The hardwood chips are a waste product of many sawmills, thus sustainable and gentle to our forests. This also makes Flake Soil cheaper than white rotten wood. The maturing process takes four months and is therefore many times faster than the production of white rotten wood. To produce Flake Soil, hardwood chips, wheat bran, bacteria for inoculation and water are needed. Flake Soil is much more sustainable and cheaper Last but not least, it also provides a natural habitat for many species. Through the newly created humus, the white rotten wood protects the forest from drying out. By the way, collecting white rotten wood in the forest is not an option! For one thing, it is forbidden and there are heavy fines, and for another, the forest needs the deadwood. If the hardwood is shredded beforehand, the process can be accelerated somewhat, but it remains time-consuming and space-intensive. Decomposition can take up to three years. To produce white-rotten wood, you need freshly cut hardwood and white-rot fungi to inoculate. Lignin is a natural polymer and ensures lignification in plant cells, giving them stability and at the same time protecting the plant from microorganisms. White rot is the process of lignin degradation in wood by fungi. White rotten wood is time consumingįor a long time, white rotten wood was the main and standard food for all beetle breeders. In this way, not only are the husbandry parameters constantly optimised, but above all the quality of the food. In these competitions, winners are determined who weigh the heaviest beetle larvae. Since keeping beetles also has a long tradition in Japan, real competitions have developed there. They need little space, little attention and impress with their unusual colours and impressive shapes. Beetles are regarded there as optimal pets. In Japan, breeding beetles is a widespread hobby. This accelerates the growth of the first decomposers. In contrast to the white rot fungus, the bacteria spare the cellulose, which is an important energy supplier for the first decomposers. This was the standard until it was discovered that certain substances such as lignin are degraded far better by bacteria than by white rot moulds.
