Kaleido Red RiceDelight

A Kaleido  Luncheon

worthy of a Queen

Made of  rice red

fitness filled - fit

even for an emperor...

yet not expensive

that anyone can afford

if paid attention 

and got the right stuff

Can have a feast

for all five senses

to serve and share

to fill and flow

from Heart to Soul!

Compost Crop

Compost FOOD Crop

Composting Kitchen waste and more for a few years now.... Trying to be Organic and all. Started with buying the whole Composting container with the innoculum fom a neighbor with specific instruction not to put Onion in the compost.

So we had been enjoying our own Black Gold brightening our gardening and we saw earthworms. But never added vermi stuff & didn't feel the need. We often find tropical fruit seedlings take off through the slits or vent holes as soon as Spring hits. These included mangoes, Papayas, Pomegrantes and this year even Pinnapple.

As my Hubby was openning the Compost to surprise me with the Pinnapple Sprout... I was taken a-back by these fatty little critters wiggling and crawling all over in the compost. I thought ' Oh, no.... this looks like the end of composting and Eathworms!

I forgot at that moment my Experiential belief that Nature is much more intelligent than the scientist. Nature comes out a winner again - as I researched to find what these little critters are.... I was thoroughly impressed. These are the underdog Express Composters at work.

How did we get them? We are lucky our Composting system has attracted the Black Soldier flies. These wigglers are Larvae of Black Soldier flies (not harmful or not the sit on poop & sit on food kind)) and they chomp up everything from kitchen compost to animal wastes including bacteria that you shouldn't be worried about Ecoli in your organic compost. What an incentive!!!

That's not all.... As these Larvae ( maggots) eat and grow fat they become a great source of Protein and fat. Their protein content is higher than that of Soy. So why waste time and money with Soy based food for pets? 

Have you bought mealworms to feed your backyard birds? These are like that. Do you know these BSLarvae/ Maggots are like M&Ms for chickens and they make great feed for fish too?! 

I won't be surprised if these High Protein dudes end up on Exquisite dinning Restaurante platters. There are critters and maggots consumed already as a good Proteing source. This one definitely beats all Nature/s ingenius designs: Compost to straight FOOD....  

Wow, imagine from Kichen Garbage to - a month Compost break - become FOOD back into Pan & Platter! Bon appétit!

P.S._ We realized we have inadvertantly killed one or two Black Soldier flies with Fly swat - as they look like black wasps. They have an ANXed flying pattern and were hovering over us as we were mixing compost with soil. Now we know why they were hovering around. Sorry friends.... RIP!
