How to use our fertilizer
Shoulder Seasons
In the spring, a few weeks before planting, cast frass all over your growing area then cover with mulch.
​
In the late summer, before your fall plantings, do the same.

approx. 1 lb/20-32 sq ft

Transpanting
When transplanting place a scoop of frass into the planting hole and mix with growing medium.
When transplanting trees show restraint. Over-fertilizing can limit root growth.
​
Recommended:
2 tsp - 1 tbsp for annuals
2-3 tbsp for perenials

Seed Starting
Once the true leaves have formed we recommend using a frass tea and bottom watering your seedlings. Do this once every 3rd to 4th watering.

Growing
Throughout the growing season experiment using frass as a tea, foliar spray, and top dress. This can be used weekly for heavy feeders and as a spray for pests and disease. Don't worry, you wont burn your plants. Enjoy your bounty!

*wait until true leaves form to use frass tea*
Frass Tea
Your insect frass fertilizer will include tea bags. Use and re-use them every time you want to make tea. Steep for 6-12 hours.
Note: steeping too long will cause and anaerobic reaction to occur as the bacteria in the frass will consume all the oxygen in the water. This will lead to a foul smell. It is still good to use but can be off putting.
