标题: maggot (2) [打印本页] 作者: Jackson 时间: 2004-12-8 09:59 标题: maggot (2) <P>The key-word is control -- your control. You must
control the process, and monitor the
development of the maggots, from start to finish.
If you do what I'vc known anglers to do -- that
is Ieave a couple of pigs' hearts in a tray down
the garden -- you will end up with a mess.
You'll discover one day a mass of different
types and sizes of maggot swarming over the
remains of the feed. These maggots are
useless, so if you want to breed your own, do it
properly.
Some anglers are convinced that the
gozzer is the lava of a special fly. It's been my
expcrience that the bluebottle fly lays the eggs
which grow into scrumphous gozzers. There
is another fly as big as the blucbottle, but
with a black shiny colour. I suspect most
commercial maggots are bred from this one,
although the best come from the bluebottle.
Breeding them yourself; you can make sure
only blucbottles lay eggs on your meat.
How do you accomplish this? It's not as
difficult as you might imagine. Once you've
put some meat dowfl in a sunny corner of the
garden, you simply sit down with a cane in
your hand and wait. If any shiny-blacks,
greenbottles, houscflies or anything more
exotic buzz into the container where the meat
lies you chase them with the cane. There's no
other way. Leave it to chance and you'll end
up with the writhing mess I described a
moment ago.
l use a deep plastic tub. The meat is put
into this on its own. Don't surround it in bran(to be continued)
