I use two trashcans and #tinktube pipe and brackets to make a simple (???) Black Solider Fly Larvae #BSFL #composting bin. I installed the bin in my neighbor's chicken coop and negotiated with the #chickens to get them to eat the larvae. It took a few minutes and several modifications to convince them the bugs were really chicken candy.

Tinktube Parts List:
(1) 92" pipe – PT-92-BK
(3) T-Connectors – HJ-1
(1) 3-Way Cross Connector – HJ-4
(7) Plastic End Cap – AP-ICAP
(1) Rubber Foot – AF-RUB
(2) Pipe Clamps, Single Mount – AO-EMT1
(1 Box) Self Tapping screws – FA-A85/8

If you plan to buy conduit locally, omit the pipe and purchase:
(8) 3/4 Inch EMT Adaptors – EMT-ADPTR34
If you select "3/4 EMT" when selecting the fittings, the adaptors are automatically added to your order. Also note the end caps and foot won't fit the conduit.

Other parts needed:
– Trashcans
– Metal drip edge or flashing
– Scrap plastic
– Inner tube or strap
– S-hook
