2ft Residential BioPod

Features:

• Faux stone appearance blends in naturally with landscaping
• Two elastic o-rings fasten lid securely to top of body
• Covered side bucket auto-collects BioGrubs™ for simple, no-hassle harvesting
• Pair of angled, 35˚ migration ramps allow for natural migration and auto-separation of grubs. Inner edge of 1" ramps possess a raised lip to guide larvae and optimize crawl-off. Ramps converge at top into a single vertical exit port.
• Protective lid cap shields top ventilation holes critical for aeration and egg laying
• Durable, heavy duty construction insures long life span and multi-year use
• Weather-resistant design protects colony from elements
• Vent slits along rim of lid help passive air flow maintaining aerobic conditions
• Powder-coated, charcoal colored metal base stand is ideal for patios and urban dwellers
• Passive drainage of compost tea into permeable ground or diversion into clear liquid collection receptacle

• Divert and digest all food scraps from smelly garbage bin, kitchen insinkerator and open-air garden composter
• Re-capture valuable lipids and proteins found in kitchen waste and transform them into usable live food for domesticated animals and wildlife
• Friable compost may be used in garden or as the ultimate worm bin food, producing casting faster than ever
• Family friendly system provides children with an education in sustainability, the cycle of life, and organic gardening
• Helps reduce carbon footprint associated with food scraps decay into methane in landfills by diversion and recycling
• Actively feeding grubs secrete a natural fly repellant called a synomone (an interspecies, chemical communication) that alerts and warns other kinds of flies to stay away from the food, since BSF are already present
• Beneficial BioGrubs™ are self-separating, auto-harvesting, robust, prolific, hardy, indigenous, harmless, easy-to-store, simple to transport, dry to the touch in pupal stage, a convenient bait, and extremely nutritious!
