@_Zie_ Soldierflies spread like wildfire. Their spawning behaviour incites them to fly as far as possible from where they are born when they exit their larval stage. Over-cultivation of them on the scale of backyard agriculture/small homesteading is not something I could imagine being an issue. While I have your attention, here's another soldierfly fact: their larva regularly predate on the larvae of houseflies and blowflies (or carrion flies), reducing local vectors of insect borne illness and greatly reducing the odor of decaying foodwaste. This, combined with the fact that adult soldier flies do not eat, makes grub composting viable and ethically sound even in densely populated areas where other composting methods would be bothersome to your neighbours!
@@1voluntaryistNot everyone is able to keep them solely on pasture or on pasture at all. I only have a trio, but my 1/4 acre isn't big enough to nourish them adequately. When I had 50 acres, I only supplemented them during the cold months. The good old days....🥴

Brutally dishonest. You can't get enough feed from that contraption to feed chickens even couple of days. Never EVER trust youtube "farmers" , if they were nearly as good as they claim, they wouldn't be youtube celebrities, like 99.9% of other , real, farmers.
Farming food for the food you're farming is just another level of efficiency. Love this more than words can explain. Will definitely be recreating this once I obtain my land
@@pointynoodle It's in the instinct of the fly maggots to find dirt to pupate in. They will become like a butterfly chrysalis and for this stage of their life they are essentially immobile and helpless, and if they pupate in the food they live in they will rot and die. So they have an instinct to crawl upwards, away from dirty stuff like rotting meat and rancid water that they would normally live in and eat. Then you can sorta exploit their instinct and make it so they just climb up and fall right into the bucket
@@pointynoodle The larvae crawl up the incline looking for soil. Drop into a bucket. Bucket is ready and full of insects to feed to the chickens as soon as you pick it up. Self-harvesting- no digging around for bugs needed.
Im from the netherlands and i used to live on a farm, on my BLOCK (if u can put it that way lmaoooo) we had this 1 farmer who had a chicken farm and a farm for worms, which i guess he used for his chickens, but we used his worms from the farm for fishing, we always would get a whole bucket full of worms, i tell this bc back in the days my he or my dad told me that there were only 3 of those worm farms located in the world or netherlands, doesnt matter which 1 it is, worm farms are interesting, also my dad used to shoot like pigeons to leave on a foam plate for a whole night and the next day already u got these nasty but to use for fishing small fishes larves

As a barista, I can confirm that the number of people looking to farm flies is ridiculously high.

