CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How often do you collect the feces of earthworms? (How often do you collect the feces of earthworms?)

1. How many times a year can earthworms be harvested?

Earthworms can be harvested twice a year.

2. How often should earthworms be added to one acre of land to add manure?

It takes about 20 tons of cow dung to make a worm bed for 1 mu of land in the early stage. The worm bed is only made once and does not need to be made again in the future. It is a place for earthworms to get food and also a place for them to live. Therefore, it is very important to make a good worm bed, and then you can plant seedlings. In the future, you can feed 3-5 tons of fresh cow dung every month. The price of cow dung varies from place to place. Some are free, some are dozens of yuan per ton, and some are more than 100 yuan per ton.

3. How often should earthworm castings be collected?

There is no fixed time. Worm manure is a high-quality compound fertilizer because it contains small amounts of potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements.

4. How often do earthworms need to be replaced with cow dung?

This depends on the number of earthworms. Generally, if there are less than 100 earthworms, the cow dung should be replaced every three days, and if there are more than 100 earthworms, the cow dung should be replaced every day or so.

Example of formula for raising earthworms with cow dung:

① 50% cow dung, 50% pulp sludge;

② 100% cow dung or 100% mixture of all livestock dung;

③ 20% each of cow dung, pig dung, and chicken dung, and 40% of rice straw; (Note: Chicken dung must be used to raise maggots or left for more than 1 year before it can be used to raise earthworms, otherwise the earthworms will all escape or die.)

④ Corn stalks or rice straw, peanut stalks, rape stalks, single or mixed 40%, pig manure 60%;

⑤ Horse manure 80%, leaves and rotten grass 20%; ⑥ Pig manure 60%, sawdust 30%, rice straw 10%;

⑦ Organic waste 70%, animal manure 30%; or all waste 100%.

⑧ Various feces 60%, sugarcane bagasse 40%; and so on.

5. Do I need to clean up my earthworms’ feces?

Domestic earthworms need to clean up their feces

In the process of breeding earthworms, new feed will be continuously supplemented and added. Each time it is added, the earthworms' habitat will move up one level. Therefore, after supplementing the feed several times, the earthworm manure must be removed to ensure that the earthworms' living environment is not polluted or less polluted.

6. How often should we feed earthworms?

Feed once every half month

Generally, the higher the temperature, the more food they eat and the more frequently they are fed. Feed them about once every half a month when the temperature is 10-25 degrees.

In addition to paying attention to rain and sun protection, maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity, and feeding in time, you should also pay attention to timely cleaning of earthworm excrement. Replace part of the base material and add another part of new base material about half a year.

7. How to collect earthworm castings?

Collection method: There are many ways to collect earthworm castings. The simplest way is to put the earthworms and castings in a sunny place. Earthworms are afraid of light and will drill downwards. You can then collect the earthworm castings layer by layer.

Uses of Worm Casting

1. When used for fattening in shrimp ponds and fish ponds, apply 100-300 kg per mu.

2. Mix earthworm castings in a ratio of 1:3 (1 part earthworm castings to 3 parts garden soil) in the flowerpot and plant flowers. No fertilizer is needed within 1 to 2 years, and there is no need to repot and change the soil. Or gently mix 1 to 2 cups (about 2 taels) of earthworm castings on the surface of the potting soil every 2 to 3 months.

3. Place half a cup of earthworm manure in each vegetable pit or apply fertilizer once every 1 to 2 months (half a cup per plant or one cup per foot).

4. As a formula nutrient soil, it is generally used in a mixing ratio of 1 part earthworm castings to 3 parts soil.

5. For newly planted and transplanted trees and shrubs, mix 1 part earthworm castings with 3 parts garden soil and apply it throughout the hole. Then plant the plants in the hole, cover with soil and water.

6. New lawn: Gently apply 1 to 2 kilograms of earthworm castings per square meter to the surface soil, then cover the soil where the lawn seeds have been planted with chopped straw and keep it moist.

7. For courts and sports fields, spread 4 catties of earthworm manure evenly on the surface of the lawn for every 10 square meters.

8. Fruits, flowers or sick potted plants: Soak 1 part of earthworm castings in 3 parts of water for more than 24 hours to make a mixture (tea), and apply it to the surface of plants, fruits or flowers.

9. Tea planting: Apply 200-300 grams of tea to the roots of each tree every 2-3 months and cover with soil.

10. For general cash crops, 100-200 kg of fertilizer is applied per mu per crop, and 70% is recommended as base fertilizer and 30% as topdressing. At the same time, the amount of chemical fertilizer can be reduced accordingly at a ratio of 1:1-1:3. After two years of application, the amount of chemical fertilizer can be further reduced. The amount of fertilizer used for fruit trees can be increased to 200-300 kg/mu·year. The amount of flowers can be reduced to about 100 kg/mu·year. The amount of other crops can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the soil fertility (fertility).

11. Fish and shrimp feed: Add earthworm castings at 5% to 30% of the total feed amount

8. How often should you feed earthworms in a bucket?

Answer: Feed once every half a month.

Generally, the higher the temperature, the more food they eat and the more frequently they are fed. Feed them about once every half a month when the temperature is 10-25 degrees.

In addition to paying attention to rain and sun protection, maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity, and feeding in time, you should also pay attention to timely cleaning of earthworm excrement. Replace part of the base material and add another part of new base material about half a year.

9. How much pig manure is consumed every day to raise one acre of earthworms?

One acre of earthworm field can consume about 1 ton of pig manure a day and produce 1 to 1.5 tons of earthworms a year. Each kilogram of earthworms can be sold for 6 to 10 yuan. The economic benefits are indeed considerable!

Earthworms are omnivorous animals. Collect fresh pig manure and pile it up. Spread each pile out and dry it until it is 70% dry. Then add 20% soil, 3% wheat bran and rice bran, and seal the pile tightly with plastic film. The pig manure will be fermented in about 10 days. Then spread the fermented pig manure in the pit and cover it with grass or straw mats to keep it moist. It will be ready in about 15 days.
