Of course, fishing, as a way to enjoy your time, requires careful preliminary preparation, and the most important thing in preparing for fishing is the choice of bait. It is clear that the best bait is not the one that was bought in a fishing store, but the one that I made (raised) by my own efforts, from it there is more catch, and pride in the fact that it contains your particle.
This article will discuss how to properly breed worms for fruitful fishing.
- First you need to make compost. It must have a dense consistency in order to fully satisfy the vital needs of worms and be as similar as possible to their standard habitat. The place for composting should be in the shade of trees, preferably birch. You determine the area for composting yourself, but the depth of the dug hole should not exceed 45 centimeters.
- At the bottom of the pit, you need to put a cloth (in one layer) of burlap, put a layer of clay from 20 to 25 centimeters on top (so that moisture leaves the compost for a long time).
- On top of the clay, lay a layer of soil mixed with humus 10-15 centimeters (it is better if it is black soil).
- Well, and finally, cover this layer with birch leaves (the layer of leaves should rise 40-50 centimeters above ground level).
The main thing is not only to intelligently and competently make a "dwelling" for worms, but also to properly care for it. It is necessary to use additives that will accelerate leaf decay and give the compost a denser and more productive look. Moreover, if you live in an area where it does not rain very often, then you will have to periodically water the compost heap with water.
Winter with high frosts and a large level of snowfall for this type of breeding of worms is not terrible, since the snow covered the leaves keeps the temperature inside the compost normal. But if the winter is without snow and with high frosts, then to preserve those living in yours, cover it with a dense weighty cloth.
And remember, if you breed worms strictly adhering to the above tips, they will appear in your compost pit no later than 1, 5 - 5 months (depending on the harvesting season). At the same time, vaunted by anglers, a crimson-red earthworm will be in the upper layers of the leaves.
