As I mentioned in an earlier Blog, Worms are cool and cuddly, but they are not the ONLY composters.  If you can get past the Creepy factor,  Black Soldier Fly Larve would be what Tim the Tool Man Taylor would use if he wanted to compost with MORE POWER!

Why Black Soldier Fly Larve?  At 42% protein and 34% fat, Soldier Fly Grubs are an EXCELLENT food source for any meat eater.

1. Nutritious Songbird Feeders. Soldier grubs are an ideal food for attracting bluebirds, or any other meat eating bird. 

2. Ornamental Fishpond / Aquarium Feed. Soldier Fly Grubs are high in usable protein and low in ash.  Your goldfish, koi, large cichlids and other pond creatures will relish the live, fresh grubs that are simple to dispense in a tank or backyard pond. 

3. Live Fishing Bait. Home-grown solider grubs are easy to store, simple to transport and a pleasure to bait on a hook – their durable bodies don’t fall apart or get easily ripped up by hungry fish. 

4. Raising Chickens. Chickens love to scratch the dirt endlessly looking for tasty grubs and other insects. A few handfuls a day of soldier grubs scattered throughout the garden will provide hours of enjoyment for your friends and family. 

5. Freshwater Aquaculture or Aquaponics. Raising domesticated freshwater bass, catfish, bullfrogs or tilapia in a small pond or converted pool is a cost-effective and sustainable means of supplying you family with a healthy, year-round protein source. Live or dried soldier grubs may be fed directly to your stock, reducing demand for commercial grade feed.
