Re:Worms and Maggots (not in the same bin) - 2007/12/12 00:33
I'm about to do some backyard research with 5 gallon buckets. I'll setup now, but it won't get going until Spring when the BSF's get coming. Can't find ANY online, every where's out of them.
One bin is going to be dug mostly in the ground. Holes in the bottom and around the side of the bottom. Holes will be drilled around the side under the lip, for fly entrance and to keep rain from flooding. Going to put a spacer grit guard thing at the bottom to keep the holes from getting clogged. I also have an attachment spin on/off top for easy access (found them online!). This is going to be my doggy poop can. Fill it up, maggots tear it up and the liquidy remains get recycled back into the ground through the holes on the bottom. They'll be on sale late summer, early fall, haha!
Second will be to put over my worm bin. Same basic setup, but it will drain straight to the worm bin. Plan on putting the normal organic waste, but with the addition of meat and dairy products. Lawn scraps will probably go straight to the worms (leaves, grass, etc.).
