Optimal ratio of worm castings and insect frass delivers a gentle non-burning but potent slow-release macronutrient profile
Biochar creates permanent micro-pores in the soil matrix to extend microbial habitat and help with soil structure and water management
Insect frass contains chitin, which signals plants to activate their natural defense mechanism, strengthing plants and increasing resistance to pests and fungal pathogens
Contains worm castings and insect frass from worms and black soldier flies fed New Country Organics certified organic grains
Balanced Nutrition and Bio-Availability • Optimal ratio: Combination of worm castings and insect frass delivers a gentle non-burning macronutrient profile • Sustained release: nutrients are bound organically, preventing leaching and providing long term feeding • Micronutrient density: contains essential trace minerals, vitamins and enzymes missing from synthetic fertilizers
Soil Structure and Water Management • High Porosity - biochar creates permanent micro-pores in the soil matrix • Water retention - increase the soil's ability to hold water, reducing drought stress and watering frequency • Aeration: improves oxygen flow to the root zone, prevention soil compaction
Biological and Defense Simulation • Microbial Inoculation worm castings introduces billions of beneficial bacteria and fungi to revive dead soil • Chitin trigger: insect frass contains chitin, which signals plants to activate their natural defense mechanism, increasing resistance to pests and fungal pathogens • Nutrient sponge: Biochar acts as a permanent coral reef for microbes, hosting beneficial colonization right at the root zone
Directions: For potting mixes and vegetable gardens Mix 1 part amendment with 4 parts standard potting soil (20% of total blend) Application: Incorporate evenly throughout the container before planting
Raised Beds and Gardens New beds apply a 1 to 2 inch layer across the surface and till or rake into the top 6 inches of soil Existing beds: Add ¼ cup directly to the planting hole for transplants
As a top dressing for existing plants: Frequency apply once at the beginning of the growing season and once mid season Application: scratch ½ inch of the blend into the soil surface around the plant drip line and the water thoroughly
For turf and lawn dressing Application: Broadcast evenly as a rate of 10 to 20 lbs per 1,000 square feet, ideally after aeration
