Potting method:
This method is simple and easy to manage, operate and control the feeding conditions. The test data is convenient to determine and suitable for small-scale feeding in laboratory.
The feeding container can be waste ceramics such as flowerpots and plastic pots. When potted, the feeding height should be 3/4 of the height of the pot, and the feeding amount should be 100-200, and the pot is suitable.
Box-basket feeding method:
Boxes and baskets are made of wood, bamboo, Vitex negundo, rattan and plastic. But boxes and baskets made of wood and bamboo are easy to get wet and rot, so it's best to use plastic.
The feeding amount of earthworms is generally 5000- 10000 pieces/box. When the feeding scale is large, three-dimensional boxes can be used for feeding, that is, the boxes are stacked on 45 floors. In order to facilitate portable operation, there should be symmetrical handles on both sides of the box.
Extended data:
Earthworms feed on nutrients and moisture in the soil, so they should change the soil frequently to keep the moisture and nutrients in the soil. It is best to use a wooden basin or other large container, put the earthworm in it, and then add enough soil.
Adding soil should be treated in two ways: one is to raise it for a long time and use earthworms on the spot; The second one is going to catch earthworms, which should be 6? Feed earthworms with loess for 7 days. If the soil is not wet and dry, loosen it by hand and the soil will spread naturally. Every eight? Check every 10 day. If dead and tattered earthworms are found, they must be removed to avoid polluting healthy earthworms.
Pay attention to three defenses: prevent rats from eating, prevent sunlight and prevent rain. Rats like eating earthworms very much. For breathing, containers are usually covered with cloth. If stored improperly, rats will eat hundreds of earthworms overnight. Earthworms are afraid of sunlight, especially exposure.
