Grow Your Own Chicken Feed??? Recycle kitchen waste in your backyard...
...create nutritious Chicken Feed & Fertile Soil!
For me, the decision to recycle my kitchen waste was an easy one. I produce my own Free Feed for my chickens, Free Soil for my garden, and I'm Reducing Waste for the environment. My question was:
How is the BioPod different from other composters?
Typically, people buy feed for their chickens and throw their kitchen waste in the garbage or down the disposal. The problem is... this approach costs you money and wastes your left over food. There is a way to turn the food scraps on your plate into highly nutritious food for your chickens and your garden. Normal composters work well if you're looking only for soil and you're willing to wait several weeks for organic materials to decompose into soil. Up until the launch of the patented BioPod, there was no practical way for your chickens to benefit from a composter. Chickens will eat almost anything, but they certainly won't eat soil! The BioPod offers two huge improvements, that no other composter can deliver. First, the BioPod is able to process organic kitchen waste into soil in 1 day when other composters take over a week. If you raise chickens, the composting speed might be interesting, but I think you're going to get really excited about the second benefit... Believe it or not, at the same time that the BioPod is producing soil for your garden, it's also producing one of the most nutritious chicken foods around! Okay, if I'm being honest, my first reaction was probably the same as yours ... GROSS! But hold on for a second, the beautiful thing is that the BioPod does all of the food collection for you! All you have to do is throw your kitchen scraps in the top and then use the food collection bucket when you're ready to feed your flock. My wife was ready to kill me when I mentioned I was going to grow grubs in the backyard, but the BioPod makes the feed production simple, clean and out of sight. It's also saved us money on chicken feed and helped our gardens produce some of the best vegitbles and flowers we have ever seen! BioPod Features: - Faux stone appearance blends in naturally with landscaping
- Two elastic o-rings fasten lid securely to top of body
- Covered side bucket auto-collects soldier grubs for simple, no-hassle harvesting
- Pair of angled, 35˚ migration ramps allow for natural migration and auto-separation of grubs. Inner edge of 1" ramps possess a raised lip to guide larvae and optimize crawl-off. Ramps converge at top into a single vertical exit port.
- Protective lid cap shields top ventilation holes critical for aeration and egg laying
- Durable, heavy duty construction insures long life span and multi-year use
- Weather-resistant design protects colony from elements

BioPod Benefits: - Efficiently and cleanly digest all food scraps from your smelly garbage bin instead of relying on your kitchen insinkerator or open-air garden composter
- Re-capture valuable lipids and proteins found in kitchen waste and transform them into usable live food for domesticated animals and wildlife
- Friable compost may be used in garden or as the ultimate worm bin food, producing casting faster than ever
- Family friendly system provides children with an education in sustainability, the cycle of life, and organic gardening
- Helps reduce carbon footprint associated with food scraps that decay into methane in landfills by diversion and recycling
- Actively feeding grubs secrete a natural fly repellant called a synomone (an interspecies, chemical communication) that alerts and warns other kinds of flies to stay away from the food, since BSF are already present
- Beneficial soldier grubs are self-separating, auto-harvesting, robust, prolific, hardy, indigenous, harmless, easy-to-store, simple to transport, dry to the touch in pupal stage, a convenient bait, and extremely nutritious!
