Why Choose Our Targeted Frass for Your Garden?
Introduction to Targeted Frass
Our Targeted Frass is uniquely designed for gardeners who seek sustainable, eco-friendly, and effective plant growth products. By focusing on the specific needs of gardeners, we have created a superior product that promotes strong and healthy plant growth as well as high-quality food and flowers.
Mealworm Diet and Nutrient Content
One key aspect that sets our Targeted Frass apart is the carefully crafted, diverse diet for our mealworms. This diet includes grains, greens, proteins, and root vegetables. By diversifying their diet, we have increased the diversity of beneficial microbes present in the frass as well as the amount of bio-available macronutrients and micronutrients. This ensures that our mealworms produce the best frass specifically for gardeners and their plants.
Fine, Dry, and Virtually Odorless
Our Targeted Frass has a fine, dry, sandy texture and is virtually odorless. We hand-sift the frass multiple times to ensure our customers receive more frass and less bedding for their money. This fine texture allows for easy mixing into soil or use in compost teas. You also get more frass for your money.
Chitin: A Powerful Defense Mechanism
Our frass contains chitin, a naturally occurring polymer found in the broken-down exoskeletons of mealworms. Chitin exposure triggers plants' defense systems, fortifying cell walls, building up defenses in roots, and releasing natural insect toxins. This immune response helps plants defend against pathogens, pests, and environmental stress.
Sustainable Packaging
Sustainability is at the core of GrassMar's values. We have sourced sustainable packaging materials from US companies, using 100% recycled paper bags, plant-based cello bags, and natural twine. All our packaging is home compostable, further showcasing our commitment to the environment.
Product Size
Our 1 lb bag of Targeted Frass contains approximately 5 cups, providing gardeners with a generous supply for their plant care needs.
By choosing our Targeted Frass, you'll be nurturing your garden with a sustainable, effective, and eco-friendly product, designed specifically for the needs of gardeners and their plants.

Our Targeted Frass is designed to support a thriving garden through sustainable and effective methods. To use our frass as a stand-alone product:
