• Do not put fresh cow dung on the bed because it is hot and it can kill the earthworms.
• Maintain moisture, shade, temperature ranging between 8 to 30 degrees and proper air flow in the bed.
• Protect the earthworms from enemies like frogs, snakes, birds, crow, lizard and ant.
• Cow dung should not be hard and dry, make the dung wet and cold before using it as earthworm’s feed.
• Take care that there is no outbreak of termites and red ant in the bed.
• Do weeding every week in the bed, so that earthworms can get proper air flow.
• Keep removing the compost layer from top of the bed when it is ready.
