As I have a lot of feedstock to put in my outdoor bins, I have noticed that the BSF's are still here in mass, especially if the feed heats up the bin. My indoor bins, also still have these creatures when the bins are fed something that heats up.
They are no nuisance and are voracious consumers of raw OM.

It appears then that heat is the important factor in keeping them interested - (the fertilizer also of course). As my composting is done out of doors - where we now have minimum temps of about 40, that may not be an option.

However, as my orange peelings aren't too great either, perhaps my best solution would be to wait until the summer weather and/or fallen fruit to try the solution again. As it is new to me, tho, I wanted to get someones experience with these method of composting.

I can bury the peelings in the compost, but it seems to take longer than the regular stuff in the pile, unless I grind it in the shredder along with the yard stuff. However, if I keep the peels around, before I get around to it, they can get a bit "obnoxious." I hate to give them to the city waste collectors, they might start charging me for a bigger trash pick-up container. L.
