How you like them maggots?  Kind of interesting, I had passed this little farm building before and thought it smelled like a combo of sewage and a brewery.  Caught a dude there the other day.  He's using compost and used brewer's yeast to grow black fly maggots, which are then fed to the chickens.  It uses people's discarded table scraps, the chickens devour the maggots, and they're a high source of protein and generally better for the chickens then conventional feed.  He's trying to expand this so that anyone can come get some if they keep chickens.

 

Pretty gross if you really think how the food trickles uphill until you can turn it into a doodoo.

Shit's growing now.  Grew this basil, not supposed to be mammoth basil but sure looks it.  Got 3 types of tomatoes growing, Chinese squash, watermelon, 3 types of peppers, mountain strawberries.  Expanded my wild berry patch so it's many feet long and tall as me.

 

This is amazing, nice work dude.
