Fruit Flies
Posted: Tue 19-Jul-2022, 09:34
Hey Guys,
We’re using a hungry bin. It’s kept in our shop which is shady and cool 15-20 degrees usually. Worms seem very happy and can see some castings all over the place. But constant fruit flies in our bin seems to be the issue. Do their eggs look like little white specs?
We recently let the bin sit without feeding for over two weeks until all fresh food was broken down but flies still persist.
I added some fresh veggie scraps yesterday and gave a good Biochar dusting. Smells very fresh and earthy in there which is good.
Any tips on reducing the fruit flies? Andrew told me overfeeding can cause them to start. So have been really slow on adding new stuff.
