		<description><![CDATA[Once the BSF are established the result is a nearly odor-free process, but in the beginning it's best to have a strong odor so the females can locate the unit. I like using fermented corn because even though it has a strong odor I don't find it as offensive as most rotting food. It's not a smell that I necessarily like, but it's one I can live with during the set up phase and once I've got a dense colony I can go back to the normal, mild and pleasant odor of a balanced BSF composter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Starting my third year with the black soldier fly I&#8217;m going into this season with a small colony made up of grubs that were laid last fall. Where I live the winters are mild so it was fairly easy to maintain the colony through the cool months. At the end of last summer my BioPod [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I put out my first bucket of food scraps to attract black soldier flies in the spring of 2007. I soon observed the adult flies laying eggs in my bucket so I assumed that in a few days I would see larvae. The literature I&#8217;ve read states that BSF eggs will hatch in roughly 100 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As soon as I realized that black soldier flies were present around my home I put some food scraps into a bucket with a lid and cut a few small holes into the sides. BSF will crawl through a small opening to access a food source for their eggs. They don&#8217;t eat in their winged [...]]]></description>
