Where to place worms and how to care for them?
Compost ridge
In warm weather, biohumus production can be organized directly on site, fixing worms on the compost ridge, fenced from all sides with boards, slates or sheet iron. In the summer in the wild you can keep both savages and cultural individuals. With personal subsidized farming, farm animal fertilizer can be a great raw material for feeding worms, but not only fresh, but aged for 6 months.
This method is for those who continue to live in the country or in their own home.
Box, box, worm.
At home, under the "hotbed" you can adapt a variety of containers: a wooden box, a cardboard box, a plastic container. Or buy a handmade rug, made up of three spacious plastic or wooden boxes, tightly stacked with each other.
Clean dry sand will be poured underneath and they will replace it as it is pure. A second box with a mesh bottom was placed over it, where the leaves were laid, the fertile soil, which would feed and re-soil. This "cake" moisturizes and the worm starts. The box is covered with wet burlap that lets in air, but not light.
Worms are fed with food, 2–3 times a week, caterpillars are watered (3-5 ° C) and have been maintained for 20-24 days. When the box is full, a new one is placed in the new one. By 1-2 months, all the worms from the second box, where no one is left, move to the top. The second box will be removed, freed from the finished biohumus and then restored above for a few hours.
With this option, breeding of worms can be done year round, and if the family of lonely friends is small, the "hotbed" can easily be transported from the apartment to the country and back.
