Fruit fly medium

[danswan]

Dehydrated Mashed potato flakes. AFAICT, commercial preparations are simply dehydrated potatoes with a mold inhibitor and dye so you don't accidentally eat it.

May be true. It still works better than anything you make at home.

Oh, i have those dried potato flakes that you top food with right at home, can i grind those up and moisten them with water and vinegar to prevent mold?

Medium is the singular of media, however, I think the two terms are largely interchangeable.

Ok, i just made a bit of media out of a refrigerated baked potato, i simple peeled it, mashed it, added a pinch of sugar, and a bit of vinegar till i could just barely smell it, and then mixed it up. The flies are eating it, and hopefully this non smelly alternative will wrok well What do you think?
