Very interesting. I'd totally buy this, if the price was reasonable. I wonder if it would be possible to up the production? Two meals per week doesn't seem like very much.

Eric, there are larger pods, some the size of a small bathtub, for people who are raising grubs for large-scale chicken or fish feeding operations. The smaller units are good for composting household scraps, but for the larger size, one would have to have a sizeable source of food scraps to feed the larvae. Also, the grubs go dormant in cold weather, so the pods cannot be left outside - another reason to make smaller household pods available.
