Feather Meal 13-0-0
Feather Meal 13-0-0 is an all-natural, concentrated source of nitrogen that provides steady, longer-lasting nutrition for strong, healthy plant growth.
Made from poultry feathers, Feather Meal is naturally rich in keratin, a protein that takes time for soil microorganisms to break down. This makes it an excellent medium- to long-term source of nitrogen, gradually feeding plants as biological activity in the soil makes the nutrients available.
With 13% nitrogen, Feather Meal is especially useful for heavy-feeding vegetables and plants that benefit from sustained nitrogen throughout their growing period. It encourages healthy green foliage, vigorous growth and overall plant development without relying on conventional synthetic fertilizers.
Yard Farm Bermuda promotes natural fertilizers like Feather Meal because they work with the biological activity in your soil to provide plant nutrition gradually. It is a great addition to a long-term organic soil fertility program.
Great For:
Vegetable gardens, corn, brassicas, leafy greens, melons, lawns and other nitrogen-hungry plants.
General Application Guide:
Apply approximately 2 pounds per 100 Sq. Ft. and lightly incorporate into the soil. Water after application to encourage microbial activity and nutrient release.
Guaranteed Minimum Analysis
TOTAL NITROGEN (N).................................... 13.0%
13.0% Water Insoluble Nitrogen
Derived From: Feather Meal.
Good to Know:
Feather Meal is not water soluble. Its nitrogen becomes available as soil microorganisms break down the organic material, making it better suited for steady, longer-term feeding rather than an immediate nitrogen boost.
Feather Meal vs. Blood Meal:
Both provide 13% nitrogen, but they behave differently in the soil. Choose Blood Meal when you are looking for a more readily available nitrogen source, and Feather Meal when you want nitrogen released more gradually over time.
