We ship with FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Carrier preference is not guaranteed unless explicitly communicated to us.
Orders shipped to PO Boxes often require additional costs and are not eligible for free shipping. Use a physical address to avoid delays and fees.
We ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Free shipping generally does not apply to large or bulky items shipped to these locations. Hawaii and Alaska do have more flexibility with this due to carrier policies. Quotes will be calculated at checkout or by request.
We do ship to Canada for select items. Canadian customers must choose “UPS Standard® Shipping to Canada with no Surprises!” at checkout to ensure proper customs clearance and avoid unexpected brokerage fees or delays. Orders using other methods may be subject to delays or rejection at customs.
Some products are fulfilled by vendor partners and display estimated ship dates on their product pages. Questions about these items should be sent to support@buildasoil.com.
Freight deliveries involve pallets via box trucks or semis. Liftgate service is assumed unless specified otherwise.

Insect Frass - Black Soldier Fly Larvae - Derived from an incredible company in Canada all from the digestate of black soldier fly larvae. In all natural ecosystems (where there are no man-made chemical pesticides), insects feed on and digest vegetation, and give it right back to plants in the form of nature's perfect plant food. Plants benefit insects - Insects benefit plants!
100% Organic plant food, and so much more...
Estimated NPK Value of 3-2-4
Weighs roughly 4 oz per cup.
Insect Frass naturally contains the nutrition plants require, beneficial micro-organisms, and the only immediately plant-available source of chitin (pronounced “Kite-inâ€). Chitin fortifies a plant from the inside out, causing an "auto-immune" response that signals a plant to produce natural toxins which fend off its natural enemies like pests and fungal pathogens. The EPA says that chitin and chitosan (see FAQ's) defend against botrytis (grey mold), powdery mildew, early and late blight, fungal pathogens in the root zone (root rot) and root-feeding nematodes. Insect Frass does NOT cause a plant to kill beneficial insects or beneficial nematodes.
For soil building or top dressing, apply at a rate of 1/4 - 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil.

Haven’t seen any bugs since using this stuff and I can tell already the stock and stems are more robust. Definitely a great way to get Silica into your soil.
It's the real deal, you can see the full exoskeletons of the insects, smells awful but i know my plants love it! I like giving it at the roots during transplanting!
I haven't started my grow as of yet. All the build a soil products that I use are all extremely effective and hoping for a good grow this summer. You guys are awesome keep up the great work.
Smell is different. I believe the plants enjoyed eating them for health. 😊
A perfect addition to my re-ammends, top dresses and nutrient/compost teas.
