Second, earthworm box basket feeding method

1. Prepare the box basket: it can be made of wood, bamboo, bauhinia, rattan, plastic, etc. The specifications can be 60cm*30cm*20cm, 60cm*40cm*20cm, 60cm*50cm*20cm, 60cm*20cm*30cm, 60cm*40cm*30cm. There should be drainage and ventilation holes on the bottom and side of the box basket.

2. Loading in the box: the loading should not be too much, so as to avoid poor ventilation; the stacking height is about 16cm, which will not dry the feed and is beneficial to the growth and reproduction of earthworms.

3. Stocking earthworms: choose suitable earthworms to be put in the box basket, such as Daping II, which is not only larger, but also has a longer life span, stronger reproductive ability, and easier to raise.

4. feed: earthworms are omnivorous animals that feed on rotten organic matter. Cow dung, pig manure, straw and weeds can be used as feed when breeding. The feed formula is 100% cow dung, or 50% cow dung, 35% pig manure, 150% straw, or 50% pig manure and 50% straw / weeds. Feed must be fully fermented and ripened so as not to cause earthworms to die.

5. Daily management: the best breeding temperature for earthworms is 20-27 ℃, the air relative humidity should be kept at 70% 80%, and ventilation should be 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes each time. When earthworms reach commodity specifications, large earthworms should be harvested in time.
