What are the common models of earthworm farming?

The farming industry is becoming more and more popular now. Many people have given up the nine-to-five life in the city and returned to their hometowns to take up farming. There is also a wide variety of farmed species now, but what is unexpected is that farming earthworms can also make money now, and the economic benefits are actually quite good, so for a time a wave of earthworm farming sprang up. There are now many models of earthworm farming, so today Qinnong Net has summarized several relatively common earthworm farming models for everyone. Let's take a look.

1. Ecological farming

The more common types of ecological farming are forest farming, field farming and trench farming. We generally choose plots with relatively fertile soil, and they must be close to a water source for convenient irrigation, because earthworms are more suited to growing in moist and fertile environments. After choosing the land, we need to dig trenches one by one in the forest or field, generally about 40 cm wide and 1 cm deep, then put organic decomposed fertilizer such as livestock manure into the trenches, then cover them with a thin layer of soil, and finally we can 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 types, including overlapping 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 downside is that the usable space is limited, because the space on each layer has to be that large, and some parts of the room cannot all be used, so for three-dimensional farming we can adopt multiple three-dimensional methods for farming. In this way we 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 benefits will be much higher than farming earthworms alone. Secondly, the living environments of earthworms and snakes are already quite similar, 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 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 ensured 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 earthworms and improve work efficiency. Also, the cost of greenhouse farming is very low, so a lot of cost can be saved.
