Vital Garden Supply Insect Frass

Insect frass is rich in chitin, which triggers a plant's natural auto-immune response. When the plant detects chitin, it 'thinks' it is being attacked by insects and strengthens its cell walls and defense mechanisms, making it less appealing to actual pests and fungal pathogens.

With an NPK ratio of 2-2-2, this product provides balanced, gentle nutrition, but it is best used as a supplement or soil amendment rather than a primary high-potency fertilizer. It excels at improving soil biology and plant resilience rather than providing a heavy nutrient load.

Yes, this product is organic and safe for use around pets and children. It is a natural biological amendment, not a harsh chemical pesticide.

This powder is highly versatile. You can mix it directly into your soil or potting medium, use it as a top dressing, or brew it into a compost tea for easier application. It is also water-soluble, making it suitable for foliar sprays.

While you can apply it directly to the soil, brewing it into a compost tea is an excellent way to multiply the beneficial bacteria and fungi before application. This helps inoculate your soil more effectively than a dry application alone.
