My homemade Black Solier Fly Larva Bucket

Made from a broken shop vac and a few other broken, discarded parts.  I plan on raising these insects as feeders for my chickens, it will be a free source of high quality protien food for the girls.

Here it is my homemade biopod from a broken shop vac, broken box fan and a few spare parts!!!!  It is sitting on the bucket for ease of pic taking, I think I will need one minor adjustment to the length of the exit tubing.

I'm putting veggie/fruit scraps and chicken poo in it today and putting it outside!!!   fl    celebrate    Then it won't be long until chickies are  droolin  at least I  fl

Since posting this I have been made aware there are issues feeding the BSF larva poop from the same animal that you are feeding them to, so I will just be putting the plant material in the bucket.


Let's take care of the Earth, it is the only planet we know for sure has chocolate.
