what is chitin?
When putting a plant in the ground, should this be put around the roots or near the top of the soil? All tips appreciated!
I assume the crab has been cooked in some way before the shell is removed. Does anyone know how the shell is processed?
Can this product be used as fertilizer for my spring bulbs ?

Good product

Ordered this fertilizer mainly to help control root knot nemotodes in the raised bed garden soil.

Enjoy It

This product has been doing my vegetable garden great! I used it for the first time in 2024 and love it. A little pricey but you pay for you want and get.

Looks good

The Chitin in these shells is supposed to deter or kill root knot nematodes. That's why I bought it. I think the chunks will take a while to break down which is a good thing.I'm also mixing it in my potting soil.Also I'm powdering some of it along with egg shells in a coffee grinder & using it everywhere to get some Calcium into my tomatoes a little quicker. I'll also add that powder to my BioChar charging solution.It does smell a little fishy but it's not over powering and not noticeable on the ground. The smell might attract some varmints & maybe repel some others.

Not sure

The product smells pretty fishy so keep the bag closed. I fertilized my tomatoes 3 times with it and it struggled. Stayed small for quite a while. Finally, after adding soil twice, the third soil adding I used Espoma for vegetables and the plant took off. Grew 2feet and started producing small tomatoes. Now, whether neptunes was slow or it needed something in the Espoma, I’m not sure. But I think I will not use it next spring. But, that does not mean Neptunes is ineffective..who knows!

Love this stuff

I have used this for 2 summers in a row and am very pleased with how well it works for my plants.

A Bag of Smashed-Up Crabs - It's What's for Dinner

This is what is says and more - crab shell and scraps, which for my needs is perfect. I use this to help satisfy land hermit crabs and crayfishes cannibalistic yearnings. Few things are as tasty to crabs as other crabs, and I suppose eating yourself is as close the perfect diet as you can get. Most of the time social and gregarious, land hermit crabs do have a dark side and will sometimes dig up a molting friend, pull them out of their shell, kill and eat them. (Crayfish can hardly ever resist making a meal out of a newly molted buddy, no 'sometimes' about it.) Both species will eat their own molts as well as any others they can get a hold of which further tends to indicate their shells are an important and coveted food source. A lot of attention is given to providing invertebrates with extra calcium but I doubt supplementing calcium alone is really of much use. The mineral makeup of skeletons and exoskeletons is complex and letting the animal supplement their own diet as naturally as possible is probably a better solution.I was very happy to find this big bag-o-crab which the critters enjoy picking through for the best bits - whatever they may be. I rinse it to remove any surface salt for the crayfish, and feed it 'as is' to the sea loving hermit crabs. According to the ingredients it contains only crab shell and scraps. As far as being "organic" - well....... your guess is as good as mine just what that means but I've had no issues with any animal eating it. It smells fishy, I would expect that. I would be suspicious if it was odorless.I've no idea what it does for plants, but it is a great find for someone with many invertebrate mouths to feed.
