Thanks for the information. I like the idea of your bug house! I did a search for a bio matter press on google and didn't find such a tool. Is it known by another name? Can you post the brand name, model/type so I can search for the specific device. Also, can you provide more details on how you make the feed, e.g., raw verses dried veggie matter, bugs raw or dried, additives, etc?
This is very interesting and I would love to learn more about this topic. I'm not ready to go here yet, but this is something for the future. Thanks, Emory
Fascinating Carey! Considering it from the commercial side of things, I agree it may not be profitable for a business to do, but as far as a direction for small, backyard systems to go to be sustainable, holy cow! You are doing incredible work. Thanks again.
My wife started a juice diet. Basically she juices all vegetables and drinks juice all the time. Anyway I have a lot of vegetables leftovers here. Can I turn it into tilapia food somehow?
We recently tried this, feeding our fish the juice mash. Our koi & goldfish were more interested than the tilapia. We will keep trying different mixes.
I am going to try Sylvia's tilapia feed for my next purchase. I supplement the feed with carrot tops and bok choi, which they seem to like. I give it to them whole and green (not dried), they eat it all. I will keep trying other plants, as well. Most of my plant material goes into my worm bin

It would be great to get some feed recipes.
Does anyone have recipes for Koi or Comet goldfish?

See if they will eat it, If not it will make great worm or BSF larva food.

Biomatter press... Look up pellet mills. They make many types and sizes. One company here in the US is Pellet Pros.
