Between chickens and BDF, It's hard to have enough food waste. The chickens got cantalope rinds and seeds yesterday, ate it down to just the thin skin.

I found this set up idea which seems to me a good balance of easy, cheap, and gives you a collection container protected from rain. Can't deny there is satisfaction in seeing if it is producing or not. This seems a good size for modest amounts of kitchen waste.

There's a ton of research being done on Hermetia on a commercial scale. And a video of a guy (NWRedworms) who seems obsessed to the nth degree with growing them and seemed NOT to have a clue what to do with them after, except saying he'd give a few to the chickens.
Plant it and they will come.
