In a two foot diameter unit like ESR is marketing you can process 11 pounds of scraps per day. 11 X 365 = 4015 pounds annually. The food scraps are converted into larvae at approximately a 5:1 ratio yielding something like 800 pounds of larvae. I believe these figures are based on a warm environment. The larvae actually process more food in cold weather but their development slows down and recruitment may be an issue. In your part of the country it might make sense to use the BSF during the warmest 6 months of the year.
