Earthworms - one of the most useful things in the world.In 1959, the United States, in California, scientists breeders managed to get a new look.So there Californian worms.With the new features of this type of worm was easier to raise and ennoble the impoverished soil.
So what have the same distinctive features Californian earthworms?
Firstly, a new species - survivor.These simplest invertebrates live an average of 15 years.This is 4 times more than normal rain "savages."
Secondly, for the season, they multiply rapidly in the natural environment, laying up to 20 pods.In greenhouses reproduction occurs with even greater speed.
But the main advantage - the ability to raise them even in ordinary homes, as the Californian worms is quite calm and did not crawl out of their crates for breeding.
value for nature and agriculture
difficult to find the same necessary and indispensable assistant in the agriculture and farming, the red Californian worm.Him eat a variety of animals, birds and fish.For the first time they began to mass breed in America.Due to this the opportunity to switch to natural, safer methods of soil improvement.However, during in vitro cultivation have been some difficulties associated with a diet of worms.
As it turned out, this kind could only eat one food to which it was originally used.That is why it is recommended to take breeding cocoons.Only such an approach will eliminate the risk of losing an entire population of adults.This is due, primarily, to the fact that the Californian worms are unable to digest the new food, from birth they are "programmed" to a certain diet.
The Californian worms eat?
Like any other subspecies, California powered plant residues.For mass cultivation of constructing chervyatniki where nutrient substrate placed.Basic food - humus or manure.Fresh manure fermentation needs, that is, he must perepret.In addition, the need to ensure that the substrate was always moist, for that it is covered with polyethylene.Californian worms in a short time completely recycle organic waste into manure, leaving a so-called "Five".In fact, it fecalith - valuable fertilizer that contains a lot of nutrients and easily digestible substances.Humus in which they live worms, odorless, so it is possible and home breeding.
breeding conditions in the apartment must take into account temperature.The warmer, the more will be a process of reproduction.The quality of the food to the main substrate can be added to the crushed potato peelings, leftovers from fruit, banana peel, sleeps coffee and tea.One should not forget moistening of the substrate.In the end, you can get a valuable fertilizer, and several times to increase the number of worms on the site.Due to their physiological characteristics of these invertebrate secrete a substance that neutralizes odors and, therefore, it is quite possible dilution of the house.
