Black Soldier Fly Larvae

Is anyone on the forum using BSF Larvae to aid in composting, feeding their chooks or feeding their fish?

I'd never heard of them until someone posted a link to a larvae farm. But it was Australian, if I remember rightly. do we get them over here. or is it another name for something familiar?

Thanks for the quick reply Maggie

I am unsure to be honest. I have heard them mentioned in a UK talk on Aquaponics but there is little info from a UK standpoint.

It is a good way to turn waste food into highly nutritious chicken and fish food and they seem easy to keep.

I am going to have to research this a little further

I think they are called Phoenix worms in the UK
