MurphyBrown starts with ... Hello Can anyone identify the rapidly multiplying eggs or larvae in our pet poo composter? We don’t have these in our regular scrap compost bin. Thanks!

Manfred says... Really Julie? Will a picture of maggots in dog poo really enlighten us?	About the Author Manfred Wamboin 21st November 2019 10:02am #UserID: 9565 Posts: 243 View All Manfred's Edible Fruit Trees

Julie says... I don't understand your comment Manfred. There is more than one type of maggot, and not all are a problem. I'm thinking particularly of Black Soldier Fly, which is beneficial. The poster did ask if we could identify it, but without a pic that's rather difficult.

Manfred says... Thank you for educating me on those flies Julie. I did look them up on wikipedia and haven't been able to sleep since, ruminating over the horror of a diet of maggots raised on dog poo. To each his/her own, I say, but all things within reason. I'm thinking of taking up militant vegetarianism and organising a march in the streets to protest the fate of those innocent maggots?

Julie says... BSF are great for feeding fish and/or chooks. But my point was that they do no harm - in fact they really speed up the composting process.	About the Author Julie ROLEYSTONE,6111,WA 27th November 2019 8:04pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees
