Hmmm, I always add feed to my close to empty bucket first then add water to the right proportion. Next time I will try to remember to slop water in first and see if it makes a difference. I already feel that my new refreshed bucket ferments really quickly since I live where it is always warm. In fact I have been dealing with a little bit of a fruit fly problem with my ff lately. I have to keep my lid on all the way, not cocked. It still gets air, just doesn't let the little buggers in.
I love it when they come to the feed, though I rarely seem to have this problem much.....but I wouldn't try to avoid it. Any eggs they lay there will only add protein and they are not a vector of disease as far as I know. How lucky are we? We don't have to develop elaborate systems to feed fly larvae!
