Hornworm poop as fertilizer?

16 years ago

Hello-

I've picked off several medium- to big-sized hornworms the past couple of days and put them in a large container, and have actually been feeding them with the plan of watching them (hopefully) pupate and become moths. In the meantime, of course, they're producing a large amount of poop! It got me thinking- I wonder if it would be good fertilizer? Has anyone out there ever tried this? I might experiment with it a little.

Thanks! Jamie
