Understanding This Information More
BSFL grubs themselves are actually pretty resilient and don’t fully die unless they freeze to death. Composting material gives off quite a bit of heat and the GrubCone™ itself is dual-walled. So can you actually find live grubs in the cone for a pretty long time throughout the year? But cooler temperatures significantly slow activity, and therefore the grubs digestion of the waste, making the unit not as productive. A unit will stay fully productive as long as daytime temps get to 75°F. Temperatures for mating adults cannot drop much below 70°F at night and they are most active in like the 80°F to 95°F daytime temps. Since it’s the mating that produces the eggs and the eggs that produce the larvae… there will be a reduction in new eggs being deposited in the cone except for in much warmer times of the year… basically reducing grub production from lack of new eggs being introduced. In Haiti for instance or extreme south Florida, it’s entirely possible for the units to run fully efficiently 12 months of the year. As you go north, the yield expectations drop quickly and in fact, will be zero in inland northern states or the furthest northeast states.Features
Key features of the GrubCone™.
The GrubCone™ is no accident. Out of a passion to serve the people of Haiti, we decided to start placing our chicken coops at schools in Canaan, outside of Port-au-Prince. A sustainable method to feed the chickens was required, en voilà… GrubCones™. Two years of development and testing culminated in a patent-pending design that is functional and interesting to look at. Shipping is normally a killer on these sorts of devices, so it was made to flat pack and be assembled as a DIY kit by the purchaser.
