RE: DIY Black Soldier Fly Larvae Compost Bin turns meat, dog turds and other uncompostables into high protien feed!

Actually... That's pretty high dollar feed you got there...

Really. Go look at petfood suppliers.

And aquaponic systems? That would be sweet!

Get a couple. More and you are doing well!

But awesomeness that's a huge way to make humic acid and great soil amendment!

But keep at it! Great job!

I'm pretty excited about it. If I end up producing a lot I might sell them online but I think you would want a much larger bin or several of them if you were going to sell them dried, on the other hand the live ones seem to command a pretty high price if you want to mess around with trying to package and ship them live.

Freeze them and that's another extra cost... That's Spendy protein!

But yeah funny how you can make money from the flies! That's something maybe I'll do this year... Lol wouldn't be too hard to dry them too.

word.

If you have any intention of growing a fast growing flowering annual in an aquaponics system it is exactly the sort of feed you should be feeding your fish. I have been thinking about getting a black bucket or painting the collection bucket black so they dry right in there

Yeah and organic is always worth more. But at the high price? Freeze dried. Live.. Frozen fresh, there isn't any way you can. Lose.

Homesteading is amazing let alone making the funds showing people how to do it yourself.

Aquaponic systems for the win!

Total cost for this project is about $14 with the $5 pipe and a $9 can of live BSF larvae shipped. everything else I had handy.
Aquaponics is tricky to get right but once you do it can be pretty great. the hard part is keeping your PH right.
