Add to indoor potted plants, garden beds, vegetable patches & hydroponic media for explosive growth!
The Key Benefits of Chitin from Insect Frass
Immunity Improvement: Chitin stimulates a plant's natural defenses against pests and disease, making it an effective and natural way to boost immunity and protect your plants.
Root Promotion: With chitin, your plants will experience a boost in root growth and development, leading to stronger, healthier plants with more extensive root systems.
Nutrient Uptake Enhancement: By adding chitin from insect frass to soil, nutrient uptake is improved, leading to better growth, yields, and overall plant health.
Soil Structure Enhancement: Chitin helps to improve soil structure by promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms that break down organic matter, leading to better aeration and water retention.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Insect frass is a sustainable and eco-friendly source of chitin, making it an excellent choice for growers who care about natural and environmentally conscious ways to improve plant growth.
Other advantages:
Insect Frass contains a wide spectrum of vital nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and other trace minerals.
It increases soil health and fertility by incorporating necessary nutrients while inoculating billions of beneficial bacteria!
It can be utilized to increase plant yields and general health with its high levels of Chitin.
Since it contains helpful bacteria that can inhibit pathogenic soil-borne diseases, it can be utilized as a natural pest control method in some cases.

Works a treat
Put some of this as a top dress on my chilli plants with some sticky traps and have noticed a massive decrease in gnat numbers! Happy days!

Using the dry amendments for IPM. Definitely a decrease in the devouring little critters.
Fruit roids and fish hydrolysate in the water and results are impressive.
Thanks Dr Gt. Great products.

I recently bought the Foliage Focus from this store, and I couldn’t be more impressed. They have the best price I could find anywhere. The service was excellent too. I ordered online and was able to pick it up just the next day—super fast and convenient! The whole process was smooth, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend if you’re looking for affordable plant care products and great customer service!

My recent order was delivered to the wrong address (at the fault of the courier) and I was given the run around by the courier company (not naming names...).
After speaking to Scott and the team at Dr Greenthumbs, they sent out a replacement order within a couple of days. That's what I call customer service!
I love the organic Go and Grow and Bud and Bloom fertilisers. I haven't been able to find anything that comes close to ticking the natural and organic box. Highly recommended.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgable people. You don't often get great customer service these days, so it's appreciated. This place is a real treasure for organic gardening supplies. I picked up some perlite in bulk here and it's really good value. I also got a bag of their 4 in 1 compost and although it's expensive compared to other brands, it's not full of c#@! — it literally looks like black gold and I can't wait to see the magic it does for my veggies.
I’ve watched quite a lot of reviews on curing and storing your hard cultivated produce and using humidity packs was a stand out topic, last harvest I purchased the humidity packs and have not regretted my purchase. For a couple of dollars for each pack, you can’t go wrong

recently purchased a thermostat and Cultiv8 tube heater, at first did not keep mini green house as warm as expected, then added a 2nd larger tube heater and now all working well.
