🪣 How to Start BSF Farming
You don’t need any fancy tools to begin. Just get a plastic bin or drum, drill small holes at the bottom for drainage, and fill it with moist kitchen waste or market leftovers (like fruit peels, yam, pap, etc.) mixed with manure.

Place the bin under shade, and in about 5–7 days, adult BSF will likely visit to lay eggs — they’re already in our environment.
If you want faster results, buy BSF eggs or larvae online or from local farms (₦3k–₦5k per spoon of eggs). Once hatched, the larvae feed like crazy and grow in just 10–14 days.

You can harvest daily to feed your poultry or fish directly, or sun-dry and store them for later. The leftover waste (called frass) becomes excellent organic fertilizer for your crops.
