water while piling, and pile them into a rectangle or trapezoid with a height of 1.8-2.2 meters, a width of 2.8-3.2 meters, and an unlimited length. Control the moisture content to 70% or until water is seen flowing out of the ground. Cover the pile with agricultural film after it is piled. The fermentation pile time is 20 days. After the pile is completed, add nutrient appetite-promoting liquid to the material. The nutrient appetite-promoting liquid is mixed with 200 kg of water, 50 kg of wine, 2 kg of urea, 1 kg of EM stock solution, 4 g of saccharin, 5 g of pineapple essence and 60 ml of vinegar essence. The nutrient appetite-promoting liquid should be adjusted to a slightly acidic pH value of 4-5;

(4) In the corn sowing field, the breeding area is 2 meters wide and the walkway is 1 meter wide. The breeding area should be 10 centimeters higher than the walkway. The row spacing and plant spacing of corn in the breeding area are both about 1 meter. Three corns are planted per plant, and 3,500-4,000 corns are planted per mu.

(5) Introducing earthworm seeds: Pile the straw material piled up in step (3) on the breeding bed in step (4), with the width being the same as that of the breeding bed and the height being 20 cm, leaving the space in the middle where there is corn or piling less; evenly place the earthworm seeds on the piled straw material, and the earthworm seeds will quickly enter the material pile to eat, grow and reproduce, and the density of the earthworm seeds is 0.5-1 kg per square meter; if the temperature exceeds 30-35°C, cover the earthworm breeding bed with wheat straw, weeds, etc., and sprinkle water frequently;

(6) Harvesting corn and commercial earthworms: After the corn matures, the corn is harvested and commercial earthworms can also be harvested at the same time. In winter, when the temperature is below 5°C, the commercial earthworms are sold and the seed earthworms are collected and raised for wintering. The land can then be used to sow wheat. After the wheat is harvested next year, the earthworms can be raised in the cornfield again, thus achieving a cycle of production. In the method of raising earthworms on crop straw and interplanting corn, the fermentation water in step (3) is mixed with 150 kg of water and 2 kg of EM stock solution. In the method of raising earthworms on crop straw and interplanting corn, the piled straw material is mixed with 100 kg of river sand, 1-2 kg of Phellodendron chinense powder, 1-2 kg of tangerine peel powder, 1-2 kg of hawthorn charcoal powder, 1-2 kg of mulberry leaf powder and 1-2 kg of Patrinia scabra powder per ton and then piled on the breeding bed in step (4).

2. How to raise earthworms indoors?

When raising it, place it in a cool place and put a little water, about 0.5 cm deep will be enough. Wash it once a day. Don't use tap water. It's best to use overnight water.

It is best to have a larger basin, put more water, and also put some mud, because it lives in the mud. The water for earthworms must be flowing, so that it can be raised well, so it is best to put the basin under the faucet, turn on the faucet, but don't turn it too high, just let it drip slowly. The water temperature should not be too high, preferably not more than 30 degrees. It is very afraid of heat, and overheating will easily cause death.

It is better to add some dead fish or other perishable things to make it more nutritious.

3. How can you raise earthworms to be red and big?

1. Method: There are many ways to breed earthworms, such as breeding in ponds, beds, pots, boxes, baskets, trenches, in gardens and fields, in greenhouses and indoors, etc. Here we introduce bed breeding.

2. Building the bed: It can be built indoors or outdoors. If built outdoors, a simple shed must be built. Generally, the bed is built with straw and stalks. First, cut the straw and stalks into small pieces to spread a layer of dry material 10 to 15 cm thick and 50 cm wide, and then spread 4 to 6 cm thick manure on the dry material. Repeat this 3 to 5 layers, spraying water with a spray bottle after each layer until the water seeps out.

3. Sowing seeds: Place earthworm seeds evenly on the breeding bed, and then put 5 cm of feed. The earthworm seeds can be selected from varieties such as dung earthworms, vegetable earthworms, water earthworms, straw earthworms, etc., which have the characteristics of high weight gain, fast development, fast hatching, large number of cocoons, strong adaptability and long life. The stocking density can be slightly larger in the early stage and can be gradually reduced in the later stage.

4. Feed: You can feed cow dung, or mix cow dung with pig dung and straw, or feed pig dung, straw or weeds. You can also feed vegetable leaves, melon peels, fruits, waste paper, wine dregs, sugar residues, sawdust, etc. Feed 2-3 times a month, each time with a thickness of 10cm. The bait should be fully fermented, fresh and breathable, odorless, soft in texture, and non-sticky.

4. How to feed earthworms with rabbit feces?

1. Rabbit manure must be fermented before it can be used. Fresh rabbit manure was fermented wetly, that is, (fermented with water), and dryly (fermented without water). As a result, all the earthworms in the fresh rabbit manure escaped, while fermented rabbit manure, whether wet or dry fermented, can attract a large number of earthworms to burrow in.

