Post subject:  Black Soldier Fly Nockypod

Well as mentioned in the other thread I am building a Biopod (Nockypod :mrgreen: ) almost complete as we type, at this stage it has cost me a grand total of $0 as made from leftovers lying around the yard, but 1 large and 1 small snap lock lid bucket (Local chicken treat sells the 20lt buckets that they get margarine in for $5) some 1/2" avery wire (about 15" square) and about the same amount of foam sponge, about 1mt or so of 40mm PVC, 1 x 40mm elbow and some cardboard and some very technical interior designing, as mentioned in the other thread it is the internals that will make it work...............hopefully, but will be finished this arvo or in the morning (if work stays this quiet), will post a pic of the finished effort but the internals will be like KFC, until it is proven to work anyhow, may need to warm up a bit, but have BSF in my worm farm now anyhow.............stay tuned
Hopefully will get some production until the BYAP one is on the market, or I may give Joel a sneek peek at my design :mrgreen:

I voted 2, only because I think you are a dipstick. However I cannot say whether it will work or not.

Isn't this how polititions phrase their questions in order to get the answer they want?

ie:
If it meant you got $4300 per week tax free, would you agree that murdering innocent puppies was a good policy?

see?

That being said? plans or pics would enable better answering of poll.

With all the talk over the past year or so, I'm surprised anybody doesn't know what BSF is! Do a search, there's heaps of threads.

well scott BSF are Black Soldier Flies, generally grown and harvested in a Biopod, as Biopods are hard to get ATM I am building one and have called it Nockypod

Cheers Nocky

Sorry my bad. Serves my right for posting after a few beers :drunken:
I know what BSF are and I'm familiar with the biopod.
Just not sure what the proposed NockyPOD is going to look like...

Post subject:  Re: Black Soldier Fly Nockypod

work still in the way :roll: but all going together tomorrow, waiting for a hole saw from Perth, I found three failed home made jobs on google after flicking through many pages, have taken the best part of 3 different designs and made this effort, should be able to post pics tomorrow.

AJ everyone is entitled to an opinion that's why option 2 is there, I'm not seeking any answer really, and questions are not written in any particular way to get any response I wont, the poll is there for a bit of humor as that's the way I am, I don't see anything in your example, the thread is about BSF's and not politics,
