BSF Grubs - Information

[Rainwolf]

Hello,
I would like to start a Black Solider Fly (BSF) compost bin. I have done enough research and reading that I think I've got what I need and will be building it soon.

What I am looking for is information about BSF composting from experience. Tricks, tips, suggestions, things to avoid, etc.

I really want to make a compost bin that not only makes great garden soil but feeds my Birds!

Question: I want to make a compost bin just for my quail/chicken/dog droppings.. and another for my kitchen/food waste... Can I feed the animal waste grubs to my birds? or if not what should I do with them?

Question: Where is the best place I can buy some BSF eggs to get my bins started?

Please add any information you have about BSF composting as I am sure many will read this thread.
Thank you

I raised the BSF last year for my Aquaponics system. I got a lot of information from here: http://blacksoldierflyblog.com/

Here in Texas they are native so I did not need a starter. There are sources online for starters if you need them. They are also known as Phoenix Worms.
