BSFL
I am so impressed at the rate of reproduction in my compost bin. I went to the time-warp shop (aka Bunnings) and got most of the things I need to build a new BSFL farm.
I am following this blog http://blacksoldierflyblog.com/bsf-bucket-composter-version-2-1/
It's a shame this guy does not deliver to Australia because I certainly spent more the $68 and still forgot a few things. The velcro alone was nearly $20.
Here I am cutting the middle lid in my lovely polka dots pjs ;-D
Mmh the rest will have to wait if I want to meet my work deadline Aaaargh!
End of January.
Aha Task completed! Still waiting for the flies to lay though. Mmm… :L
It seems to host more fruit and house flies than anything else. Sprinkled lime liberally.
Maybe more moisture and more decaying food?
Oh yes and missing the collection box.

Ummm... Valerie...
I just use a $15, 60 litre bin from Bunnings (complete with lots of holes drilled in). Chuck my compost in like normal. Admittedly, I leave it a tad wetter than most people would, but I have soldier flies coming out of my ars*** -- compost! I bought a cheap strainer so I can wash them before I feed them to the fish.