@@kevindavis5966 are grounds that have already been brewed still useful? I work at a wawa in NJ and ballpark we eat up 10 pounds of coffee grounds a day.
@yousef I think I would be pretty happy if I had someone with a beef ranch in my backyard husbanding cattle and buying the fruits and vegetables I otherwise need to just munch and do my thing. It’s gotta be tastier than prepackaged pellets or mixes of food; locally grown always is lol
Free range, organic fly worms. The adult flies live perfectly normal, natural lives. And the fly worms are taught a valuable life lesson early in their development! It's really privatized education, and completely free!
I get my coffee grounds from Starbucks. They have to dump them every couple of weeks and it’s literally giant trash bags full of the stuff. Since I save them the hassle of having to carry/cart it to the trash can, they give me a free cup of coffee in return! I just use it as mosquito repellent/fertilizer in my yard👍
Wow I thought Starbucks would be pairing up with farmers for it already honestly. Always blew my mind how much food waste there is at places I've worked at.. I mean a lot of it is pretty much not safe for humans, unless desperate. Yet so much organic fertilizer or feedstock feed is just tossed. Then to add insult to injury we don't usually even capture the gases from the landfills.
I don't know if I should be disgusted or not. My eggs are omega-3 fed chicken. Chickens eat flax seeds. Then again watching amazing race, eating bugs is nutritious
I get how to do it, but as another comment said: if you slow it down and pause at each picture to study it he could work it out. Hopefully this will work for you too.
@@germangarduno742 What do you gain from being a prick like this? Genuinely. Bringing old world ideas and techniques into a modern age with modern tools at your disposal can be just as interesting and inventive as trying something new. I grew up around a fair amount of agricultural folks, and I never knew anyone to have a setup like this, so I assumed that even if it wasn't original, it was still damn clever.
when you started talking about coffee grounds then adding the food..my first thought was, my rooster is mean and loud enough. I couldn't imagine him on caffeine!🤣
Would love to see a step by step on the build! Edit: the original post was a wee encouragement for the lad to make more content for a video he’s got decent views on. I never expected to bring all the DIY homestead pros to come out with their 🍆 in hand for a pissin contest. Thought you’d all be a friendly bunch. My mistake 🤣😂😅
@@gasser5001hows the cardboard held together. How big are the pvc pipes n what kinda adhesive ? Also interested to know how much coffee n how much cardboard. Do more holes help or hinder the larva ? Oh wait. If u cant answer those questions from this video i hope u dont vote.
@@Mrclean431come on dude it's not that hard to figure out. You can hang the cardboard a few different ways. Fishing line on 4 corners and hot glued to the lid or punch a hole and tie the line around a nut for added strength. The PVC size doesn't really matter since it's just an opening for the flies to come and go. You can use PVC glue or use treaded 90° and be done. Find cardboard that looks like what the video shows. Why would more holes be an issue? More holes, more places to lay eggs. How much coffee depends on how big or a container you use. The exit hole should be around 3/4 up on the side. So use enough coffee to make a ramp. No it wouldn't matter what kind of coffee or food scraps you use. Yea the first guy might have been a smartass but you and OP act like this is really that hard to figure out
They tied the cardboard layers together with fishing line, same thing they used to suspend them. Each block can be 8 layers of cardboardthick, cut into 4x6 inch pieces, 4 blocks of cardboard suspended a few inches apart works. Doesn't matter how high above the grounds it hangs. 3 or 4 inches is enough. PVC has specific glues you can buy, but contact cement works well. You need enough coffee to create a slope upward to the bucket hole.
I didn't read the previous comment before posting, but you can see we came up with nearly identical answers to all the questions based on watching the same 1 minute video...just sayin
It almost needs its own shed, or build it into the chicken coup some how with a heat lamp for winter and a bug screened room on top for the adult fly's to mate in. All the adult fly's need is water, they don't need food. You can sustain it by turning just 1% of your harvest back into fly's. That's my plan anyway.
He didnt invent this tho. There are older videos which already introduced this concept. I too showed it to my cousin a few years back who has chickens but he rathers pays for chickenfood bcuz he thinks this system with flylarve is gross lol
Oh my gosh i need this for my chickens. I don't have coffee grounds but i have the wood shavings and sawdust from the coop that i pile to compost and there's lots of maggots in there but i don't have an easy way to harvest , this idea hopefully will work for me. Thanks for this post 😊

@@seongthongchuah8356 the pipe where they go into the bucket can be extended into the chicken coop
This is the first time ive seen one of these. Its sounds so efficient
It could be made with cheaper materials. But I agree
It's not their idea. Some islanders came up with this system, but I forgot which one
Low key was hoping this was some epic symbiosis with the flies lmao
@@wraith8323 to some degree it might be. Plenty of the larvae will fall into bucket to be eaten by chicken, but not all. So, fly will still have some well feed offspring that make it out the box.
Yeah, this is incredible way to recycle food waste.
This is like a legitimate version of that meme with the mosquito trap where he gets it drunk and trips it on a pencil or something

Not bad! I have done something similar for mealworms but the yield isn't as high. Thanks for this tip!
I enjoyed raising Meal Worms, my bluebirds and Carolina Wrens were almost tame... untill the neighborhood Cats showed up.
Sounds clever. Any redstone involved?
🤣
😁👍
Are hoppers considered redstone?
@@hampter3819 well it is in the redstone tab in the creative menu so i'd say yes
are those tubes considered hoppers?

