Indigenous Micro Organism is IT!

Several months ago, I came across an article about Indigenous Micro Organism or IMO. These are beneficial bacteria. Hastens decomposition. I also read that they maybe good for controlling smell.  Well, I made my own home made, IMO and forgot about it.

However, when your breeding area with your Super Worms is your kitchen area, all spent or old bedding will smell awful. Yikes! haha.

That is when I remembered the IMO I made several months ago.

I started spraying this to bedding. Lo and behold!!! No more awful smell Mom! I also noticed that the worms tend to shed their old skin frequently. This means that they are growing bigger faster. 

Yoohoo!

If you want to make your own IMO, you can visit Sunshine Chicken blog on IMO.

Breeding Super Worms Pinoy Style Final Morphosis

On day 20,  the color of the beetle is already black. This signals that the beetle is ready to lay eggs.  All the black colored beetles will be transferred to a basin with 1 inch bedding.

I will allow them to stay in this basin for 15 to 30 days. Then I will be transferring them to a new basin with new bedding. 

The small plastic in the basin is cut up cup. I put a wet oats there. Make sure to check this daily as this will become rancid after 24 hours. Now I just put water and spread the oats on the bedding. 

For the next 15 days, they will be doing what they are supposed to do. Getting to know you, eat, breed, breed, and breed. Lay eggs all day. Then will have small larvae about 7 days after the the 15 to 30 days and the cycle begins again.

Pasturing White Chickens

 Several weeks ago, I came across a post from Sunshine Chicken that Doc Rey will be conducting a seminar on Raising Pastured Chickens. It so happened that my Dad is coming to Bacolod from Capiz and this is an opportunity for bonding.

This was sponsored by Negros Island Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Foundation, Inc. (NISARD). 

The seminar room was almost full and the organizer had to add more seats to accommodate the attendees. The seminar conducted by Doc Rey was very informative, animated and lively. The three hours seemed short. It's the first time that I noticed that you can actually put video clips in a Power Point presentation. Didn't know that. Great presentation. So, after 21 days of brooding, the chickens are let to pasture. What struck me most are couple of slides. Pastured chickens will almost eat everything. They will eat worms. The slide showed earthworms being fed to the chickens. I believe they will also eat Super Worms. Yehey! 

Buro Buro Calamansi Juice Mint Flavor

     I didn't expect snacks will be served. You should check out Buro Buro Springs Calamansi Juice. It was served cold and had a familiar flavor to it. I read carefully the level and found out its Mint Flavor. Very refreshing indeed.

     Thank you to Sunshine Chicken. 

Breeding Super Worms Pinoy Style Part 3

Success!!!   It is day 16 after we segregated the Super Worms to their individual container. 


I included the picture I took on Day 15 for you to know what 1 day can make.


I also added a slide show here and the pictures there are the photos I took in the from day 6.


Let us see when this darkling beetle turns to a black color. This will mean that it is mature enough to lay eggs.
