A plurality of container corners may be carried by the container bottom panel. A plurality of recessed container side panels may extend between the plurality of container corners. A plurality of container handles may extend between the plurality of container corners in spaced-apart relationship to the plurality of recessed container side panels, respectively. A container top panel may be carried by the plurality of container corners and the plurality of recessed container side panels. A container interior may be formed by the container bottom panel, the plurality of container corners, the plurality of recessed container side panels and the container top panel. A container neck having a neck opening may extend from the container top panel in communication with the container interior. A container lid assembly may be removably carried by the container neck and closing the neck opening. The container lid assembly may include a container lid rim detachably carried by the container neck, a dish-shaped inner lid portion detachably carried by the container lid rim and a container lid handle carried by the inner lid portion. Container lid assemblies for a container are also disclosed.

In the invention the growing surface of an apparatus for growing invertebrates is increased by a body or bodies (202) located in a growing chamber (201). When food is added to the growing chamber it is spread over at least some of the surfaces of bodies and the inner wall (203) of the growing chamber. This means that the area where invertebrates can grow is increased. The body or bodies are movable with respect to the inner wall of the growing chamber. This allows mixing the added food and other compounds in the growing chamber and it keeps air routes between bodies open.

The present disclosure relates to a method for building a farmland ecosystem with multiple mutual-benefit species in multiple habitats, and belongs to the technical field of agroecological environment. The present disclosure improves the resource utilization efficiency of the farmland ecosystem to the maximum extent, greatly reduces application of chemical fertilizer and pesticides, and reduces environmental damage and pollution. By means of different ecological niches of living things, a beneficial ecological service function is brought into play such that species in the farmland ecosystem can live in a suitable farmland microenvironment, competition for the same living space in the same place is avoided, and harmonious coexistence among the living things is realized; and food with high quality and a higher grain output value are provided.

A method for building a farmland ecosystem with multiple mutual-benefit species in multiple habitats is provided. The method includes: marking out an ecological field plot for planting crops in a farmland, arranging one to three earthworm breeding strip stack(s) at equal intervals, and marking out different planting areas; digging an ecological field ditch surrounding a periphery of the ecological field plot, and planting aquatic plants and breeding aquatic animals in the ecological field ditch; surrounding a periphery of the ecological field ditch with an ecological wide ridge, planting forage plants on a ridge surface of the ecological wide ridge, and planting arbors on an outer side of the ecological wide ridge; and arranging an ecological pond on a drainage side of a hole, wherein aquatic plants are planted in the ecological pond, and crustaceans are bred in the ecological pond.

The presently claimed invention is directed to a feed composition comprising at least one living worm, wherein the worm is free of pathogens selected from the group consisting of species of Salmonella, species of Campylobacter, Histomonas meleagridis and any combination of two or more of the aforementioned.

An Internet of Things (IoT) BIoTower for recycling food wastes into nutrients and for growing organic plants is disclosed which includes a food waste disposable tower for receiving food wastes; a multi-leveled carousels connected to the food waste disposable tower, each containing soils infested with earthworms; and an Internet of Things (IoT) irrigation system designed to provide sustainability to the soils and the organic plants.

A housing for a worm farm includes a composting cavity that, in use of the housing, is to contain worms, bedding material and/or organic waste, the composting cavity being defined by a floor having openings through which castings can pass, and one or more side walls that extend around the floor. A support structure supports the floor and the side walls above a ground surface. A cover locates on the side walls and extend over the composting cavity, and is movable to enable access to the composting cavity. A castings receptacle is movable between an operative position and at least one displaced position.

An ecological pollution treatment system for livestock and poultry farms based on combination of planting and breeding, including a source separation water-saving enclosure, a pollution treatment factory, a feed factory and a supporting planting land. The pollution treatment factory and the feed factory are managed by professional teams for specialized disposal of livestock and poultry manure. The pollution treatment factory is composed of a high-temperature aerobic solid fermentation system, a medium-temperature anaerobic liquid fermentation system, a cracking and propagation system, a heating and heat balancing system, a waste gas treatment system and a detection and control system. Sensors of the detection and control system are arranged in the above systems. The present invention can carry out comprehensive treatment on feces, urine and other wastes and waste gases generated during breeding in large-scale pig farms for resource utilization, and is of great significance to rural environmental protection.

A portable, climate-controlled, continuous flow-through, computer-operated vermiculture bioreactor and method for the treatment of organic solid wastes utilizing accelerated microbiological decomposition including composting and vermicomposting to convert materials into environmentally compatible products, including stable biofertilizer. The portable bioreactor design converts carbon-based organic waste into biofertilizer using thermophilic composting, vermicastings and vermicomposting that can be used directly for plant and farming applications.