Genius. Nothing outsourced at maximum efficiency. Kudos, man!
UA-cam wants me to rate your comment, which is unsettling for some reason
@@GlorifiedGremlin always wonder what happens if too many of your comments get rated bad
@@sincereflowers3218 I imagine they just make your comments get seen by way less people. Google just looooves to manipulate stuff. Idk why it has to be more complicated than comments with likes go up, and comments with dislikes go down. It's simple, Reddit and many others have done it that way from the start
Only because the main element (coffee grounds) are donated.
@@kevindavis5966 are grounds that have already been brewed still useful? I work at a wawa in NJ and ballpark we eat up 10 pounds of coffee grounds a day.
Way better system than the ones I've seen in the past. This is actually awesome! My chickens love some soldier fly larvae.
Awesome idea. Probably turns into some really good compost as well.
Yeah, but I would wait until the black soldier larvas are all gone or you’re going to be planting about 100 every foot 😂
And makes your garden smell like SHIT!
Great system!! so when do you replace the coffee grounds?
Bro just casually built a Minecraft farm to harvest larva, what a gigachad
Bro made an infinite food glitch for

For humans if your willing
Those are some very happy chickens
@yousef I think I would be pretty happy if I had someone with a beef ranch in my backyard husbanding cattle and buying the fruits and vegetables I otherwise need to just munch and do my thing. It’s gotta be tastier than prepackaged pellets or mixes of food; locally grown always is lol

Woah woah woah, why do you need that many flies?

