Hmp. I thought for sure this would be a lively topic.
You can take household waste (food of every type and even poo if you like), and convert it into highly nutritious live fish food at a 4 to 1 ratio, AND...
...it is basically free
...sells for $5 - $10 per "cup" as "Phoenix worms"
...is self-harvesting
...and is a ready supply of great bait.
Seriously, it looks like after you buy or construct the bin all you do is throw your garbage into the top and beautiful, huge, juicy and delicious grubs stream out into your pond or a collection bucket. There's little odor, no disease carrying pests, extremely little maintenance.
Well, anyway...
I was pretty sure I had seen BSF (Black Soldier Flies) around so I set out some bait. The brown stuff is cat food. :rolleyes:
edit: My dog got into the bucket after I took the pics so I had to add more straps.
Here's one laying some eggs on cardboard.
It's supposed to take a little more than 100 hours to hatch time in warm weather, so I'll take a close look on Wednesday.
