Multiplication of worms in large scale

Prepare a mixture of cow dung and dried leaves in 1:1 proportion. Release earthworm @ 50 numbers/10 kg. of mixture and mix dried grass/leaves or husk and keep it in shade. Sprinkle water over it time to time to maintain moisture level. By this process, earthworms multiply 300 times within 1to 2 months. These earthworms can be used to prepare vermicompost.
