Fruit Fly Easy Mix

[clownonfire]

Cheri, I haven't tried this... But I can give you a very easy recipe that I got from Mathieu Chouteau at Understory Enterprises. I usually prepare a "stash" that can make at least 12 cultures, if not more:

1. 6 very riped bananas
2. Two jars of apple sauce (sweet)
3. 3/4 of vinegar (this will help against the mites)
4. Only if you want: 2 tbps of brewer's yeast (I have done some with and without).

Mix it, and voilÃ*! So far, it has never failed!! Whatever I don't use, I freeze it using ziplocks in "culture portions".

Like Jumper, I do add oatmeal too, for consistency. I just failed giving you the entire recipe.
