What are the common earthworm farming models?

The earthworm is also called Dilong, Qushan and so on. It is a hermaphroditic animal with a great many varieties, and some varieties have now been introduced as special farming projects. So, what are the common earthworm farming models? Let's take a look together!

1. Ecological farming

The most common forms of ecological farming are farming among trees, farming in fields and farming in trenches. We generally choose a plot with relatively fertile soil that is also close to a water source for easy irrigation, because earthworms are better suited to growing in a moist and fertile environment. After choosing the land, we need to dig a series of trenches among the trees or in the field, generally about 40 cm wide and 1 cm deep, then put organic rotten fertilizer such as livestock manure into the trenches, then cover it with a thin layer of soil, and finally put the earthworms in to raise them. The farming site must be kept moist often, but there should not be too much water either, otherwise the earthworms will stop growing, stay that same size the whole time, and eventually die.

2. Three-dimensional farming

Three-dimensional farming is divided into many kinds, including stacked box farming, louver box farming, jar farming, multi-layer cement rack farming, nylon mesh bed rack farming and so on, but the most commonly used now is multi-layer cement rack farming. This kind of three-dimensional farming has the lowest cost and at the same time the highest benefit. The only bad point is that the usable space is limited, because the space on each layer has to be that large, and some places in the room cannot all be used, so for three-dimensional farming we can use multiple three-dimensional methods for farming, which can both save costs and at the same time improve efficiency.

3. Mixed farming of earthworms and snakes

Mixed farming of earthworms and snakes is also a relatively common farming model, and it is very popular, because its farming benefit will be much higher than farming earthworms alone. Secondly, the living environments of earthworms and snakes are similar to begin with, so we can also save part of the cost. The only thing is that mixed farming of earthworms and snakes needs to be layered. Its mixed farming does not mean letting them live on the same plane; there needs to be a partition layer between them, so that the growth of the snakes is not affected, and at the same time the snake venom will not poison the earthworms.

4. Greenhouse farming

Greenhouses are very popular now. Whether in the planting industry or the farming industry, many need to use greenhouse technology, so that the normal growth of plants and animals can be guaranteed to a certain extent. Therefore, farming earthworms in greenhouses is also a relatively common model. We can use greenhouses for greenhouse farming of earthworms, which can speed up the growth rate of the earthworms and improve work efficiency. Also, the cost of greenhouse farming is very low, so a lot of cost can be saved.

The above are several common models of earthworm farming. I hope they can help you!
