Fruit flies on the cheap

[vince]

Right the culture of fruit flies has been explained in detail previously but I have just tweaked it first of all a packet of the cheapest instant mash you can get, then half the quantity of potato, the cheapest dried milk you can get, and finally half this amount in sugar. Stir this dried mix up and store in a air tight container then just use as much as you want not forgetting to add the brewers yeast at the end. Use old coffee jars or jam jars with a bit of medium on the bottom. We are all aware of identity theft, then use your old visa bills bank statements placed through a shredder ideal for the flies to pupate on.To do it really cheaply place a banana outside in a jar on a hot day and wait for the flies to turn up don't forget these buggers fly ,be careful where you use them.
