SuperGardenfood: Fertiliser with chitin from insect farming
The company behind SuperGardenfood is the Austrian firm Proteins4Future GmbH. It works with insect biomass from mealworms. Together with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna it has developed a process for high-purity chitin and chitosan. The fertilisers are made in Austria, and what sets them apart is their content of chitin from larvae farming. In this way raw materials from insect farming end up as nutrients in your garden bed.

With just a few packs you can cover vegetable beds, flowers and containers, whether you tend a small town garden or a large kitchen garden.
Frequently asked questions
Which SuperGardenfood fertiliser do I need?
For vegetables in a raised bed use Helmut, for tomatoes Vanessa and for balcony flowers Salvador. If you want just one fertiliser for everything, Toni is the right choice.
What is chitin?
Chitin is a natural building material that makes up, for example, the outer shell of insects. At SuperGardenfood it comes from farming mealworm larvae.
