AI Technical Summary
When existing earthworm breeding beds humidify the soil, insufficient water spray leads to slow infiltration speed. Too much water spray leads to water accumulation on the upper side of the soil, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of earthworms.
A earthworm breeding device is designed to drive the soil for cultivating earthworms to rotate, and water is evenly sprayed onto the soil using drainage pipes and spray head systems. The water enters the soil along the through holes on the seepage layer and the cylinder, thereby achieving humidification.
By rotating the soil, it is possible to facilitate water infiltration, achieve uniform humidification of the soil, improve the growth environment of earthworms, and promote the healthy growth of earthworms.
