Know before you buy
Feather meal is a slow-release nitrogen source, meaning it breaks down gradually to provide a steady supply of nutrients throughout the growing season. Because it is organic and mild, it will not burn your plants like synthetic fertilizers can.
For the best results, you should apply the granular feather meal to your soil before planting. This allows the nutrients to begin breaking down and becoming available as your plants start their growth cycle.
It is particularly beneficial for heavy feeders and long-season crops that require consistent nitrogen levels to thrive. Since it contains 12% nitrogen and no phosphorus or potassium, it is best used as a targeted nitrogen amendment rather than a complete, all-purpose fertilizer.
Hydrolyzing the feathers breaks down the tough proteins, making the nitrogen much more accessible to soil microbes. This process ensures that the nutrients are available to your plants in a form they can actually use.
Yes, this feather meal is approved for organic use. It is made solely from poultry feathers without synthetic additives, making it a natural choice for organic soil amendment.