2. Wet fermentation and dry fermentation of rabbit manure each have their own advantages. Dry fermented rabbit manure is not easy to expire and can be stored for a longer time. However, before breeding earthworms, it must be mixed with 70% water and then stored for 6 days. Wet fermented rabbit manure can be used after watering and fermenting for 10 days. It has a fast turnover, so the manure pile takes up less space.

5. How much water do you need to water earthworms every day?

Proper watering is required when raising earthworms: In order to ensure the normal growth of earthworms during the process of breeding earthworms, especially in summer, water should be poured at least once a day. The water must not be polluted and the water flow should not be too large. It must be watered thoroughly so that the upper and lower layers of materials are connected. It is best to water in the morning or evening when the temperature is lower.

Feed field breeding: including planting comfrey, broad beans and other perennial green fodder fields. When breeding, choose a flat fodder field and dig a watering and drainage ditch every 10 rows. Dig a 15-20 cm wide and deep trench between the comfrey rows, apply organic feed in the trench, cover it with about 10 cm of soil, and then put in green earthworms for breeding. Pay attention to irrigation or drainage frequently to keep the soil moisture content at about 30%.

6. What are the techniques for breeding red earthworms?

1. Prepare a 1 cubic meter container, 0.5 cubic meters of fertile soil, and cut wheat straw, corn stalks, rice straw, etc. into 20 cm lengths. 2. Place the container in a cool and dry place, break up the prepared fertile soil, pour it into the bottom of the container, then put dozens of large red earthworms, cover it with a layer of soil, and sprinkle some leftover rice, porridge, and wheat bran on it. Then spread a layer of straw on it, and spread wheat straw and corn stalks on the straw. Then sprinkle water to make it moist, but not too much water, as earthworms like to live in moist soil.

7. What is the dry-wet ratio of earthworms?

About 10 pounds of wet earthworms can weigh one pound when dried. After drying, 10 pounds of earthworms weigh about 0.8-1.4 pounds.

8. How to breed earthworms in large quantities?

1. Planting seeds

After adjusting the humidity of the decomposed feed, spread it 10 cm along the trench dug in the mulberry garden, and then evenly put the eggs and young earthworms, and then put 5 cm of feed on it. The breeding density can be controlled at 2-2.5 kg/m2 or 10,000-15,000/m2. In principle, the density can be slightly higher in the early stage and gradually reduced in the later stage.

2. Shade and protection net

After the earthworm seeds are placed, a layer of plastic mosquito net is first covered on the ditch, and then plastic film, foam board and other rainproof materials are placed on it. This can prevent damage from rats, frogs, etc. and can also prevent rain and keep moisture.

3. Adjustment of temperature and humidity

The best breeding temperature for earthworms is 20-27℃, which is the same as the temperature requirement of silkworms.

In winter, the mulberry garden uses a thickened breeding bed to 40-50 cm, and the bait is covered with wheat straw or rice straw. The dead leaves of the mulberry trees and the cut mulberry branches can also be thickened and laid flat, and then covered with plastic cloth for heat preservation and moisture retention. In winter, when heating the greenhouse and silkworm room, it is necessary to pay attention to the smoke pipe of the stove.

To prevent maggots from getting gas poisoning, in addition, the relative humidity of the air should be maintained at 70%-80%, and ventilation should be carried out 3-4 times a day, 30 minutes each time. In summer, water once a day to cool down the plant in combination with ventilation. Generally, watering once a week is sufficient.

4. Frequent feeding

Remove earthworm castings, take out earthworm cocoons or turn over the feeding beds, and feed them 2-3 times a month, with a thickness of 10 cm each time. Keep the manure fresh and breathable to reduce the chance of earthworms becoming sick due to excessive accumulation of manure and untimely removal of earthworm castings, and create good conditions for the growth of earthworms.

5. Staged feeding

Earthworm breeding can be divided into seed group, breeding group and production group. Feed thinly and turn frequently. Feed twice a month, and the thickness of each feeding is 10 cm. Staged breeding is beneficial to the routine management of maggots, the reproduction and growth of earthworms, and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

6. Processing of earthworm cocoons and seeds

After 20 days of feeding, earthworms will produce a large number of cocoons through cross-breeding. At this time, the breeding earthworms and cocoons can be separated and hatched, and the separated cocoons, manure and earthworm manure mixture can be piled into a new breeding pile, maintaining good temperature and humidity.

When 50% of the earthworm cocoons are hatched, they can be covered with 10 cm of manure on the pile. They will be completely hatched in about 20 days. At this time, the density in the hatching pile is very high, and 50,000 to 60,000 cocoons can be hatched per 1 m2. They should be divided into piles in time and divided into 2-3 parts and covered with new manure for feeding. After routine management, they will all grow up in about 40 days.

The seeds separated from the breeding earthworms are re-mixed and fed with new manure. After 20 days, they can be bred again.

7. Harvest at the right time

The harvesting period of earthworms: Generally, it is carried out when the adult rings are obvious, the growth and development are slow, and the feed utilization rate is reduced. Harvest once a month in summer, and once every 1.5 months in spring and autumn, and replenish feed in time after harvesting.
