Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Is there a DIY design for a biopod that basically requires you to put in food scraps(not fussed about housefly or BSF, either will do) and collect the maggots/larvae without having to stuff around moving hoses and the like on the inside?

Most of the DIY designs I've seen need you to move a pvc hose otherwise you end up with the entry hole buried in food scraps.

I want to set something up to make use of old food that would normally just go in the garbage but I don't want to have to stuff with it other than to maybe give it a monthly cleanout.

I am very time poor and lazy.

Worms???

You can build a ramp going around the inside of the biopod to the top instead of a hose.

Kind of like this unit:

Build one out of rectangular plastic box's and just put a ramp down the sides. Trap does not have to be round.

I know this is quite a late reply but, I saw this guy a while back interesting stuff might give you some ideas

Nice, I like all the pictures and interesting use of various hardware store items.

that is the one i based mine on, it works well and road kill becomes skin and bone very quickly
