Why not combine both ideas? Have a tote as you do, then place another larger tote under it that has a funneling shape to an exit port on the bottom.

@Spark_Iskra_z_Polski 6 месяцев назад

Would it help to insulate the container for winter so that it keeps warm inside it and let them overwinter still producing larva? I saw a vid on how to stop water from freezing and it involved a pipe dug in deep etc.

@andrewflowers6794 3 месяца назад

❤Writing from a rice-farming village in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Thanks for your work. I like your style. EVERYONE here has chickens, and no one has a lot of money. So I am trying to share this with as many people as I can. You'd love Thai chickens. Less meat, but more flavor. It's the 'Original' chicken. Tiny breast, looong legs and super-high tail placement. Hens will battle dogs and cats here and win protecting their chicks by kicking with those long legs. I wish my PBR hens had that kind of Maternal instinct. If you get the chance, eat one!

To skip the intro: 3:40 In the UK there are now some insect farms using food waste. The insects are then made into chicken, pork and fish feed. I hope this trend will spread.

I have been trying to attract them for months using veggie waste, Nothing. I have seen them around but they would not lay eggs. Added left over nacho meat a week ago, checked it this morning and the farm is crawling with larvae. So stoked. Chooks are going to go mental 🙏🏻😁

@FallbackNkillEm 3 месяца назад

Add cardboard over the food waste to give the flies somewhere to lay the eggs

@GrandmomZoo 3 месяца назад

Build mine with the cardboard vertical so the corregation holes are high and visable. You will see the yellow eggs when they find it.

@andrewflowers6794 3 месяца назад

I feel your pain. I was never able to attract any either and I tried everything and live in the tropics. The crazy thing is, once you have them; you can't get rid of them. I let the bin dry out, forget to feed them for months, think I killed them all...add some food and water, poof they're back. I got mine from a Government scientist for free. But I had to drive an hour or two to pick them up and I live in Thailand. So even if you have to pay for your 1st batch of BSFL, don't worry it's a good investment. You'll have them forever. Facebook is how I found mine.

@Katie38689 5 месяцев назад

I accidentally left a half a bag of chicken food in the rain and ruined it. I put it in the back of the yard until I was able to throw it away but I forgot about it. One day I saw those larva crawling out of the bag and the chickens were eating them. So it seems you can just use a feed bag lol I learned how to do this entirely by accident.

@ericluna2934 Месяц назад

You can do the same thing by adding a maggot bucket to you chicken run!! Take a 5-gallon bucket drill some holes at the sides of the bottom area but not underneath the bucket and then add anything during the warmer months that flies like to eat and they will lay there maggot larvae there. So leftover meat chicken bones dairy eggs etc

I made a double tub system set up for getting compost tea (a tub at the bottom, a slightly larger tub with holes in the bottom and some sticks and leaves but at the bottom, and covered with a black trash bag), and quickly found it crawling with larva, that almost miraculously would break down piles of kitchen scraps overnight. I was also throwing in tried material as well, and it never stayed accumulated for very long. Kind of gross, but very useful and amazing how God set things up.

@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece 4 месяца назад

Addition: The plants surrounding the box might increase the life time of plastic box outdoors significantly. Because most plastics are not very UV resistant. so shading them might significantly increase durability. UV makes plastic brittle, even the outdoor stuff suffers from this massively after 10 or 20 years. So plants and or solar setups should be combined with this. But from what I heard the chickens need the shade too anyways, so most chicken setups should be good anyways.

@tdvanwinkle 3 месяца назад

Does it get to the point where you need to extract solids from the bottom ? Is the waste good for the soil or does it need to be composted?

@thehazelnutspread 9 месяцев назад

Do you empty the contents occasionally or do the larvae eat enough of the scraps to keep it down so that you can steadily add to it?

@NaturesAlwaysRight 9 месяцев назад

I just keep adding till the end of the season. liquids drain out bottom and shrinks it.

@feralkevin 9 месяцев назад

Nice video! The issue I have with the drainage holes is they get clogged with moist bsf waste OR grubs (especially the smaller ones) crawl out. I have done different things to deal with it, but haven't found quite the best way yet.

@sheilal3172 9 месяцев назад

Try using coffee filters over the drain holes--I use them in my potted plants and the dirt doesn't fall out of the holes, but the water does.

@feralkevin 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this, but filters quickly break due to decomposition as well as get almost instantly clogged. @@sheilal3172

@glintinggold 9 месяцев назад

Someone commenting here reminded us to use used coffee filters on the inside to cover drainage holes, which is absolute genius.

@jayce1850 9 месяцев назад

Coffee filters, or a water-permeable cloth or soft mesh for a sturdier solution.

@MichaelSmith-ku7ki 8 месяцев назад

I'm thinking some pieces of brillo pads or steel wool attached with some sticky side out duct tape before you put in your compost.

@ricdenali4213 2 месяца назад

How high can the larvae climb? Does the food scraps need to be near the slits?

@coriding 9 месяцев назад

Awesome idea, thanks! Would 3/4 holes with a drill work just as well? Is there a reason for doing slits instead of drilling holes?

@NaturesAlwaysRight 9 месяцев назад

Sure that would work too. Slits because faster and drilling holes in plastic just creates a mess.

@BenjaminEmbrace 6 месяцев назад

I asked myself this too. But the answer I came to was, holes would again be something for the worms to “aim” for as while slits staggered as seen in this video make an 360• window straight-out exit for the worms. (Staggering slits keeps box from falling apart.) Just what I thot, Ive never done this though.

But they feed them tomatoes 🍅 and another person said do not give them tomatoes nor avocados or the seed so can you or someone please advise me on this?! Thanks so much

@davidsosna5913 Месяц назад

I thought one one of the reasons for the ramps was that the larvae can't climb right up the smooth plastic vertical walls. Are you saying they absolutely can and do? Or does the compost have to stay at a level even with the slits?

@andrewflowers6794 3 месяца назад

Anyone know how to stimulate BSFL to Self-Harvest? My BSFL used to drive me crazy climbing vertical walls and escaping. But now, even though I build PVC ramps they won't exit their plastic tote. I put a mango peel or cabbage leaf on the pile and come back to it later covered when I need larvae, but I'd rather they do it on their own.

@peggymazzell2506 Месяц назад

i can not figure out how the bin is set up... i am visual and can't see it. is there anyway you could give me a step by step. please do t be rude ...I just have a very hard time processing. i had soldier flies in sc when i was worm farming but had no idea the treasures that they were (I was just mesmerized by them) and how to use them... thank u so much

@caz4523 2 месяца назад

@glintinggold 9 месяцев назад

I did this entirely by accident. I couldn't get the parts or drill so I gave up and just put my larvae in a tote I found. The lid is too big, there's no holes in it. I laid a piece of cardboard doubled over to fit easily inside, on top of the food scraps, so currently to feed the larvae to my chickens I dig some mostly composted stuff out, complete with larvae, and spray water into the coffee can to fill. Then I toss the contents onto the ground for my chickies to scratch. Once I get the coop built I'll build the pipe setup to collect them, for cleaner 'product'.
