Insect frass, or poop, is well-known to be one of the best things to give your plants. Our frass comes directly from the Superworms we raise and has the the same qualities of other frass including mealworm frass. Insect frass naturally contains the nutrition plants require, beneficial micro-organisms, and the only immediately plant-available source of chitin (pronounced “Kite-in”). Chitin fortifies a plant from the inside out, causing an “auto-immune” response that signals a plant to produce natural toxins which fend off its natural enemies like pests and fungal pathogens. The EPA says that chitin and chitosan defend against botrytis (grey mold), powdery mildew, early and late blight, fungal pathogens in the root zone (root rot) and root-feeding nematodes. Contains small particles of superworm castings, or shed skin, that cannot be filtered out, but this will only increase the amount of chitin within the fertilizer.

Pre-MixAdd 1 cup of Frass per cubic foot (or 7 gallons) of planting media prior to planting. It should be less than 1% by volume. Beginning in week 4, top dress or root drench weekly.HydroponicsAdd 2 cups of Frass per 30 gallons of water (strain for drip systems). Top dress any grow media (Coco, Clay Pellets, etc.) Add directly to reservoir for ebb and flow or flood to drain systems. Top DressSprinkle over root zone and water in thoroughly. Root DrenchAdd between 1 tablespoon and a 1/2 cup of Frass per gallon of water. Foliar FeedAdd 4 teaspoons of Frass for each gallon of water (1 teaspoon per quart). Shake and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain and apply. Compost TeaAdd 1 cup per 15 gallons of tea (1 tablespoon per gallon) to achieve a fungal dominant tea. Apply as a root drench.
