Jack, I think his problem comes down to economics. Bsf take a much biggeR share of the energy stored up in your scraps. They literally fly away with it.
not always, i plan to feed the larva to my chickens, and in turn i get free chicken poop.

If you don't let them out of the area you have them contained they won't turn into adult flies. At least that's my understanding.
Edit: You also have to consider that you can feed them many things that you wouldn't normally be able to put in a traditional compost. Meat, cheese, etc.
By face off, I meant first one to get the face off. If you can start with skin even better but usually a goat's head is already skinned and ready to boil.
Let's go boys, it's almost Halloween!
ok... how about a jack o'lantern face off?
I just found a large rat shaped pile of maggots with fur and a tail in my basement and had to clean it up. basement has been smelling odd for weeks.
I surrender.
so I found some "grub lookin thangs" in my compost tumbler and am excited to find out they are BSF larvae.
how should I go about separating them from the tumbler and building a more favorable environment for them? or just build the new compost heap and let em migrate?
and how does one go about harvesting BSF castings anyways?
