FEATURES & BENEFITS

Prosumer / Homestead ProtaPod Composting System: 4 foot polyethylene (bodies only). These have the bioconversion capacity of 4-5+ of the smaller BioPod Plus units and can accept approx. 20-25+ lbs per day. These updated units do NOT include the old metal stand and problematic drainage kit. If you have a source of food waste, offal or manure, you can quickly offset your purchases of store-bought feed by growing huge quantities of grubs for your chickens or fish. Self-reliance meets sustainability meets recycling meets insect farmer!
These are similar in design to the old GEN I ProtaPods bodies, but with some drainage support enhancements - they are being made available for DIY setups in limited quantities only. These newer units no longer include filters, collection jars, tubes, etc. We can now nest up to 12 pods on a single pallet. Use matala, perforate plates or coir fiber mats with gravel underneath to promote bottom drainage. In order to maintain maximum flexibility with both imperial and metric plumbing fixtures, we no longer pre-drill the bottom drainage hole(s). Each pod weighs 24 lbs. A comprehensive 30+ User's Guide & Operations E-Manual is available at no additional cost.

5 of 5 Excellent Product and Service May 24, 2023
Reviewer: Chris Bodley from Somerville, AL United States  
I took a chance from a Google search and ordered the Protapod for harvesting black soldier flies.  I must say that I absolutely love it!  

After placing my order, a representative contacted me and walked me through the entire process, to include shipping arrangements.  The representative even offered to send me instructions and tutorials on how to setup the Protapod once it arrived.  The representative also notified me once the Protapod had shipped and again when it arrived at the pick-up destination.    

I'm thoroughly happy with the service and support I received from Tar River Trading Post, and I highly recommend the Protapod to anyone who's looking to harvest black soldier flies.
