Has anyone on here had success breeding black soldier fly larvae (phoenix worm, reptiworm, calciworm, etc)? I'm thinking about giving it a whirl. I garden, so the compost would be used, and I figure that I could mickey-mouse a small composter with little more than a 5-gallon bucket, some old garden hose, and a tupperware container or something to catch the mature larvae.
My only question is how to start the whole process. Should I just buy some phoenix worms online and wait for them to turn into flys, or leave the compost outside and the black soldier flies will find their way (I live in MA, if that helps)?
