hey! this is an odd question and i understand that it may not be practical but the thought experiment is rolling around the back of my brain and i was hoping to get the opinion of someone who knows more about the topic than i do.
so i have heard of folks using BSF in their summertime outdoor toilet systems to keep waste from piling up at festivals and such, or i saw one guy was transferring their own waste to their outdoor bin, but what really intrigues me is the idea of managing a fully indoor bin where human waste is deposited directly into the bin. i understand that you would have to manage a rotating breeding population of adults in some sort of enclosure indoors as well to continuously repopulate the bin in the winter, or have a gateway to the outdoors for adults to access the pod and lay eggs but it still seems like the reward of not having to empty your composting toilet every week and getting a small harvest of pupae all year round from a waste stream that otherwise doesn’t really get utilized might be worth the effort.
is there some reason that this system would definitely not work? the indoor temperature of the house could be kept 70+ degrees and the bin would create a bit of its own warmth to my understanding, and i have seen people make small breeding enclosures out of mesh to collect eggs indoors. i would assume a small pod like those commercially available that are fully enclosed and have a ramp for harvesting grubs could potentially handle the solid waste from four people, and you would need to devise a urine diverter much like our current compost toilet has. inquiring minds want to know, and folks who have to empty their compost toilets weekly want to find an alternative.
