Feather Meal Fertilizer
Feather Meal Fertilizer is a premium, all-natural organic soil amendment that provides a concentrated source of slow-release nitrogen for healthy, vigorous plant growth. Made from processed poultry feathers, this sustainable fertilizer contains naturally occurring keratin, a durable protein that soil microbes gradually break down over time. As a result, plants receive a steady supply of nitrogen for several months, supporting consistent growth without the rapid nutrient spikes associated with many synthetic fertilizers.
With a typical N-P-K analysis of 12-0-0 or 13-0-0, Feather Meal Fertilizer delivers the nitrogen plants need to produce lush green foliage, strong stems, and vigorous vegetative growth. Because nutrients release slowly as soil microorganisms digest the keratin, this organic fertilizer promotes long-lasting plant performance while reducing nutrient loss through leaching.
In addition to feeding plants, Feather Meal Fertilizer encourages beneficial microbial activity that helps build healthier, more productive soils. Increased biological activity improves nutrient cycling, supports healthy root development, and contributes to long-term soil fertility. The gentle, slow-release formula also minimizes the risk of fertilizer burn, making it an excellent choice for both established plants and new plantings.
Whether you’re growing vegetables, ornamentals, herbs, fruit crops, or landscape plants, this versatile organic fertilizer supplies dependable nutrition throughout the growing season. It also works well as a compost activator by providing the nitrogen needed to speed the decomposition of carbon-rich materials.
Key Features
- Supplies a concentrated source of slow-release nitrogen with a typical 12-0-0 or 13-0-0 nutrient analysis.
- Rich in natural keratin, which releases nutrients gradually as soil microbes break it down.
- Feeds plants continuously for approximately 3–6 months, depending on soil conditions and microbial activity.
- Promotes lush green foliage, vigorous vegetative growth, and strong stem development.
- Helps reduce the risk of fertilizer burn compared to fast-release synthetic nitrogen sources.
- Encourages beneficial soil microbial activity and supports long-term soil health.
- OMRI Listed® and widely accepted for certified organic farming and gardening.
Uses and Application
Heavy-Feeding Crops – Ideal for corn, leafy greens, tomatoes, brassicas, and other nitrogen-demanding vegetables.
Garden Beds and Landscapes – Incorporate thoroughly into the top few inches of soil before planting or around established plants to provide season-long nutrition.
Raised Beds – Mix evenly into the growing medium to improve fertility and support healthy plant development.
Compost Piles – Add to compost as a natural nitrogen source to stimulate microbial activity and accelerate decomposition.
Application Method – Mix or till thoroughly into the soil. Because it is not water-soluble, it should not be dissolved in water for application.
