[0002] Earthworms are soft and juicy mollusks with a protein content of 70%. In recent years, artificial breeding of earthworms has developed greatly as a new business. It can be used as a common Chinese medicinal material, as well as a protein feed for livestock, poultry, fish, etc. Earthworms can also be used to improve soil and cultivate soil fertility. They can also process urban organic waste, turning waste into fertilizer, eliminating environmental pollution caused by organic waste, etc., and can also produce a large amount of earthworm castings and worm juice.
[0003] The existing earthworm breeding technology adopts the method of breeding earthworms in a breeding basin. During the breeding process, the earthworm breeding basin is inserted into the soil. Food residues and earthworms can be placed in the breeding basin. The earthworms can convert these organic substances into nutritious worm juice. The worm juice flows out from the through holes at the bottom or side wall of the breeding basin and infiltrates into the surrounding soil, thereby increasing the moisture and organic matter in the soil. However, the existing earthworm breeding basin cannot collect worm juice. The worm juice will directly infiltrate into the soil to fertilize the soil. The infiltration amount of worm juice into the soil is uncontrollable. Too little infiltration will lead to insufficient soil fertility, and too much infiltration will lead to excessive fertility and waste. In addition, after the earthworms convert all the organic substances into worm juice, they will drill into the surrounding soil from the holes at the side wall or bottom of the breeding basin, making it difficult to collect the earthworms for reuse as feed or medicinal materials.
