Why Australia Fills South Wales with Millions of Worms

[@ivorwindybottom7364]

South Wales is in the U.K. Funnily enough it's the southern part of the country of Wales. New South Wales is a State (apparently) in Australia. Be careful not to confuse with a region. It's too much for some people to handle it seems.

I thought of this kind of feeding for my chickens twenty years ago, mainly because this is how many African farmers feed their layers, and the quality of eggs your chickens pay on insect feed is vastly better than when on standard grain feed. I actually let my Chickens roam around in my garden, without much consequence to the veggies I grew because the insects were far more desirable for them than the veggies, except the spinach, never leave chickens unattended around spinach because as soon as they realize that it is a tasty treat, your spinach plants will be leafless in 3.7 seconds, So I just put some chicken wire around my Spinach and let the hens roam, and not only was my garden free from all kinds of insect problems, but the Eggs were so delicious that we sold them out in less than 30 minutes from the opening of the Farmer's market! And you know what I mean, those free-range eggs with the extra dark orange yolk compared to the emaciate and sallow yellow of the store-bought eggs. The Yolks were so flavorful that people couldn't resist standing in a line to buy Eggs that we actually had to set a limit for each Customer, because, silly me told people how to properly store eggs in a pitcher of water to prevent them from drying out inside and sticking to the shell (thus making it almost impossible to make Sunnyside up eggs because the yolk almost always breaks. On top of that my eggs made such an excellent Eggnog that I won an award for the best tasting Eggnog when I made it fresh for a local food competition, along with a really good Cheesecake that was the best in class for basic cheesecake (aka New York Cheesecake) If you can find eggs from a farmer who feeds them insects, those will be the VASTLY superior eggs to eat, but most places charge a pretty penny for such eggs as labelled "Free Range" because of the darker yolks which most of us desire, although I met someone who did not like the dark yolk eggs, until she actually tried them. I told her to give them a chance and if she still didn't like them after eating two or less I'd buy back the dozen she bought for the same price, and simply add two more eggs from the hens. She came back and bought two more dozen eggs the next week. Quick note to all buyers of eggs from the store, did you know that the eggs you buy from the store, on average are six weeks old, because they hold on to eggs for a certain time because egg producers can have a fluctuating number of eggs, to combat the fluctuating numbers they amass and hold onto eggs for six weeks and as they get more in, the older ones are sent out, thus ensuring they have sufficient numbers and maintain stock in supply for enough time that there is hardly ever a shortage, unless there is a catastrophic disaster in the area and farmers suddenly lose their layers everywhere. And outside of the major cities, eggs are usually locally grown in the region you live in. Specialty eggs are a bit different, like "free Range eggs" and Eggs from other species of birds like Quail, Duck etc..

It's a valid concern since it isn't a native, however, these flies have already made it to every continent (The black soldier fly). They aren't introducing a new fly, they are choosing one that's already there, and due to the lack of mouth parts in its adult form, it's a species that is the least likely to spread disease and wreck crops.

British Anglers have been using maggots for decades. I remember using maggots as bait back in the sixties and my uncles and father were using them before that. Today a lot of processed foods, such as boiles and pastes usually derived from some sort of flour based ingredient are used as baits, but the humble maggot is still used. There used to be huge maggot farms in the UK before the onslaught of artificial baits. Pinkies, Squats, Maggots are the different larvae from the green and blue bottle flies , if I remember rightly greenbottle flies come from fish, and bluebottle flies come from meat. Maggots are also dyed in red or bronze to help catch fish When the maggot becomes mature it turns into a chrysalis or pupa stage, the common term in angling circles is casters, also used as bait, then it hatches into a fly. Many a time I’ve left my maggots in my garden shed during hot weather, and when I’ve gone back to the shed and opened the door a huge swarm of flies have swarm towards me and the light When I’m fishing, I often feed the birds around me, they always know anglers carry food, especially the Robins

I feed freeze dried Black Soldierfly larva to my chickens (two rescued roosters). They're healthier for chickens and more eco-friendly than mealworms, and I think I recall reading that they're also less likely to give your pets gastrointestinal distress (too much chitin can build up in intestines and cause blockages). I say we welcome these little bug buddies where we can. :3 One thing to note, though. I mix mealworms and soldierflies together to give my boys some choice, and I have noticed individual birds seem to have a preference. That, and when my recently passed boy was in his last days of fighting cancer, he switched to preferring mealworms. They have different fat and protein levels, so it's worth considering that when offering to your birds. I don't recall which is which at the moment, but you'd want to avoid the one with higher fat if your birds are already a healthy weight, but avoid the ones with higher protein if you're already feeding a diet higher in protein (too much can damage the kidneys). Also remember, it might not seem like much at all, but the MAXIMUM amount of treats per day you should give any bird is about eight times the size of their eye. Not their full eyeBALL, but the part we can see between their eyelids. Birds are very delicate animals with very delicate bodies, and doing ANYTHING outside of a scientifically catered diet has the chance to destroy them. Please provide treats responsibly.

