Bought a small plastic tub with lid for my Starbucks runs.. Looks cool.
You know it's true that the BSF populations go up and down.. I guess they pupate.
But I see females in there every day.
They love meat for sure.. meat and oils are big compost no no's In there tho is a big yes..
Went to dinner and brought home a doggy bag.. yep they got it.
I do have two weird things going on. the red eggs and the ants.. Well the ants don't seem to be a real problem and they are not actually living in there. It's weird because i get the idea the ants are like farming in there the way they are working things. I don't see anything being carried away I don't see the BSF being attacked. they don't like being walked on.
The red eggs and the ants are happening about the same time.
So ?? Are the red eggs BSF? if so I have never seen that before.
Well Ants have a positive role in some aspects of compost piles I read some place.. Don't know..
About the sheep head.. my tumbler wouldn't fit it but if I had my old "bag" system it would have and I might if I had a sheep's head laying around.. back then i wouldn't have fed BSF meat..
Well they got more coffee today and some really over cooked spaghetti.
The "compost" looks really impressive.. I may get to the worms a lot sooner.
Oh I am officially bubbling liquid now. So like I have all this liquid that used to smell like ass then went to rotten ass well i have been observing it bubbling for a few hours and it has sweetened up a lot..
I added just a little molasses, fish emulsion, liquid kelp and about a glass of left over sun tea.. Later I added a small handful of dirt from the garden.
So I believe I am smelling much less ass now.. It's actually a lot less ass smell.
Any suggestions? I may add some azomite and maybe some oyster shell as I assume the Ph is low as I had some in there before and it dissolved in a just 3 or 4 days.
I'm winging it here.. No real clue just a bit of imagination.
I have a plant I can sacrifice so I just may test this liquid on actual cannabis.
