I would like to say it according to what I have tried to raise. I first started raising earthworms at the end of 2013. At that time, raising earthworms was not that popular. This made it quite difficult to find earthworms, but we were able to find 1 kilogram. The price at that time was almost 2,000 baht per kilo.

The first time was raised in a basin. Drill holes and place them on top of each other in 4 basins. The first night passes and you start to see droppings. At that time, cow dung was used. Buffalo dung in the neighborhood which usually has a lot of soil mixed in I observed that the earthworms ate and gave droppings, but they did not grow much. Later, I studied more: I had to use cow dung, which in my area is hard to find, no one raises it, and it's expensive to find. When I found it, I brought it to try and care for it. Note that the difference is Earthworms eat quickly. and has a larger size It was different from the first time, so we used cow dung as the main raw material. In the production of vermicompost, simply put, we give it to earthworms. Dig the cow dung again. which after going through the process of eating and excreting the earthworms It will cause more microorganisms than the original cow dung. It has good nutrients that vegetable plants need.

After getting milk from cow dung The capital must go into purchasing another basin. Now I think about what to do so that we don't have to invest more. So I ended up raising it on the cement floor. By using cow's excrement to milk Pile on the floor and release It appeared that the results were no different from raising basins.

The advantages of raising fish in a basin are: Able to use space effectively because we can make basin shelves and stack them on multiple levels. But that means we always have to buy more basins if our earthworms expand.

The advantages of raising cement floors are: Easy to take care of, just glide and scoop it into the glider right away. Convenient to spray water But the disadvantage is that we use more space. Because they cannot be stacked together.

Choose what is convenient for you. and suitable for the area

At present, the farm does not soak cow dung. Using dry cow dung poured on the ground. Then use water injection to make the cow dung soft. Soak up as much water as possible for about 2 days, then release the earthworms in, meaning it saves soaking time. Save water for soaking. But it still has the same good results.

The main food for earthworms is the excrement of all herbivorous animals. You can use it all or it can be vegetable scraps from the household. that has no sour taste Can put water in Earthworms will not eat fresh food and must wait for it to decay before the earthworms can come up and decompose the scraps of vegetables and fruits.

Earthworms cannot get rid of food scraps. Absolutely do not add leftover rice. Because earthworms don't eat, they will cause various worms and bad smells.