Forty-odd years ago, I read an article in Mother Earth News about 'chicken runs'. So you would have a double wall of chicken wire around your garden crops and they would provide a natural defense against insects. To encourage the chickens to look for insects, they said to just leave boards on the ground in this run and flip them over once in awhile as the insects would congregate there. I imagine adding some food waste under the boards would help as well.

Apart from the fact that the introduction of an exotic (insect) species always entails an environmental risk, there is also a health risk: - Environment: despite the isolated breeding in 'controlled' conditions, situations will always occur (production interruptions, incorrect procedures, accidents, maintenance, etc.) in which insects escape and can find an ecological niche in which they can survive local conditions (climate, seasons, etc.) and possibly cause damage to infrastructure (buildings, etc.) and/or transmit diseases - Health: closing food cycles in which recycling is incorporated remains risky for the transmission of viruses/bacteria and accumulation of harmful substances (PCB, dioxin, heavy metals, etc.) Careless intermediate treatments can, for example, cause contamination of dangerous thermoresistant bacteria that are difficult to combat. These risks are not only real for humans but also for intermediate links such as livestock farming and aquaculture.

This is really very interesting.

[@reganmahoney8264]

I love this channel. Such random knowledge but researched well.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

Hopefully this works out better than the Rabbits, Alexander Buchanan released in the mid 1800's?? .... and the Break Dancing.

[@zprince4120]

Brilliant idea absolutely brilliant

[@ksea6565]

Why can't we get this in America

[@kenyonbissett3512]

We have black soldier flies, we don’t have the Goterra system. Perhaps Goterra will come to America. Permaculture, the within the problem is the solution.

[@johanna006]

Make your own compost heap and dump all your food scraps in there. If you live in an apartment, just put a large flower pot on your balcony with some soil on the bottom. Mix your kitchen scraps with dried leaves. Soon, you will have lovely, rich humus, and no garbage. The rest are just recyclables.

Forgets to add "new" to the south wales, then says the names of many things wrong, Agony.

[@jgibbs651]

NEW South Wales - "South Wales" is part of the the United Kingdom in the northern hemisphere.

[@poppete]

Just cos Australia don't have enough flies .. 😶🙄

[@darkwing3713]

It's a good idea but a little risky. The larva are a better food for chickens then grain, but if a chemical that bioaccumulates gets into this food waste - larva - livestock cycle, it will build up.

[@boonjabby]

Everyone is saying this. But, it's NEW South Wales

[@trevorhoward7682]

This is the most fascinating video I've seen in ages. Everything made so much sense, apart from the cheese. Even MPFC rat souffle seems palatable compared to that cheese. Disgusting.

[@leviwally3687]

This is the beginning, we'll make too many, so they'll put it in our food

[@Robert-xs2mv]

They already do.

[@Beats126]

As a Swiss ..Landfills are looking totally insane ... i thought only poor People have them but its just the Standard of the whole world😅

[@elkneto4334]

will we soon see a large larvae fence?

[@KegRaider]

Those bloody worm things have taken over my "Worm Farm". I don't really mind, they eat all household scraps faster and still poop out a lot for the gardens, so i'm winning at least there. I'm yet to extract a few for the pet reptiles in this Aussie home though, they look like they could use a bath before entering my lizard pets!

[@Tahu33446]

Look at all of that fish bait that'll help me catch bait fish.

[@2degucitas]

That sounds like a food chain. Bug, bait fish, fish that you eat.

[@raclark2730]

Indeed bug farms can also be used to make sustainable feed for aquaculture. No need to eat ze bugs. Give them to animals that are supposed to eat ze bugs and then eat zem.

[@zombi3907]

2 minutes into the video and im really ready to hear the cool part and tired of being told it's gross.

[@Gribbo9999]

The question is, were the people of Cardiff and Swansea consulted about Australia dumping trillions of fly larvae on them? By the way 'larva' is singular the plural is ' larvae' but then irregular plurals are always a bit too complicated for Americans aren't they?

[@RiffRaffMama.]

I'd wondered the same myself. How do you miss the "New" bit?

[@squibload58]

Somebody's gonna raise the wrong fly larvae, skimp on the controls, and then ...

[@infinitetourment]

why apologize to someone who decided to eat to a video specifically about millions of worms if they couldnt handle it

[@megan2878]

French Toast tastes great right now in my favourite restaurant. I can handle it. I'm Aussie.

[@QueenRequis]

Yay youngster! You got it! Everyone else is just too use to easy food

[@Trial-N-ErrorFarms-jk9iz]

So City Folks are going to be doing what country folks have been doing for hundreds of years. Feed the food scraps to the livestock and collect the organic manure to fertilize the garden to grow food.... And the beat goes on......

[@andyteitge6079]

Highly entertaining!

[@Survivor73]

Note to self: Never. Ever, eat cheese from Sardinia.

[@hooknbullet]

When they aren't making little soldier flies, adults spend the entirety of their lives harassing noxious flies.
