The cricket habitats are shoe-box size standard plastic totes. The cricket food is restaurant scraps plus newspaper.<br /><br />I imagine the CRAFT CRICKETS food cost is nearly zero.<br />I estimate they produce several dozen # of edible crickets daily.<br /><br />I sampled their products. You look at a handful of bugs, but they are dehydrated or fried or baked with garlic and cinnamon and all the usual spices.<br /><br />I'm here to testify I will eat them by the bowlful anytime.

We grow our food, something more than gardening, but less then farming; and one of the first programs was to plant stuff such as horseradish, sage, and thyme. This enables us to more nearly enjoy a diet of goat and wheat. The situation is much more complex than here presented (we raise several species of food animals), but makes the point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-63302491069208628092019-05-11T05:45:32.398-07:002019-05-11T05:45:32.398-07:00Don't worry, people are still scratching their...Don't worry, people are still scratching their heads over the "kg"James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-79556402616904621352019-05-11T05:44:14.308-07:002019-05-11T05:44:14.308-07:00With the hopper on it the Corona can go almost two...With the hopper on it the Corona can go almost two pints wheat.

Can you put casters on a pallet so you can wheel em around and get em out of the way? Can 1 dood even roll a 1 ton pallet is it permanent party wherever you put it?<br /><br />I got a small bag of red wheat last year, Bob's Red mill I think. Put a couple tables spoons in my small elect coffee grinder and I thought it blew the blades. I ran it for about 30 seconds but the result was no where near regular flour in fineness. Tried to bit one of the little pebbles from the bag. Nearly snapped a molar, hard as a rock. <br /><br />I looked at the Corona, man that thing is small. Only hold a cup or so. And you have to grind it 3 times? Whoa. How much flour for a loaf of bread - 3,4 cups right? That'll take all day to grind. Just for bread. There's got to be a better way. Is there a way to eat the wheat without grinding it? Maybe boil it, like cream of wheat? Will those berries soften if soaked in water? Looking for solutions here. ghostsnipernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-85117295958335393612019-05-10T19:29:54.820-07:002019-05-10T19:29:54.820-07:003:27-no plan survives contact with the enemy, eith...3:27-no plan survives contact with the enemy, either.
