GW, I would like to know what I can feed my composting worms so that the BSF won't lay eggs in their bedding.
Ever since I started with my red wriggler worms it has been a constant BSF population in all 4 containers. I am sure some people out there would be happy to be in my situation, However, I want to keep my composting worms separate from the Larvae until I figure out how to separate the fertile soil from the Larvae to use for future worm bedding.
Manure worms are supposed to get bigger, fatter, and more lively if their diet is manure. All I have to use is rabbit, chicken and hog "waste", but every time I put some hog manure in on top of my worms, I end up getting more Larvae. I know that they can coexist, but I don't want to find out how many BSFL it takes in a container of worms, to kill my worms.
I am thinking that if I switch to putting cellulose and cardboard on the worms and continue with food scraps, high starch, animal feed, etc on the Larvae, hopefully the BSF will not even look at the worm containers.
Then I am assuming that after so long with just grass clippings, water, and cardboard, all the BSf sould cycle out?
