In order to obtain a continuous harvest several weeks , stocking of seedlings should be done by seeds removed after generating cocoon . This method can also be produced worms with great weight and nearly uniform . When the seedlings allowed to continue in the container maintenance , every 2-3 weeks so that the seeds will produce cocoon crop is not uniform .Setting seed stocking is done in the following way . Seeds that have been sown for 2-3 weeks removed from the container and transferred into another container that contains the new media .
The seedlings were maintained for 2-3 weeks and then moved again to another container with the new media . And so on until the seedlings reach maximum production , which is around the age of 7-10 months . If this is done then the future continuous harvest to be done once every 2-3 weeks .
When the seedlings productive period lasted from age 3 months and ended the age of 7 months, the active production period of about 4 months . Thus , the worms are produced from the seed sowing the first time been able to be harvested . In fact , it can be used as seeds .
Each plastic container usually filled about 0.25 kg or about 500 fish seed earthworms . If each tail produces 2 cocoon and any cocoons produced 2 juveniles then the container can be produced by 1 kg of worms within 3-4 months . By looking at the breeding pattern then the benefits can be doubled. If the seeds used 3 months old and productivity lasts until the age of 9 months, during the production of seed removal may take 8-12 times . As a result , the amount of crops from the use of 1 kg of seeds can reach 32-48 kg .
There are also farmers who fill each plastic container with 0.5 kg of seeds earthworms . In fact , earthworms are generated at the end of the 4th month to reach 5 kg . That is, ten times more than the cultivated seedlings . This great result depends on the media , feed , and accuracy in the maintenance process .
