First BFL harvest this morning!
I found three large larvae- 3/4" long and black, in the catch bin this morning. I took them down and fed them to my chickens. For the next few days I'm putting the harvest bucket in a shady place near a spot where I put some food scraps under a layer of wood compost. I plan to let any that come out of the bin in the next few days find their way to a place where they can become flies and breed. It took a week from putting little white larvae in my collector bin to the appearance of the mature larvae.
Also, the grow bins in my aquaponics setup are doing well. I planted various herbs, a squash and some tomatoes and all are apparently thriving five days after being planted.
