【都市蚓農:都蚓箱 Do It Box 生物動力循環箱結構解析】(台灣專利)
👉由台灣都市蚓農企業社(桃園龍潭)李朝安老師與林琬曼博士共同研發,是台灣最具代表性的在地永續創新設備與農法。
👉核心理念與研發背景:
🍀李朝安老師出身桃園龍潭農家,曾任科技公司與百貨業高層,因健康因素回歸土地,開始自學並研發蚯蚓生態循環系統。歷經多年反覆試驗,他結合林琬曼博士的食品科學、健康促進與生技專長,於2018–2019年成立都市蚓農企業社,推動「生物動力循環養耕農法」。
🍀核心概念:「師法自然、Do It Box(做就對了!)」——在有限的都市空間中,構築多營養級分解生態系,將廚餘(植物性為主,含少量動物性)、落葉、雜草等有機廢棄物,就地轉化為沃土與堆肥茶,實現零廢棄、碳匯累積與土壤復育。
👉創新特色(有別於傳統蚯蚓堆肥)
🍀生物多樣性設計:超越單一紅蚯蚓養殖,整合蚯蚓(分解植物性廚餘如菜葉、果皮、咖啡渣)、黑水虻幼蟲(高效處理魚肉、蛋殼、少量肉類等動物性蛋白)、疣跳蟲及百億微生物(細菌、真菌、放線菌等),形成完整分解食物網。透過分工合作,大幅加速分解過程,達到無臭、無蚊蠅,並產出富含益菌的優質沃土與堆肥茶。
🍀多功能模組化設備:提供木箱與陶版兩大系列,常見款式包括零碳椅式(兼具家具功能)、蚓田箱/蚓菜箱(上層可直接種植)、寵物箱、蕨蚓箱、蚓雞屋等。設備強調透氣、保濕、美觀,適合室內、陽台、社區中心與學校使用。
🍀生態與社會效益:源頭處理廚餘、提升土壤微生物多樣性、增加碳匯、支持綠色照顧,無需電力、低維護門檻,同時具備高度教育價值,是都市農耕、食農教育與社區推廣的理想工具。
👉都蚓箱結構層分析(以陶瓷版寵物箱為例)
🍀陶版都蚓箱呈現優雅的3層模組化疊加圓柱設計,上層直接種植觀葉植物,下方設有銅製水龍頭可收取液肥,完美體現「上層種植、中層分解、下層收茶」的核心設計哲學。
🍀1. 頂層 ─ 上層沃土種植區(Planting & Mature Soil Layer)
開放式圓形種植槽,填入成熟沃土,可直接種植虎尾蘭、蕨類、香草或其他綠葉植物(生長茂盛)。
◎生態作用:蚯蚓與微生物持續向上供應蚓糞與益菌,植物根系直接與下方均衡菌相互動,形成完整土壤食物網,提升植物抗病力與生長活力。
◎都市優勢:兼具綠化、美觀與空氣淨化功能,一器多用,特別適合室內療癒或陽台小農場。
🍀2. 中層 ─ 主要分解與生物多樣性核心區(Active Decomposition Layer)
◎多段疊加的紅陶圓柱體,可見明顯水平分層線,為主要投入廚餘的區域。
◎生態作用:提供多營養級分解者棲地——蚯蚓、黑水虻幼蟲、疣跳蟲與微生物在此分工協作。垂直分層創造不同氧氣、濕度與食物梯度,讓各生物找到最適位置,避免厭氧發臭。紅陶材質具優異透氣性、保濕與保溫特性,模擬自然土壤剖面,促進好氧分解與微生物繁殖。
◎特色重點:這是都蚓箱最大亮點——建構完整分解食物網,而非僅養單一蚯蚓。蚯蚓結合黑水虻與環境微生物,形成穩定均衡菌叢,對土壤健康與植物抗病力幫助極大。
🍀3. 下層 ─ 底部液肥收集區(Leachate Collection Layer)
◎最底層圓柱體,配有精美銅製水龍頭。
◎生態作用:收集「堆肥茶」(vermicompost tea),富含可溶性養分、微生物、酵素與有益化合物。
◎使用方式:可直接或稀釋後澆灌植物、噴施葉面,或作為環境噴霧(有助改善蚊蟲問題)。設計讓液體自然滲濾,避免上層積水導致厭氧。
◎意義:完成物質循環閉環——廢棄物→分解→養分回歸植物與環境。
👉整體優點與生態邏輯:
◎模組化疊層結構:便於組裝、日常維護、擴充與局部清理,垂直流動讓養分與微生物自然遷移,形成連續循環。
◎紅陶材質優勢:比木箱更適合室內使用(無木屑、易清潔、外觀優雅);陶土透氣、保溫、環保,長期使用後自然形成菌膜,進一步強化生態系穩定性。
◎多功能整合:集種植、廚餘分解、液肥生產、碳匯與教育展示於一體,完美呼應「師法自然、化廢為寶」的理念。
◎生物多樣性優勢:分層微棲地與功能互補(蚯蚓通氣、黑水虻處理蛋白質、微生物完成礦化),有效維持好氧環境,實現無臭堆肥。
👉都蚓箱以多樣性生物建立活的分解生態系,讓都市人在有限空間中實踐「產地到餐桌」與土壤復育,真正體現「身土不二」的永續精神。

【Urban Earthworm Farming: Do It Box / BioBox – Biological Dynamic Circulation System Structure Analysis】(Taiwan Patent)
👉 Developed by Mr. Li Chao-An and Dr. Lin Wan-Man of Do It Earthworm Social Enterprise (Longtan, Taoyuan), this is Taiwan’s most representative locally-innovated sustainable farming equipment and method.
👉 Core Philosophy & Development Background
