Black Soldier Fly Larvae Frass
Contains Nutrients And Chitin For Stronger, Healthier Plants.
TARGET: Soils that need amending. DESCRIPTION: This high quality frass is a byproduct of Black Soldier Fly larvae and contains their waste, exoskeletons and leftover food. BSF larvae are voracious eaters and will thoroughly and efficiently break down decaying plant and other materials as they feed. In this process, they release nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrients. As the larvae eat and mature, they grow and molt. This molting process leaves bits of exoskeleton, called chitin, in their frass. Plants react to chitin in the soil as if there are insects present. In response, they make themselves stronger by producing bigger and healthier parts and fortifying their overall cell structure. Their insect defense translates into more bountiful plants for you. SUGGESTED USE: Can be used on anything grown indoors or outdoors. Mix into soil or growing medium or add as a top dress to plantings. Apply at a rate of one cup frass to one cubic foot of soil mix. 1300420 Black Soldier Fly Larvae Frass - 1 lb. $9.85
ARBICO Organics® Earthworms -
Eisenia fetida
A Natural Way To Aerate Your Soil & Fertilize Your Garden.
TARGET: Use in soil or vermicomposting. DESCRIPTION: These red wigglers are nature’s decomposers and soil aerators. They consume organic matter and turn it into castings full of nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, magnesium and calcium. As they move through the soil, they break it up and introduce beneficial bacteria and oxygen. This stimulates fungal activity and more rapid breakdown of organic matter. Plants love soil that these worms have been in! SUGGESTED USE: Use 2-3 worms/sq. ft. 1,000 worms cover approximately 400 sq. ft. 1308003 ARBICO Organics Earthworms (≈1,000) $45.00
