Basically, all you need to do is bury the larvae into your compost pile. They thrive in moist, dark environments, but as they pupate, will make their way to the surface. The soldier fly larvae will eat twice their body weight daily, reducing your waste by up to 50%.

This method is more effective than traditional composting which is time-consuming, and machine composting which has high electricity consumption. BSFL reduces organic waste within a shorter period (7 days) as these larvae can quickly consume and decompose large amounts of such waste until they reach the pre-pupae stage.

Composting with Black Soldier Flies produces leachate which seeps out into the surrounding soil ready for your plants and worms to turn it into composted soil. When you water your garden the leachate mixes with water to make nutrients available for your plants.
