CATDOLL: Which one is better, cow dung that has been used to raise earthworms or cow dung that has not been used to raise earthworms (Video)

1. Which is better, wild earthworm castings or artificially cultivated earthworm castings? What are the differences?

The earthworm manure sold as a commodity is sifted from artificially cultivated earthworms. Wild earthworm manure cannot be collected. Artificially cultivated earthworms also imitate the wild environment and are fed with cow dung and crop straw. The nutritional content is the same.

2. Comparison of fertility between earthworm manure and cow dung?

Worm manure has great fertility. Cows eat plants and grasses, while earthworms mainly eat rotten plants or other organic matter. They eat rotten plants, including plant roots, leaves, vegetable leaves, fruits, etc. When feeding, you need to wait until the food is fully rotten before feeding. Earthworms will not eat fresh, unrotten food.

In the natural environment, earthworms also eat poultry manure and livestock manure, swallowing soil and sand to obtain organic matter, so earthworm manure is a natural organic fertilizer.

3. Is cow dung or chicken dung better for raising earthworms?

Cow manure is better than chicken manure for raising earthworms. Earthworms mainly eat rotten plants, including plant roots, leaves, vegetable leaves, fruits, etc. When feeding, you need to wait until the food is fully decomposed before feeding. Earthworms will not eat fresh, undecomposed food. In the natural environment, earthworms will also eat poultry manure and livestock manure. Earthworms are omnivorous animals. In the natural environment, earthworms mainly eat bacteria in the soil, rotten plant roots and leaves.

4. Which is better, earthworm manure or sheep manure?

Worm castings are good

Worm manure is known as the "king of organic fertilizer".

After fermentation, various organic wastes in nature are decomposed and transformed into nutrients that are beneficial to the earthworm itself or easily utilized by other organisms under the action of protease, lipase, cellulase and amylase in the earthworm digestive system, and become earthworm castings after excretion.

Earthworm manure is a product of nature. It can provide plants with various nutrients needed for growth. It has a very magical effect on plant growth, which is even a little unbelievable.

Earthworm manure is a finely divided substance with a natural earthy smell. It has good air permeability and water retention capacity, which can improve the problem of soil compaction. No matter how much earthworm manure is used, it will not cause fertilizer damage. This is very important. For novices, fertilizer damage is very common, but when using earthworm manure, there is no need to worry about the problem of fertilizer damage.

The organic matter content of earthworm castings can reach 25%-38%, the humus content is 21%-40%, the nitrogen content is 0.95-2.5%, the phosphorus content is 1.1-2.9%, and the potassium content is 0.96-2.2%. It also contains a large amount of crude protein, crude fiber and trace elements such as calcium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper.

Earthworm castings are also rich in various microorganisms, which can not only mineralize complex substances into effective nutrients that are easily absorbed by plants, but also synthesize a series of biologically active substances, such as sugars, amino acids, vitamins, etc. This is a unique property of earthworm castings.

5. Are you confused about whether to save earthworm castings or ferment the soil?

If there is room, we can do both at the same time.

I use a foam box to raise earthworms, with a lid on it and many small holes poked in the lid, so that the earthworms basically cannot crawl out. The production of feces is indeed slow. I use it to consume some kitchen waste, such as fruit peels, soy milk residue, etc. Professional earthworm breeding feeds earthworms directly with cow dung, so the earthworm feces will be a little richer than what we raise ourselves. Soil fermentation is also carried out at the same time.