🍀 Mr. Li Chao-An, a native of a farming family in Longtan, Taoyuan, previously held senior positions in technology companies and department stores. Due to health reasons, he returned to the land, began self-studying, and started developing an earthworm-based ecological circulation system. After years of repeated experimentation, he partnered with Dr. Lin Wan-Man, who brings expertise in food science, community health promotion, and biotechnology. Together they founded Do It Earthworm Social Enterprise in 2018–2019 to promote the “Biological Dynamic Circulation Farming Method.”
🍀 Core Concept: “Learn from Nature” and “Do It Box” (Just Do It!) — In limited urban spaces, this system builds a multi-trophic decomposition ecosystem that converts kitchen waste (primarily plant-based, with small amounts of animal waste), fallen leaves, and w**ds into nutrient-rich soil and compost tea on-site. It achieves zero waste, carbon sequestration, and soil restoration.
👉 Innovative Features (Distinct from Traditional Vermicomposting)
🍀 Biodiversity Design: Going beyond single-species red earthworm cultivation, the system integrates earthworms (for plant-based kitchen waste such as vegetable leaves, fruit peels, and coffee grounds), black soldier fly larvae (highly efficient at processing animal proteins like fish, eggshells, and small amounts of meat), springtails, and billions of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, etc.). Through specialized division of labor, it dramatically accelerates decomposition, eliminates odors and mosquitoes, and produces high-quality, beneficial-microbe-rich soil and compost tea.
🍀 Multi-functional Modular Design: Available in wooden and ceramic (terracotta) series. Common models include the Zero-Carbon Chair (dual-use as furniture), Worm Garden / Worm Vegetable Box (with planting space on top), Pet Box, Fern & Worm Box, Worm & Chicken House, and more. The equipment emphasizes breathability, moisture retention, and aesthetic appeal, making it ideal for indoor spaces, balconies, community centers, and schools.
🍀 Ecological & Social Benefits: On-site kitchen waste processing, enhanced soil microbial diversity, increased carbon sequestration, support for green care initiatives, no electricity required, low maintenance, and high educational value. It is an excellent tool for urban farming, food and agriculture education, and community promotion.
