1. How to keep red worms alive permanently?

There are many ways to raise red worms. Here I share a simple and practical method of raising red worms using a flower pot.

1. Put a round sponge at the bottom of the flower pot (wet the sponge in water first), put some soil for raising earthworms on the sponge, sprinkle some water on the soil and mix well, not too much water. Spread the purchased red worms on the soil. Get a sponge about 2 cm thick that is as big as the mouth of the flower pot, soak it in water and squeeze it with both hands to make sure there is not too much water in the sponge, and cover the red worms.

2. Place the flower pot in a plastic basin and add three centimeters of water to the plastic basin.

3. Place the plastic basin in a cool and ventilated place, and avoid exposure to the sun; add some water to the plastic basin regularly to keep the water three centimeters deep. In this way, the water in the plastic basin can continuously seep into the bottom of the flower pot, then seep into the sponge at the bottom of the pot, and then seep into the nearby soil through the sponge, so that the soil is always moist, and the red worms can not only survive, but also absorb nutrients in the soil to grow. Regularly soak the sponge covering the red worms in water, squeeze out excess water, and then cover it. When it freezes in winter, place the plastic basin in a non-freezing place indoors to prevent the red worms from freezing to death, and do not cover the flower pot tightly without ventilation to suffocate the red worms.

2. How to eliminate the red worms inside the earthworms?

Expose the soil to the sun for a while

3. When growing Qiu Yin, there are a lot of red bugs in the soil?

This is very simple. Get some small earthworm seeds and then get some rotten leaves, preferably taro leaves or banana leaves, these soft leaves are fine for them to eat.

4. When breeding earthworms with sludge, I found a lot of white and red worms. What are they and how to solve them? Thank you?

The white ones are maggots, they will not affect you and will eat a small amount of mud. The red ones are powder mites, which specialize in eating dead earthworms.

5. How to prevent and treat small red worms when breeding earthworms?

It is easy to produce harmful bacteria and red worms if earthworms are raised with cow dung that has not been fermented. If earthworms are raised with cow dung that has been fermented at high temperature using a fermentation agent such as Jin, no diseases, pests and harmful bacteria will be produced. It will also increase the beneficial microbial flora, creating a more nutritious environment for the earthworms.

6. What should I do if there are many small red worms in it? Is cow dung the base material for raising earthworms?

It is easy to produce harmful bacteria and red worms if earthworms are raised with cow dung that has not been fermented. If earthworms are raised with cow dung that has been fermented at high temperature using a fermentation agent such as Jin, no diseases, pests and harmful bacteria will be produced. It will also increase the beneficial microbial flora, creating a more nutritious environment for the earthworms.

7. Is it okay to put red worms and earthworms in the same box?

You can put them in a box. You can put a layer of wet sponge at the bottom of the earthworm box, put the remaining red worms in it, cover it with a lid and put it in a cool place. If there is no sponge, you can also put a wet paper towel at the bottom of the box; if there are not many red worms left, you can pour them directly into the earthworm box and raise them together with the earthworms, but remember to sprinkle some water on the soil.

If there are a lot of red worms left, you can dig some sludge in the river, find a container, and pour the sludge and red worms into the container. The red worms can be cultivated for a long time without dying and do not need to be fed.

8. How to deal with cow dung that contains a lot of small red worms when raising earthworms?

Use a larger basin of water, put the earthworms, soil food and of course red worms into the basin, pour in more clean water, scoop them out with a sand net (the mesh should be smaller than the red worms) and stir them with your hands, then eat the red worms out and put them into another basin.

It's very quick. It takes at most an hour to finish a plastic bucket.

The mud that has been scooped out of the red lipstick should be filtered as soon as possible (use a larger sand net, I use a pocket made of white plastic sand net used to wrap artificial flowers). The water can be basically filtered out in half a day. The earthworms and their eggs are intact.

9. I raised some earthworms at home to feed animals, but small red spiders (red worms that look like spiders) grew inside them. What should I do?

Root mites mainly feed on plant roots, but also on earthworms. They are difficult to remove. It is recommended to remove them manually by trapping.
