Do Black Soldier Fly Larvae need a way out of my composting bin?
Comments (10)Ok ok ok. Perspective and knowledge are power. Yes they need a way out, young larvae burrow down for moisture food and safety, adults burrow up looking for dry and light escape. Don't worry tho, some will make it, and breed 100s more! Yes BSFL are voracious eaters but we don't rely on food waste for mass in the compost, it becomes dense nutrient after being eat by larvae and insects. BACK are SUPER BENEFICIAL if you do not like house flies. The larvae and adult BSFs don't eat the flus themselves however the flies eggs are a SUPER TASTY TREAT to the BSFL and I have seen a SERIOUS reduction in the house fly population on my farm. Once you have them in the compost they pretty much take over. No BSFL do not stink, it is anaerobic bacteria breeding that stinks. Brew up some lactobacillus acidophilus and put that liquid and the cheese into the pit. You will notice the larvae look clean after an hour, the cheese curds are a SUPER nutrient rich tasty treat and your compost will have a sweet and sour smell.

Comments (9)DM, I tried everything I could think of to embed your photos here and nothing worked. Sorry. Snapfish doesn't seem to be set up to posted photos on forums. Too bad. Do you have a photobucket account? They are very easy to use and you can even share clickable thumbnails. They seem to have every kind of code you'd need to post anywhere that I've ever wanted to post to. As for you entry. I love the table! That is one gorgeous piece. It seems to have been made for your home. The table runner is awesome too, but it could limit you on art selection. Once you get a large piece of art on the wall I don't think the lack of wall color will matter. This way, as you both want, the features of your home along with the decor, will be the show piece. You won't need color on the walls to "make" the room. As for wall art, what about making your own? I know you don't like to paint walls, but.....? There's so many other ideas for DIY art too. You say you thought about horizontal wood. Why not do it as "art" instead of the whole wall? I just bought a square coffee table for three ninety nine at a local thrift store and if Restore a Finish does it's trick, I might just use the top for art. This picture is really terrible, but it has burled and parquet wood veneer. Check thrift stores for large works or art or mirrors with or with great frames. If you don't like the art just use the frame. My brain is slowing down. I need food. Good luck! It's good to "see" you again....See Morehave moved out - do I need to take new pix?
Comments (9)Thanks. We'll leave the listing as-is, then. One less thing to do. The realtor said my pictures were excellent, and this property isn't priced to merit a professional real estate photographer, they're expensive around here. My "fancy flyer" has all the pictures from the listing and a stack is kept at the house, and I'll blow up a nice picture of what the house looked like in early August with everything blooming its little heart out. There will be no more work done on the house except for a major scrubbing and a very little bit of landscaping once the annuals die back next month - we blew our budget to smithereens bringing the house "up to snuff" before we put it on the market. We just can't spend any more on it even though there are things that could be done, unless someone finds a money tree. The idea of only having TP in one bathroom so they won't use the other ones is a pretty good one, I think, since I'm going to be the one driving 45 minutes each way every week to clean the place (a housecleaner being $60 a pop!) and satisfy the insurance company. I'll get some paper towels, too - I put the proverbial "fluffy white towels" in the bathrooms and really don't want to deal with having to launder them! We had 3 (!!!) failed offers with one realtor in the 100ish days he had the listing (very long story), changed realtors at the beginning of September and the local market promptly collapsed. The phones went dead at our realtor's large office on Labor Day weekend and haven't started ringing again; our realtor currently has 6 listings and has had only 1 showing in a week. And there's still that whole hotel-next-door thing hanging over us, too, which may be contributing to the general paralysis at this end of town. We're going before the planning board in about 3 weeks, with some other neighbors who don't want it there either, in hopes that we can kill it. It will probably count against us that we've moved out already, but so be it. I think most of the neighbors who will be there are probably also selling, there are more signs up in the neighborhood than there were this spring. We moved out - into the house we bought when we thought we had the last offer totally nailed down, and it just wasn't cool with us to then screw OUR seller over - primarily because it was really sucking big wet hairy dog to be living in the house while it was being shown. We were all incredibly stressed out, even the dog. (And you know what happens when dogs get stressed!) Also, we wanted to get the move over with during the early fall since the weather is good and doesn't contribute to the fibro issues. I'm pretty much useless in the winter and it was going to be much harder to keep the house "show perfect", particularly managing "doggy odors" once the house got closed up tight in cold weather. We're looking forward to actually being able to cook a real meal once we get the kitchen unpacked; since a lot of our showings were in the "after work" time, we haven't really cooked since Memorial Day! BTW, chispa, thank you again so much for the paint, that was such a big help and so many people have commented so positively, espeially about the Monroe Bisque that was used in one bedroom as well as the kitchen and hallway. Hope you're settling well into your new digs and having more fun than culture shock. ;-) tauphidelt, I may find pictures of empty rooms kind of boring but it didn't stop us from buying this house, which had been vacant for over 2.5 years! (Rehab/flip gone very bad due to bad market timing, poor bahrstid took a bath.) Hope the third time's the charm for you, fairygirl!...See MoreCan I hang a Mezuzah in my kitchen entry way?
Comments (26)Thank you!1 She was so proud today when she saw it hanging in the doorway this afternoon.. sivyaleah- I hope you find yours.. when we were first married, relatives from Israel sent us a beautiful outdoor jerusalem stone mezuzah. When we sold it I couldn't remove it (the next owners were not jewish) w/o breaking it so I left it there (if they wanted to break it i would feel awful, but not as bad as If i did).. I have been looking for a new to replace it my new home, but can't seem to find any that compare. My mother went to Israel in June and brought one home for me, but it broke on the flight home so I am back to square one.. I don't have the heart to ask our relatives to pick me up a new one.. Anyone know of a good site?...See MoreRelated Professionals
