ARBICO Organics® Earthworms -
Eisenia fetida
A Natural Way To Aerate Your Soil & Fertilize Your Garden.
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

DTE Insect Frass, 3-1-1
A 100% Natural Insect-Based Fertilizer.
DESCRIPTION: This organic fertilizer comes from sustainable insect farming and contains the waste and exoskeletons of Black Soldier Fly larvae. Raised solely on pre-consumer food waste, these larvae produce an excrement (frass) that’s full of nutrients and chitin (bits of exoskeleton left over from molting). Plants respond to chitin as if there are insects present and make themselves stronger to fight off the perceived threat. The result is bigger and healthier plants. The combination of nutrients and chitin makes this an exceptional product. OMRI listed and CDFA registered. SUGGESTED USE: Can be used for vegetable gardens, outdoor containers, trees and shrubs. Vegs: New plants: 1-2 lbs/100 sq ft or 1-2 tbsp/each hole. Side dress 1-2 oz on established plants. Outdoor containers: New plants: 1-2 tbsp/gal soil or 1 cup/cu ft. Mix 1-2 tbsp/gal on established plants. Trees/ Shrubs: New trees: prepare transplant hole and mix 1-2 cups with backfill soil. Spread1 lb/1 inch of trunk diameter around the base of established trees/ shrubs.
