BSFL Spring 2015

The document discusses rearing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for composting and waste reduction. It describes experiments conducted including measuring temperatures in compost piles and testing different carbon to nitrogen ratios. The document also discusses the design of a breeding structure, challenges in breeding including temperature, humidity, mites and mold control. It notes a 17:1 waste reduction ratio in one experiment and plans to further test the compost outputs and scale up the BSFL production.
