Where do I place the feed? Where you place the feed in your bin will greatly impact turnover of the waste and BSF larval production. You definitely do not want to place a heaping mound of waste in the center of your bin. Doing so will result in the waste rotting before the BSF larvae can access it. Also- you run the risk of other flies (e.g., house flies, blow flies) colonizing the waste resulting in a issue for you, your pets as well as your neighbors. So, to avoid this issue, try to apply a thin layer of waste (2-4 inches) deep on top of the compost containing the larvae. Don't worry, the larvae will find it and digest it. If you see waste still on the surface... well- that's another issue (see subsequent post). I hope this information helps you be successful- but please let me know if there are specific topics you would like covered. We are here to help. Until my next post- best of luck and happy black soldier fly farming!! AuthorJeff Tomberlin, PhD, BSF ecologist
