Description 1L Bag - Certified Organic Sassy Frass is insect manure sourced from farming Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL); used in an innovative process to reduce organic waste. Like any manure, it's a concentrated source of nutrients. Frass is naturally rich and promotes beneficial soil fungi & builds healthy soil. But unlike other manures, frass contains a compound called chitin (pronounced "Kite-in"). Plants have a valuable relationship with chitin; it stimulates receptors to act defensively - thickening cell walls to deter attack. This reaction is beneficial - stimulating stronger growth less susceptible to pests and disease, creating more robust plants. Growth trials have shown frass increases plant health and drought resistance. Application Rates: Sprinkle a small handful (approx. 100gms) around existing plants. For new garden beds, incorporate 100-200gms/m2 into the top 150mm of soil. Always water and mulch well to preserve soil biology. If adding in potting mixes, use at around 2% of volume.
