What is mealworm frass?
Mealworm frass is the naturally dried excrement (or, more simply, insect manure!) produced by mealworm larvae – the larval stage of the beetle Tenebrio molitor. This frass appears as a fine, sand-like, organic powder that's primarily digested plant material. Rich in essential plant nutrients, beneficial microbes, and tiny fragments of chitin from insect exoskeletons, mealworm frass serves as a powerful, natural fertiliser ideal for gardens and houseplants.

How does mealworm frass compare to other fertilisers?
Mealworm frass is a natural, organic fertiliser that delivers balanced, slow-release nutrients along with beneficial microbes and organic matter – qualities synthetic fertilisers simply can’t match. Compared to other popular organic fertilisers, like compost or animal manure, mealworm frass generally contains higher levels of readily available nutrients, and is much cleaner and easier to use due to its dry, odour-free form. It occupies a unique middle ground: gentle enough not to harm your plants, yet rich enough in nutrients to significantly boost growth, all while actively enhancing soil health in ways chemical fertilisers can't achieve.
