Hi all
I have just found out about Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, aka Pheonix worms.
For those that don't know they will turn poultry waste and food scraps into self harvesting, high protein grubs!

I have found somewhere you can buy them but they seem a bit pricey;

Is anyone in Bristol growing them already? Could I harvest a few?
Thanks
