CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much soil should be put in to raise earthworms? (How much soil should be put in to raise earthworms?)

1. How many earthworms are needed to loosen the soil per acre of land?

The amount of earthworms released per acre is about 50,000 to meet the needs of improving the soil in the orchard.

2. How many earthworms are normally present in one square meter of land?

How many earthworms are normally found in one square meter of land?

If the soil is moist, there will be more than a dozen earthworms in one square meter. If the land is dry and has no water and is very hard, there will be no earthworms in such a place and earthworms will not survive here. So it depends on many factors such as the soil quality, moisture content, etc.

OK

3. What are the tips for earthworm breeding techniques?

Tips: Build a site, spread humus and rotten vegetable leaves as nutrients.

Before breeding earthworms, you need to build a suitable site. Generally, you can build a cement pool to breed earthworms. After the breeding pond is built, you also need to pour suitable soil into it. During the breeding process, you need to provide the earthworms with suitable food. It is best to use nutritious foods such as green vegetable leaves and apple cores.

4. What is the density of earthworm manure fertilization?

.

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 a flower pot and plant flowers. No fertilizer is needed within 1 to 2 years...

3.

Put half a cup of earthworm castings 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 formulated nutrient soil, it is generally used in a mixing ratio of 1 part earthworm castings to 3 parts soil.

5. How to raise earthworms in the yard?

Take a household round plastic bucket that is commonly available on the market, about 4-5 decimeters high and 3-4 decimeters in diameter, so that people can lift it after filling it with soil. Use a pistol drill to drill 4-5 small holes with a diameter of about 5 mm at the bottom of the bucket; if you don't have a pistol drill, you can use a nail heated over fire to burn the holes. After completion, put soil in it.

When choosing soil, choose soft clay with small particles, which is conducive to earthworms digging holes. Avoid large, hard and hard sand and stone particles that cannot be crushed.

If you can't tell the difference between clay and sand, you might as well do an experiment. Take a piece of gauze, wrap the soil, put it in water, pinch the gauze a few times, and the decomposed and seeped out is the soil needed for breeding earthworms. Finally, what remains in the gauze and cannot be decomposed is naturally the sand and stone particles.

The amount of soil should be about 10 cm away from the mouth of the plastic bucket and the height should be about 40 cm, so that the earthworms cannot escape.

6. What are the requirements for the soil used for earthworm breeding?

It depends on how you raise them, on the ground or in a three-dimensional box.

1- Ground culture, feces do not need to be fermented, culture method, take 5 cm thick garden soil, cow dung cannot exceed 5 cm, cow dung 70% pig or chicken dung 30%, cannot exceed 2 cm. Density 1 square meter, earthworms 1 kg

2- Three-dimensional box breeding, no soil is needed, the manure must be fermented, the method is, 100% cow manure, 50% cow manure, 50% straw, 70% cow manure, 30% pig or chicken manure. Density 1 square meter, 25 cm, 5 kg earthworms.

7. Do I need to put a few earthworms in the flowerpot when growing flowers?

Never put earthworms! Although earthworms can improve the soil environment, they are not suitable for home flower cultivation. Earthworms have a strong reproductive capacity. If they reproduce too much, they will destroy the root system of the flowers. The roots of the flowers will form "a thousand holes", which is not conducive to the growth of the flowers, and may even make the flowers say goodbye to their owners.

If you want to loosen the soil, the only way is to buy plant soil from the market, add the previous potting soil, mix them together and replant the flowers. Now it is spring, you can change the soil. It is good for the growth of flowers.

8. How to breed earthworms?

1. Breeding methods: generally divided into three methods: ecological breeding, three-dimensional breeding and greenhouse breeding.

Ecological breeding includes arable land breeding, forest land breeding and trench breeding; three-dimensional breeding includes multi-layer cement frame breeding, overlapping breeding box breeding, tank breeding, louvered box breeding and nylon net bed frame breeding; greenhouse breeding is divided into greenhouse breeding and solar greenhouse breeding. Among them, arable land breeding and greenhouse breeding can grow crops such as grain, vegetables and fruit trees at the same time, killing two birds with one stone; three-dimensional breeding can obtain more earthworms; greenhouse breeding has a fast reproduction speed; ecological breeding and greenhouse breeding are low in cost and each has its own advantages. You can choose the breeding method according to your own breeding purpose.

2. Breeding pond setting.

Generally, the depth of the breeding box and ditch should be kept at 30-50 cm, not too deep. The width and length are not limited. It is advisable to use a site with convenient drainage and irrigation. Keep the filling material moist and prohibit water accumulation. You can fill it with decomposed cow dung, pig dung and other manure, or rotten leaves and forest soil. The surface can also be covered with a layer of farm soil.

3. Choose a suitable earthworm species and put in an appropriate amount of earthworm seed.

There are many varieties of earthworms, but they should be selected according to the purpose of breeding. For example, anglers like small earthworms, and if the earthworms are too thick, they will not work. The general price of earthworms is between 3-15 yuan, and 2-3 kilograms can be raised in 1 square meter. Generally, half an acre of land is needed to raise earthworms, and 700-900 kilograms can be raised. The number of earthworms should not be too large, otherwise it will cause the organic matter to be consumed too quickly, and the earthworms will escape after rapid reproduction.

4. The method of feeding.

The feed must be decomposed leaves, grass, fruit, vegetable leaves, kitchen scraps, manure, etc. In order to speed up the fermentation, urea, EM bacteria, etc. can be added for rapid fermentation, and then fish meal and bone meal can be added for feeding. The more times the earthworms are fed, the faster they grow and reproduce.

It is better to feed small amounts of bait multiple times. Generally, the remaining bait should be cleaned up once every 15 days or so. It should not be piled up for a long time, but the remaining bait should not be cleaned up all at once either, so that the earthworms can find their own holes, otherwise it will cause the earthworms to escape.

5. Effectively regulate temperature, humidity and light.

Earthworms are sensitive to temperature, humidity and light, and have very strict requirements. Earthworms prefer warm, humid and cool environments. The breeding site needs to be shaded as necessary, and only needs 2-3 hours of light a day at most. Earthworms grow well in an environment of 20-30℃. In the hot season, you can cover it with a layer of straw to reduce the temperature and increase the humidity; in the cold season, cover it with mulch, straw curtains, arch sheds, etc. to increase the temperature; in spring, summer and autumn, you need to maintain a high soil humidity, preferably without water accumulation. If the surface turns white, you need to spray or water it to ensure the normal growth and feeding of earthworms.

6. Collection method.

Indoor breeding generally uses strong light to drive away earthworms, and the earthworms will gather in the lower layer of the breeding bed or in the container under the screen. In the wild, the food trap method is generally used, and rotten fruits are put in. After 2-3 days, the earthworms will gather in the fruits.
