How to make a black soldier fly farm

by

Download

Costa meets Gavin Smith, gardener and insect enthusiast, who farms black soldier flies and their larvae in a purpose-built compost bin. Black soldier fly larvae are great composters of food scraps and the protein packed larvae can be harvested to feed to chooks and used for bait in fishing.

Black soldier flies are Hermetia illucens. They are black and 15mm long. They look like a small black wasp. They are an introduced species in Australia but now occur worldwide.

Gardeners can mistake black soldier fly larvae in their compost for the maggots of blowflies, but unlike maggots, black soldier fly larvae eat vegetable food scraps. They are eating machines, turning scraps into compost much more rapidly than worms. They are good to have in your compost and can process (eat!) large amounts of scraps very quickly.

You can build a purpose-built black soldier fly farm to encourage the fly to lay eggs into your food scrap container or compost. The flies and larvae are more likely to occur in the warmer weather.

How to Make Compost

Learn How to Make Compost. Compost is a mix of organic matter such as leaves, brush, kitchen scraps and manure. Composting is the method of speeding up the decomposition process and controlling it to improve the quality of garden soil. This helps plants grow stronger and healthier without the use of synthetic fertilizer. Add “browns” to your compost such as dry grass and leaves, brush, twigs and wood chips. These provide the necessary carbon. Then add “greens” such as grass clippings and fresh leaves or kitchen scraps to provide nitrogen. Manure is optional. Meats, fish, oils and dairy products should not be added because they attract animals, break down slowly and make your compost pile smell bad. As the material decomposes, heat will be generated. Ideal temperatures inside the compost pile should be between 90-160 degrees F. The compost pile also needs to be kept moist but not too wet. Turn your compost pile weekly during the summer and monthly during the winter to introduce air and help it breakdown more quickly and ready in 3-4 months.
