RO130031A0 - Farm of earthworms fed and propagated in their natural environment - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a farm of earthworms to be fed and propagated in a natural way for producing humus meant to be used in agriculture as natural fertilizer. According to the invention, the farm is built in a container () with holes which has a lid () with holes and an upper lid (), the container () being filled with vegetal waste, manure or chicken droppings on which the lid () with holes is placed, integral with the upper lid () in their joining area, the gap between the lids () being filled with dry vegetal wastes and cardboard, all this being placed in the soil so that, at the end, the upper side of the minifarm is at least at the ground level, and the vegetal wastes from between the lids () and the nourishment from the container are abundantly wetted upon their embedment in the soil, the earthworms being fed with the content of the container, the reproduction and the egg laying taking place in the space between the lids, the production of the humus being thereby carried out simply and naturally, allowing it to be used in the ecological agriculture, in particular horticulture.

Description

The present invention is used in agriculture.

The cultivation of the rubble is composed of a container with two caps, as shown in the drawings in fig. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The crop is buried almost entirely in the ground, remaining on the surface of the soil only slightly from the top cover, where it is fed and bedded for propagation and growth of the remains. A single landfill with a capacity of 1.5 liters produces the humus needed for at least one square meter of agricultural land.

There are known farms or breeders located on the surface of the earth, in plastic crates or other constructions of wood, concrete or metal, with bedding and food in which an amount of rubble is added. The food is constantly watered to maintain optimum humidity. Also, the food should be constantly aerated, depending on its size, by hand, with forks, shovels or in the cases of large farms, with special machines. Also in these farms are used special equipment for separating the rubble for sale.

In the farm I present, the rams are not added with food and litter, they come from the natural environment, from the land where the farm will be located, feeding and propagating in the same environment. Humus is produced from earthworms directly into the soil, at the roots of plants. This eliminates the watering of the food and the litter in order to maintain the humidity, because the covers keep the optimum humidity as long as the soil is moistened for the development of the plants. Another technical procedure, the aeration of food, is also eliminated.

The ridge cultivation consists of three components, namely a bucket-shaped bucket with holes, a lid with holes and the top lid. Unlike the usual way of growing the rubble, in boxes, boxes or industrially in concrete boxes, on the surface, the container presented in the present invention, is buried in the ground slightly below the level of the soil. in it is placed the favorite food of the rhymes, indicated is the manure, the poultry hen or the vegetal remains, preferably all in dry form. The holes in the container have the role of facilitating the penetration of the waste into the food. Above the container is a lid with holes larger than the top of the container. Above this hole cover is placed the litter, a mixture of plant stalks, leaves, grass, degraded vegetables or debris from cleaning c \ -2 OU - 0 0 7 3 7 o 3-i-2014 vegetables in the kitchen, all under dry form. You can also put cardboard and in the absence of those listed is good. The bedding is moistened until it is considered that the food has sufficient moisture. Then the top cover is placed, making common body with the drilled lid, by joining them. It should be taken into account that the depth at which the three components are buried should not be greater than the total height of the farm, the top of the top cover remaining at ground level or slightly out.

The litter enters the container to feed, and in the space between the two covers where the litter is located, they will find their environment conducive to propagation.

The breeding of naturally fed and propagated rhymes has the following advantages:

- simple and robust construction;

- favors the multiplication of the rams in the space between the covers

- produces humus directly in the soil

- the holes in the container and the lid do not allow penetration of the choruses

- no maintenance or supervision is required

- the food level can be checked at any time

- can be located anywhere in arable land

- largely reduces biotechnologies for composting organic waste

FIG. 3, a magnifying glass view of a portion of the quarry farm at the combination of the 3 components representing:

1. a portion of the hole container

2. a portion of the hole cover

3. a portion of the upper lid

The breeding ground fed and propagated in the natural environment includes a container with holes 1 inserted into the ground, below the level of the soil, loaded with vegetable debris, manure or hen on which the cover with holes 2 is placed which makes common body with the upper cover 3 through their joining. The gap between the two lids is filled with dry vegetable debris, then placed over the container with holes 1, before the vegetable residues between the covers and the food from the container with holes 1 are abundantly watered. The upper cover 3 is covered with earth, up to the ground level, so that the upper part is visible after covering the ground. The size of the mini-farm and the depth at which the container with holes is placed are mainly taken into account. 1. The space between the caps is the area where the mulch and egg laying are produced.

The mode of operation of the miniferm is as follows: after the miniferm is placed in the ground, the rams enter through the container with holes 1, they feed on the food from the inside, taking then the humus necessary to the plants. For propagation the rhymes prefer the sheets formed from dry vegetal debris, especially the spell of plants, cartons, papers, so that for the reproduction the rhymes will go to the space that offers these conditions, respectively the space between the two covers. Most of the remains are found in the soil around the minifarm and in the breeding area, respectively between the two covers. Here is the environment conducive to breeding and laying eggs. Through the holes of the hole cover 2, the rams enter the container with holes 1 to feed. The holes in the container with holes 1 and the lid with holes 2, have the role of entrance and exit gates of the rubble and to stop the attack of the buzzards or mumps. The filling of the food in the container is done by removing the soil around the lid, then lifting both lids together, the food is filled, watering abundantly.

This breeding has all 3 components of cylindrical shape but it can have different shapes and sizes, adding ribs for resistance. It can be constructed of plastics, concrete, metal, etc.

Cultivation of earthworms can be used in agriculture for soil fertilization by producing humus from natural fertilizers and vegetable debris, especially in vegetable growing and flowering. The best result is the quail chick that can be put on the farm as soon as it is collected from the quilt, without damaging the plants or the debris in any way. Because it can be placed anywhere on the ground, it can be used by fishermen for growing and propagating rams.
