I've got a compost heap and a compost bin. One day we had some left over cauliflower which was already boiled. We put it in the bin. One day later I wanted to throw in some coffee grindings and I saw that the cauliflower was covered with black springtails. I picked up the pieces of cauliflower and tapped on them while holding them above my terrestrial setup. It was raining springtails all over.
I've tried this with different kinds of boiled vegetables and it works especially good with cauliflower. I put some pieces in the rabbit pen on the mixture of hay and droppings. The pieces were this time totally covered with them. Springtail overkill. This way I don't have to thin out my springtails culture in the compost. Nice and easy way to harvest them from now on.
