Gentle Insect Substrate 2000cc

????? Gentle Insect Substrate ?????

◎ Made with no additives, using only spent shiitake mushroom substrate blocks, fermented aerobically.

The shiitake mushroom substrate is made in-house using oak and other deciduous tree sawdust mixed with rice bran, wheat bran, malted barley, and Hiroshima oyster shell lime. All raw materials are domestically produced.

This insect substrate is created by aerobically fermenting hardwood sawdust, which has been decomposed by mycelia during mushroom cultivation, and further broken down by microorganisms.
It becomes a substrate that is close to nature, creating a paradise for insects to live in.
The substrate, which has undergone double decomposition and aging, has amazing water retention capabilities.
It absorbs a large amount of water and can hold it for a long time, so it doesn't become muddy and is resistant to drying out.
The soil remains stable during the egg-laying period, allowing insects to live without stress.

Recommended for nature lovers who wish for their insects to grow freely and naturally.
