I was wondering if anyone here has used this product? "Insect Frass" and if it would be beneficial to fig trees?

 

 

It's good for any plant.  Like worm castings it does not need to completely dry out or be sealed from air in order to keep the good microbes alive.  

Oh, man!  If this will help with killing, or at least controlling, fungus gnats, I'm all in!  Where did you hear about this, Dave?  Have you noticed any positive results with regards to killing fungus gnats, Charlie?

Thanks for sharing this, Dave.

Never used it, but been using a product called "Tanglefoot" and it has been very effective. Bought it from Amazon. You can check it out on YouTube on how it works.

I used to raise meal worms and put the frass on my blackberries mostly.  Well it started out as one plant spring of 2013...

 

Have no experience with fungus gnats but a healthy plant will pretty much take care of itself regarding most pests.  A foliar spray of brewed worm casting tea from live castings and not leachate dripped from the bottom of a worm tower, will provide pretty much the same thing as insect frass.  Bugs do not like chitinase.  

In case anybody gets the urge to raise bugs to get their own frass, it's fairly simple and there is a blog I worked on awhile back while in survival mode lol.  Links to all sorts of insect rearing fact sheets and other neat stuff. http://gourmetbugs.blogspot.com/

Yes I have learned to eat insects as a survival tool.  To be completely honest, a marinated and baked grasshopper is better than the best steak I ever ate!  They are meat, just in a different package.  Bug frass feeds the fields and forests as it has since the beginning of time.  

I bet it's pricey to buy.

I think it is a great fertilizer.....have 50+ pounds of it at the moment:)
