I've noted with various compost piles over time that if black soldier fly larvae appear in quantity, I lose a lot of compost volume...so much that I am concerned that what would be compost is flying away as insects, seeping into the ground as bug urine, or otherwise disappearing somehow. Are my concerns warranted? My goal is to have as much compost for my vegetable beds as possible. Note I do not have chickens to take advantage of the situation. My inputs are primarily vegetative waste from the annual garden, kitchen scraps, and leaves.
Thanks in advance for your thoughtful reply!
