I started a BSFL bin for the first time this summer. I was amazed at how fast things exploded. I’ve been working on ways to feed my chickens without relying on a feed store. I hope y’all don’t think I’m crazy but I pressure canned two cases to use over the winter. I was afraid they would get mushy so I did a small test batch. They held up great and my chickens fought over them just like the live ones. They act like crackheads over the larva. I didn’t start my bin until July or I would have a lot more. This was an experiment that went very well. I used the largest heavy duty tote that I could find at lowe’s and I just bought a second one for next year. I used 1 inch pvc pipe, made two ramps one on each side. Next year one bin will keep the chickens happy and I’ll use the second bin for pressure canning for winter food.