👉 Do It Box Structure Analysis (Ceramic Pet Box Model)
🍀 The ceramic Do It Box features an elegant 3-layer modular stacked cylindrical design. The top layer allows direct planting of foliage plants, while a copper spigot at the bottom collects liquid fertilizer — perfectly embodying the core philosophy of “Top: Planting | Middle: Decomposition | Bottom: Compost Tea Collection.”
🍀 1. Top Layer – Mature Soil Planting Zone (Planting & Mature Soil Layer)
Open circular planting trough filled with mature soil, ideal for growing snake plants (Sansevieria), ferns, herbs, or other leafy greens (which thrive vigorously).
◎ Ecological Function: Earthworms and microorganisms continuously supply worm castings and beneficial microbes upward. Plant roots directly interact with the balanced microbiome below, forming a complete soil food web that enhances plant disease resistance and growth vitality.
◎ Urban Advantages: Combines greening, aesthetics, and air purification in one unit — perfect for indoor healing spaces or balcony micro-farms.
🍀 2. Middle Layer – Primary Decomposition & Biodiversity Core Zone (Active Decomposition Layer)
Multi-segment stacked terracotta cylinders with visible horizontal layering lines, serving as the main area for adding kitchen waste.
◎ Ecological Function: Provides habitat for multi-trophic decomposers — earthworms, black soldier fly larvae, springtails, and microorganisms work in synergy. The vertical layering creates varied micro-environments (oxygen, moisture, and food gradients), allowing each organism to find its optimal niche and preventing anaerobic conditions or odors. The terracotta material offers excellent breathability, moisture retention, and thermal stability, simulating natural soil profiles and promoting aerobic decomposition and microbial proliferation.
◎ Key Highlight: This is the greatest strength of the Do It Box — it deliberately builds a complete decomposition food web rather than raising only earthworms. The combination of earthworm gut microbiota, black soldier fly larvae, and environmental microbes creates a stable, balanced microbiome that greatly benefits soil health and plant disease resistance.
🍀 3. Bottom Layer – Liquid Fertilizer Collection Zone (Leachate Collection Layer)
The lowest cylinder is equipped with a beautiful copper spigot.
◎ Ecological Function: Collects “compost tea” (vermicompost tea) rich in soluble nutrients, microorganisms, enzymes, and beneficial compounds.
◎ Usage: Can be used directly or diluted to irrigate plants, as a foliar spray, or as an environmental mist (helps reduce mosquito issues). The design ensures natural percolation while preventing water accumulation that could cause anaerobic conditions in the upper layers.
◎ Significance: Completes the material circulation loop — Waste → Decomposition → Nutrients returned to plants and the environment.
👉 Overall Advantages & Ecological Logic
◎ Modular Stacked Structure: Easy to assemble, maintain, expand, or partially clean. Vertical flow enables natural migration of nutrients and microorganisms, creating a continuous circulation system.
◎ Terracotta Material Advantages: More suitable for indoor use than wooden versions (no wood chips, easy to clean, elegant appearance). The clay is breathable, heat-retaining, and eco-friendly; over time it naturally develops a microbial biofilm that further strengthens ecosystem stability.
◎ Multi-functional Integration: Combines planting, kitchen waste decomposition, liquid fertilizer production, carbon sequestration, and educational display in one device — perfectly aligning with the philosophy of “Learn from Nature, Transform Waste into Treasure.”
◎ Biodiversity Advantage: Layered micro-habitats and functional complementarity (earthworms for aeration, black soldier fly larvae for protein breakdown, microorganisms for mineralization) maintain an aerobic environment and achieve odor-free, pest-free composting.
👉 The Do It Box builds a living decomposition ecosystem through biodiversity. It enables urban residents to practice “farm-to-table” and soil restoration within limited spaces, truly embodying the sustainable spirit of “Body and Soil Are One” (身土不二).
