BuildASoil Craft Blend started with a big workshop full of the best and cleanest soil amendments available. I quickly became spoiled and would use all of the BuildASoil ingredients together and in different combinations that aren't available here online.
After discussing re-amending with a buddy and also Nutrient Tea Brewing he mentioned that I should combine every nutrient that we have into a fertilizer pack of the cleanest ingredients for everyone to use.
We did it!

Useful Info
Full Article
Camelina is an ancient oil and food crop that has gained renewed interest for its high n-3 fatty acid content and potential for biodiesel. It is adapted to various climatic conditions, has low nutrient requirements and good resistance to disease and pests.
Camelina oil has an unusual fatty acid composition. Camelina has shown considerable potential in the food, animal feed (camelina seed meal and camelina's crop residue), nutraceutical, paint, dye, cosmetic and biofuel industries. Camelina oil is also used in traditional folk remedy uses to treat stomach ulcers, burns, wounds, eye inflammation, etc...(Rode, 2002). Camelina phytic acid content has been reported to decrease colon cancer risk (Matthäus, 1997).
Camelina is an annual or overwintering herb, 30-60 cm high. The stems are single, usually branched above, glabrous, sometimes with a few simple and branched hairs. The leaves are alternate, sessile, lanceolate, entire or slightly toothed, 28 cm long x 20 mm wide, glabrous or sparsely hairy with primarily forked hairs. The inflorescences are elongated racemes borne on ascending pedicels. The flowers are tetramerous, light yellow or greenish-yellow in colour. The pods are leathery, pear-shaped containing many seeds. The seeds are oblong, brown, deeply grooved, 2-3 mm long (Francis et al., 2009).
The seed yield is in the range 1.5–3.0 t/ha, and the oil content is between 36% and 47% (Przybylski, 2005). One hectare of camelina can yield more than 370 l oil and 1000 kg high-protein oilmeal (Enjalbert et al., 2011). Camelina oil meal is a protein source for animal feeding. It can have as much as 45% protein and only 10-11% fibre (Korsrud et al., 1978)
Camelina has undergone only little research and its full agronomic and breeding potential remains unexplored (Francis et al., 2009). Both winter and spring annual genotypes exist. In northern America, winter annual camelina gives optimal yield when sown from early to mid october (Gesch et al., 2011). In Europe, spring annual camelina yields better when sown during early spring (Alter Agri, 2009).

Rated 5.0 out of 5
137 Ratings
Based on 137 ratings
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.
Insect Frass is NOT a pesticide.
Insect Frass is NOT a fungicide.
Insect Frass will NOT put insects into your garden.
Give your plants all the benefits of Insect Frass, without the bugs!

We are working on getting full testing and analysis, but for right now we are trusting the CDFA Organic Certification.
We've recently found a new supplier of Organic Soybean Meal.

How To Use
Soybean meal has a typical analysis of 7-1-2 (N,P,K) and is naturally a slow release fertilizer. Typical use is 1-2 pounds per 100 square feet of garden. Many gardeners like it due to its slow release nature as they only have to apply it once per year.
