The BioPod Plus allows you to harvest the larva of Black Soldier Flies at the correct stage and utilize them as valuable feed. These larvae are a great source of natural protein and contribute to a healthy, balanced diet. This is a great way to reduce the waste you send to landfills, create a more sustainable home, and purchase less processed feed! There is an obvious cost savings associated with purchasing less store-bought feed. By cultivating a harmless, native species you are utilizing the bounty of nature rather than factory processed, commodity ingredients. Whether you have pastured chickens, aquaponic bluegill, fish, bullfrogs, or backyard songbird feeders you’ll be able to provide your animals with a healthy, living grub. How it works: Utilizing the larvae stage of the native Black Soldier Fly, the BioPod Plus is an efficient way of bio-converting your food scraps into living grubs, without the time-consuming task of separating the grubs from the active pile. Food scraps are added to the BioPod Plus, Black Soldier Flies are then attracted and lay their eggs inside. Mature grubs automatically separate themselves from the active pile using the crawl-off ramps and collect in the handled harvest bucket. Then you have grubs your animals will love! The advanced drainage system helps maintain aerobic conditions by separating liquid effluent from pod contents. Liquids are easily dispensed from external fittings.
