I have been growing organic for the last 3 seasons now and loving it! With most things in life I don't feel you can master it but only try to improve from the previous attempt. I have been reading many good things about insect frass (insect poop) including it fighting pest along with fertilizing. The cost is rather expensive online (around $11/lb) but I happen to keep silkworms for my reptiles in the summer months when the mulberry trees are in bloom. Silkworms only eat mulberry leaves or food derived from mulberry leaves. *Feeding lots of silkworms equals lots of frass (poop) and I was wondering if anyone else had tried using frass particularly silkworm frass. *The silkworms eat fresh mulberry leaves 3x a day if you look closely in the photos your can see the dried up bits of uneaten stems and leaves. *Since the leaf material is from a healthy mulberry I dont this it should be a problem but if anyone thinks else wise please tell me. I am currently using it as a top dressing.So as mentioned I more frass than I can use and if anyone else is interested and sharing their results Ill be more than happy to donate to the cause a pound or two just pay the shipping (probably $5-6 in the US) just shoot me a pm and thanks in advance for any replys*
