    Anyone using black soldier flies?

    I'm curious what the inside of everyone's biopod looks like. Mine is a swampy gross mess, yet there are larvae in there. Mine drains down into a 2 ft. deep gravel filled hole but inside it's like a bowl of chili. No matter what I put in there they seem to turn it into wet mush...

    Anyone using black soldier flies?

    I realize this thread is pretty old but I thought I'd give my two cents worth. I stumbled upon BSF a couple of years ago. I was cleaning out a bird feeder and it was full of these giant maggot things. I immediately got rid of them and got right onto sanitizing the feeder. It wasn't a week...
