Composting with Black Soldier Flies
Adult BSF First Flight
Wing check! Adult BSF checking wings before flight. Adult BSF hatching from their pupae in a bucket. These black soldier flies got no special treatment, they were left in a closed bucket in the garage and stated pupating 2 weeks later.
Bsf Pupae
Raised on food waste otherwise being sent to to tip. These guys turn scraps into feed.
Bsf Pupae
A hand full of BSF Larvae please, these guys are strait out the collection bucket, self harvested and cleaned themselves on the journey.
BSF See Through Abdomen
BSF have a see through abdomen
Clean BSFL
Feed them to your chooks or barter them with your neighbours for fresh eggs from their chooks.
Avoids Humans
Finally got an adult BSF to land on my hand for a close up shot.
Harmless BSF
Black soldier flies are harmless to children.
Nature's own ultimate food recyclers, BSF have proven to be a great summertime composting solution.
The BSF larvae will eat kilograms of scrap food a night in small composting units, eliminating your food waste before it can even begin to rot.
Black Soldier Fly larvae do more than just eat waste.
When they are done eating your food waste, they will harvest themselves into buckets and let you feed them to your chooks, pigs, ducks, birds and fish. You name it. High in protein and fat they could become a main ingredient in future animal feeds.
On average a household will produce a little under a kg of food waste per day. This food waste can be composted at home using black soldier fly larvae much much faster than worms can do it.

I want to build something that will process 100 lbs. of horse manure per day.
The grove is a drip joint on the outer edges of the lid. It's an optional extra to help keep any rain water out.
Can someone tell me if baby chicks can be fed the larvae pupae when they have newly hatched? if not yes, at what stage/weeks can one start feeding them?
thanks for all you do for the environment!
