HOW TO Farm Black Soldier Flies | Feed your chooks for free | DIY system

In this video Mandy from the Cane Field Garden in Mackay, shows us her systems for farming black soldier flies.
They have an insatiable appetite for compost, and produce lovely fertiliser for the garden, plus they are a food source for your chickens!

Can I ask where you get your whey from and the molasses in bulk to start your enzyme mix

I'm sorry, did you say "make a tea out of it?"... LOL, no way I'm drinking that tea... LOL

[@amykim5325]

She probably meant compost tea 😂

I would like to contact Mandy to get some BSF eggs

[@alisalih3262]

Thank very much for sharing the video about the BSF. It's super informative. Actually I'm interested in getting BSF eggs so I go through the experience. How can I arrange this to be shipped to UAE 🇦🇪? HOW CAN YOU HELP?

[@ianshand6094]

Hello Ali (from New Zealand), BSF are endemic throughout the world, including here in NZ. It's highly likely you already have BSF in the UAE. It is prohibitively expensive to send BSF between countries. Furthermore, there will be quarantine restrictions. There are videos on KZbin that show you how to attract BSF, and where they can lay their eggs, so you can start your own colony. Researching what others have done and then creating your own system is the best way to learn. Cheers, Ian

Really love all her experiments, crafty.

[@firewheelfarm7095]

In the video you said black soldier flies don’t like me a T. But I did a KZbin search and there’s all kinds of videos of them eating meat.

[@carlschleg5918]

Did one batch of BSF, and they ate EVERYTHING but the bones......

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Think she meant the worms etc but you are right they will eat anything organic(including cardboard if there is nothing else) She emphasised the process of fermentation which separates the BSF from other species. I must admit that anytime I have added food to a system they just eat it anyway.. maybe should hold back a bit more and add bokashi process to it all and see what happens.

Well if you're not going to talk about black soldier flies I'm going somewhere else
