P.Tony, the results are variable depending on temperature, humidity, and the type of waste being processed. The manufacturer states that a BioPod can process 5 pounds (2.2 KG) of kitchen scraps per day and that the yield will be approximately 1 pound (.5 KG) of larvae per day. I usually don't process that much so I can't confirm that personally. They used to claim a higher number but I think that was based on their own highly skilled use and under nearly optimal conditions. The new claim is probably a good working average.
