I'm making things to add to the coop. More to come soon.

The clay was too much for my Tiller. The fresh top soil I added was too tempting for my chickens. The clearance berry bushes were twigs. I now have a nice rock garden that may have a bush or two if the birds leave it alone. I should have just bought more chickens. Lol
The raised beds will be getting fences before I plant.......if Monk ever gets out of them!

My heart is full and we are blessed. Our love for animals and nature is why we started selling mealworms and worm castings fertilizer.

What is Fertilizer?

We are selling 1 lb of worm castings/fertilizer for $11.00 to help raise funds for our church. Here is a Q & A from our church member Isla.
Why does a church need money?

Insect frass is a brilliant fertiliser and biostimulant for use in rooting, vegetative and flowering stages. Made from insect exoskeletons and excrement, the frass is beneficial for your plants in three main ways:

Balanced nutrient ratio
It contains a great balance of primary nutrients (NPK 2,2,2), these release slowly over a period of 3-4 weeks, and are easy for plants to take up. Insect frass is also packed full of beneficial bacteria that help plants access more nutrients from the soil.

The nitrogen in insect frass is predominantly organic nitrogen (NH2). There is virtually no ammoniacal nitrogen (0.11%) or nitrate nitrogen (0.02%), which means insect frass can be used throughout the life of the plant- from seedling to flowering stage- without concern for creating hermaphrodites.

Chitin
Secondly, frass has another special and quite unique benefit for plants: it contains derivatives of chitin, which is found in large concentrations in the cell walls of insects.

Plants detect the presence of this and are ‘tricked’ into thinking an attack is imminent; consequently, their in-built resistance to pests and disease is triggered and growth rates, productivity and immune response are all boosted significantly.

Micronutrients
Last but by no means least, frass is chock full of micronutrients, with high levels of natural silicon, and very low levels of sodium and chloride.

Its worth noting that insect frass is not an insecticide – instead it causes the plant to produce its own defenses, which include insecticidal enzymes, alkaloids, and antifungal metabolites that aid in pathogen and disease resistance.

Welcome to Weber's Wiggelers Mealworm Farm. We started farming mealworms so we could give our chickens fresh live worms everyday. Our chickens couldn't be happier. Weber's Wiggelers has small, med and large mealworms and mealworm frass. Insect frass is an excellent organic fertilized. Please message me for orders or questions.
