Thank you for your question! While we don’t currently offer pre-built farms, we provide a detailed DIY video course that guides you step by step to easily build and start your own. This option has become especially popular worldwide as it includes all the instructions, CAD data, and drawings you need to successfully build the farm, along with guidance on how to start breeding with it.

@@blub646 Es sollte schon etwas wärmer sein. Die Fliegen und Larven brauchen mind. 20 Grad, besser mehr. Im Winter kann man im kleinen Stil indoor weiter machen. Geruch hängt davon ab, was man verfüttert. Bei Biomüll aus Obst- und Gemüseresten kommt es einem herkömmlichen Komposter gleich!

​@@organicfoodera danke für die Info, dass heißt es wird im freien gemacht. Wie kalt darf es denn sein in der Nacht? Ich habe die Mehlwurmzucht gemacht, aber im Wohnzimmer. Das hat nicht funktioniert, wegen dem Geruch.

​@@organicfooderaalso reizen würde mich das ganze auf alle Fälle... Ich muss mich noch mehr einlesen...

¡Gracias por la recomendación! El trabajo de Ernst Götsch suena interesante. Voy a echarle un vistazo a sus videos; la agricultura sintrópica podría ser muy interesante para futuros proyectos. ¿Tienes experiencia con sus técnicas?

Thank you for your question! In the old design, it was true that some flies could escape when opening the bin to add kitchen scraps. However, in our new design-featured in our DIY tutorial (learn.ofera.at/p/how-to-build-black-soldier-fly-farming-bin-from-scratch-diy-video-tutorial)-this issue has been greatly improved. The flies naturally move upward from the dark environment of the bin into the designated flies mating bin at the top, where they tend to stay. This setup significantly reduces the chance of flies escaping. Also, it’s worth noting that Black Soldier Flies are completely harmless, unlike houseflies. They don’t spread diseases and aren’t a nuisance in any way. This makes them safe to keep, even indoors. If you’re considering setting up your bin in the basement, it should work well as long as the space is ventilated. Let me know if you have more questions! 😊

@@organicfooderaYeah…. Do you ever sell prebuilt ones? I’m trying to do this myself and I’m not very handy.

@ yes, we have some prebuilt ones available. Just reach out to us via ofera.at/contact

Thank you for sharing your concern. We take the well-being of our fish very seriously and ensure they’re raised in an environment that supports their natural growth and health. Our setup provides the right conditions for young tilapia, with careful attention to their diet, space, and water quality. We’re committed to maintaining a responsible and sustainable approach.

@@KayaksenFlores Danke für dein Feedback! :)

@@onsoycenk Beetles lay their eggs in the substrate of the top tray or in the substrate that trickles down through the separation screen from the top tray into the larvae tray below.

@@organicfoodera thanks for the reply. Maybe it would be better to add an extra portable flat tray to seperate eggs from the substrate, so bettles could lay their eggs easily and continuously, just an idea :) But the tray system looks great!

Whenever there's a box, I must save it! 😂

@@ChristianHardt-i2h either you use a net-cage indoors (ofera.at/products/black-soldier-fly-bsf-love-cage-professioneller-netzkaefig-zur-fliegen-paarung-oder-larven-aufzucht) or you overwinter your larvae protected during the cold months to start again in the following season!

@@organicfoodera thanks for your fast answer. How warm do they need for developing? Are 18-20 degrees enough? Another question: is the farm smelling?

@@ChristianHardt-i2h 25 degrees is the optimum. If it‘s colder larvae need much more time to develop. BSF Larvae prefer wet substrate which smells more than dry one. It’s also depending what you feed and how much. Veggie Kitchen scraps smell less than meat, cheese or any animal based scraps.

@@organicfoodera Thank you so much for your answers.

@@organicfoodera I guess there is a little misunderstanding. I already have the bin for the worms. 😅 I was talking about the little grey bin inside your house, with the food scraps and where you put the coffee in.

Thanks for your feedback. With one colony in your Farm Top-Tray, you can use up to 4 additional trays with up to 1kg worms in each tray. The substrate height should be around 3cm in height.

Unfortunately not on the video. I put it in, after a few days of cycling with bacteria: ofera.at/collections/aquaponik-zubehoer/products/aquaponik-bakterienkultur-und-mikroorganismen-350ml

After a few breeding cycles you can shovel out half of the compost and substrate and put it into your garden beds.

Flies live for 1-2 weeks to mate and lay eggs. You can mix dead flies into the composting substrate to enrich the compost with chitin which is very good for the health of your plants.

Just put some adult larvae in the tray again, so that they can hatch to flies.

60x40cm which means 0,24m2

@@organicfooderaHow can I get in touch with you? I really love this field

@@organicfoodera I Mustapha from Morocco you can give me number whatsapp?

grow beds are the filter in this case. we use additional compost worms in the beds to break down the solids. sump is not necessary because it's a simple flood & drain system and no CHOP construction.

Thanks for your feedback. We use compost worms in our grow beds! 😀

@@organicfoodera That is an interesting idea, how has it been holding up so far?

30% humidity? Seems to be not enough. How much light? Flies need light for mating.

@@organicfoodera it’s higher than 30%. It I read that was the minimum. Usually around 50%. They are outside under a tree with light that peaks through the tree.

Wheaten bran as base substrate and some „wet food“ like carotts & potatoes. That‘s a good mix!
