can i add honey to the mix?
i read the flys have nothing to eat for a few days until the yeast has time to work or something?is this true?i was reading that putting small slice of apple in there is a good idea?Ther's no real need, just use the mix that I use. Remember that starch is a sugar anyway

Maybe you added too much vinegar?My last batch with potato, fruit juice, lemon juice and honey started showing the first signs of mold today. Im not sure where to get methyl parabin, but I wont be using vinegar anymore. I mixed up a potato batch with vinegar and used it to transfer a small culture that had become too runny though it was teeming with hundreds of maggots. The maggots all pupated in the new culture but the vinegar caused all the casters to die before hatching. I mixed up two more batches of the potato fruit juice medium today. I added a few drops of vodka on top and a slice of apple this time to speed up the egg laying process as much as possible since I was forced to buy an order of flies to make up for all the dead casters. We'll see how it turns out.
