Come on chicken, larveas are ready to be eaten !   We've started a larvea production to feed the coming chicken. But not any larvea : black soldier fly larvea. Nice and fat larvea which are reproduced by billion. That is a cheap way to feed your chicken, and moreover with quality.   Black soldier fly are not dangerous at all, they are really descret, we rarely see them. The flies only live during hot season, so in Senegal it's perfect to have a production all over the year.   For more info click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnfkW4WgtG8" target="_blank">HERE</a>.   <img alt="1-1449144836" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257159/1-1449144836.JPG" />   <img alt="5-1449145014" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257163/5-1449145014.JPG" />   <img alt="7-1449145173" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257166/7-1449145173.JPG" />   <img alt="8-1449145242" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257168/8-1449145242.JPG" />   <img alt="Dsc_2432-1449145300" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257169/DSC_2432-1449145300.JPG" />   <img alt="Sans_titre-1449145480" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/257171/Sans_titre-1449145480.png" />

You'll find here pictures of the invesstments we made for the drip line : eletric water pump, a generator, water tanks and the drip line with 195 droppers (or drippers?). And we still have the drip line of last year with 150 drippers. The water pump scared us a bit, because it didn't work at all at the beginning, but luckily it was because of the sand it has swallowed. And the generator has only one fuse on three that works, so we have to find new ones quite quickly, but of course it will be a bit complicated to find it here, so hopefully mother in law will bring a package from France.<img alt="Dsc_2328_-_copie-1443276039" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/235623/DSC_2328_-_Copie-1443276039.JPG" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><img alt="Dsc_2337_-_copie-1443276159" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/235624/DSC_2337_-_Copie-1443276159.JPG" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><img alt="Dsc_2330_-_copie-1443276177" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/235625/DSC_2330_-_Copie-1443276177.JPG" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><img alt="Dsc_2335_-_copie-1443276192" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/235626/DSC_2335_-_Copie-1443276192.JPG" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />

Voilà un article parut ce lundi 22 juin sur notre asso La Lisière. Merci à Maxime Huteau pour cet article!   Bon juste quelques erreurs : ce n'est pas jeunesse ambition, mais JEM pour Jeunesse en Mission, et nous sommes pas allé en Irlande du nord mais on est allé en Scandinavie et dans les payas baltes.   <img alt="Capture_plein__cran_25062015_113821.bmp-1435230514" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/213421/Capture_plein__cran_25062015_113821.bmp-1435230514.jpg" />

Do you like stupid videos?