Brilliance based on understanding. Good job.
This is a beautiful example of engineering! Kudos to you
Yeah BioPod sounds way better than fly worm trap.
iMaggot 3000
Fly worm lol they’re maggots 😆 fly worm does sound better tho
Fly worm *farm*. This is livestock at this point.
Free range, organic fly worms. The adult flies live perfectly normal, natural lives.
And the fly worms are taught a valuable life lesson early in their development!
It's really privatized education, and completely free!
I get my coffee grounds from Starbucks. They have to dump them every couple of weeks and it’s literally giant trash bags full of the stuff. Since I save them the hassle of having to carry/cart it to the trash can, they give me a free cup of coffee in return! I just use it as mosquito repellent/fertilizer in my yard👍
You could literally collect bags they throw out and sell it on the side for people who have chicken farms
Wow I thought Starbucks would be pairing up with farmers for it already honestly.
Always blew my mind how much food waste there is at places I've worked at..
I mean a lot of it is pretty much not safe for humans, unless desperate.
Yet so much organic fertilizer or feedstock feed is just tossed. Then to add insult to injury we don't usually even capture the gases from the landfills.
I don't know if I should be disgusted or not. My eggs are omega-3 fed chicken. Chickens eat flax seeds. Then again watching amazing race, eating bugs is nutritious
Lucky. All the Starbucks around here are tapped out by everyone else who already knows this “secret”
@@kellyb8237 So... eating the eggs that come out of a chicken's butt isn't disgusting unless the chickens eat bugs? Hmm..
Absolutely ingenious! TU for sharing!
absolutely brilliant, well done. would love to watch a how-to guide
God still loves u fam.
I hope u find the Lord Jesus if u r ever so lost. 🙏
I get how to do it, but as another comment said: if you slow it down and pause at each picture to study it he could work it out. Hopefully this will work for you too.
i mean he... gave you step by step instructions in this video
@@iamapotato.8525 What
You just did..
You certainly possess some genius to have devised this whole process. Hats off to you, friend.
It's a worm farm basically. Been around for ages
The point is he took the effort to make it even if not an original invention. Buying materials and research on the flies, cardboard and what not.
Hey, if you do a little research you will realize it's nothing new... Stop having just 1 source of information
@@germangarduno742 Hey, if you do a little research youll realize no one asked.
@@germangarduno742 What do you gain from being a prick like this? Genuinely. Bringing old world ideas and techniques into a modern age with modern tools at your disposal can be just as interesting and inventive as trying something new. I grew up around a fair amount of agricultural folks, and I never knew anyone to have a setup like this, so I assumed that even if it wasn't original, it was still damn clever.
when you started talking about coffee grounds then adding the food..my first thought was, my rooster is mean and loud enough. I couldn't imagine him on caffeine!🤣
I have fed many found baby birds from my compost soldier bug larvae. Always good to have them available.🎯
these guys would survive the longest in a zombie apocalypse
Would love to see a step by step on the build!
Edit: the original post was a wee encouragement for the lad to make more content for a video he’s got decent views on.
I never expected to bring all the DIY homestead pros to come out with their 🍆 in hand for a pissin contest. Thought you’d all be a friendly bunch. My mistake 🤣😂😅
I mean... if you can't establish how it's made from this video, please don't vote.
@@gasser5001hows the cardboard held together. How big are the pvc pipes n what kinda adhesive ?
Also interested to know how much coffee n how much cardboard. Do more holes help or hinder the larva ?
Oh wait. If u cant answer those questions from this video i hope u dont vote.
@@Mrclean431come on dude it's not that hard to figure out. You can hang the cardboard a few different ways. Fishing line on 4 corners and hot glued to the lid or punch a hole and tie the line around a nut for added strength. The PVC size doesn't really matter since it's just an opening for the flies to come and go. You can use PVC glue or use treaded 90° and be done. Find cardboard that looks like what the video shows. Why would more holes be an issue? More holes, more places to lay eggs. How much coffee depends on how big or a container you use. The exit hole should be around 3/4 up on the side. So use enough coffee to make a ramp. No it wouldn't matter what kind of coffee or food scraps you use.
Yea the first guy might have been a smartass but you and OP act like this is really that hard to figure out
They tied the cardboard layers together with fishing line, same thing they used to suspend them. Each block can be 8 layers of cardboardthick, cut into 4x6 inch pieces, 4 blocks of cardboard suspended a few inches apart works. Doesn't matter how high above the grounds it hangs. 3 or 4 inches is enough.
PVC has specific glues you can buy, but contact cement works well.
You need enough coffee to create a slope upward to the bucket hole.
I didn't read the previous comment before posting, but you can see we came up with nearly identical answers to all the questions based on watching the same 1 minute video...just sayin
Bros over here growing life
I would love to see from start to finish how the setup is done.
Gotta build me one of these for our chickens, just gotta find a way to Canada proof it lol
Maybe add in some radiant heat tubing from a heat pump?
It almost needs its own shed, or build it into the chicken coup some how with a heat lamp for winter and a bug screened room on top for the adult fly's to mate in. All the adult fly's need is water, they don't need food. You can sustain it by turning just 1% of your harvest back into fly's. That's my plan anyway.
Not gonna lie, that wins the internet for the day. Great work my guy!
remove the store baught feeds, some may stop egg production...so this is a really really reallly good idea
Yeah imma need a how to video about this. The amount of money you can help people save from this and have healthy chickens is incredible!
Thank you for sharing this valuable information with us. 🙏🏼
Now this is some quality content on UA-cam!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m amazed at your composting configuration and the technique you used. This is top notch *no waste*
You’ve earned my sub 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Same
He didnt invent this tho. There are older videos which already introduced this concept.
I too showed it to my cousin a few years back who has chickens but he rathers pays for chickenfood bcuz he thinks this system with flylarve is gross lol
Isekai mangakas: write that down!
"That time I got reincarnated as a demon worm in a dungeon (biopod) and became Lord of the Flies Beelzebub" 😂
Oh my gosh i need this for my chickens.
I don't have coffee grounds but i have the wood shavings and sawdust from the coop that i pile to compost and there's lots of maggots in there but i don't have an easy way to harvest , this idea hopefully will work for me.
Thanks for this post 😊
Wow!! This is fantastic on so many levels. I can't find the words to say how impressed I am by this whole process. Thank you for sharing.
That’s actually one of the most educational shorts I think I’ve ever seen.

That is very cool when you explain it like that.
