Cricket Poop Fertilizer. No, seriously….

Cricket Poop  Honestly…I mean, I guess it would have to be obvious but I never have really considered the idea that there was such a thing as cricket poop.  Conventional wisdom is that you should never kill a cricket because if you do his friends will come and eat your socks and if it eats, well it just follows that….

But even if it had occurred to me it certainly wouldn’t have occurred to me that Cricket poop is something someone would offer for sale on the Information Super Highway.   But today is a day for learning new things;  new to me anyway, I’m sure it’s pretty much business as usual to the crickets. 

And today what I learned is that Cricket Poop is not like other similar products produced by similar creatures.  Our noisy little sock eating friend produces a dry, sandy-like odorless substance that works as an excellent fertilizer (it has an NPK value of 8.48).  To me, life is too short to try and raise a big enough herd of crickets to fertilize much of anything.  And can you imagine the noise level of that many crickets in one place.  Luckily, as I alluded to above, you can get pretty much anything on the internet.  And that internet includes Cricket poop from:
