Is my fertilizer going to waste at all because they are munching it?Nope, just doing what maggots do which is to eat the type of organic material in your cakes. Next time you make your poo balls, mix in a little sevin liquid...problem solved.
Not really, they're helping to break it down to simpler compounds that the plants can utilize.Is my fertilizer going to waste at all because they are munching it?

Then no worries, I like to hear that.Not really, they're helping to break it down to simpler compounds that the plants can utilize.
I actually only let it ferment for about 12hrs overnight, so I don't think it was that lolSo gross!
I have never seen such a magget mess ever, well on dead stuff. I think you let it ferment to long.
Also after they are balled/formed... Keep them DRY! They will not produce this while they are dry. YUCK MAN!
I don't think they will hurt you, but I would definitely put some Seven or bayer in there just in case.
Wow, yeah it probably did not firmest at all in 12 hours. Ferment.I actually only let it ferment for about 12hrs overnight, so I don't think it was that lol

I noticed that many Japanese cakes don't attract flies. I don't understand what their secret is, because they also rot and smell, but the larvae don't settle on them.
No, the tea bags don't work and attract flies with their smell and rotting. I used them with soybean meal.Is this one reason why teabags are used, to keep the flies away
I think that the best is the combination of organic and inorganic. Most likely, I will completely switch to worm castings as a replacement for soybean meal, if I don't find a way to effectively scare away flies.There may be good reason to use only organics. Or stick to chemical, but build an organic component into the potting media.
