I have grown them on mix of alfalfa, grass clippings, and cardboard. Was only trying to compost this mix to feed to worms but the BSF took a liking to it and proliferated.

The mix was smelly though ... a whole lot like fresh cow dung .. and I exercised care after handling BSF. I'd bet there was a thriving population of e-coli in the substrate.
