Lobster Meal Organic Fertilizer – High Nitrogen for Vegetative Growth

Coast of Maine Lobster Meal (6-2-0) is a single-ingredient organic fertilizer made from ground, dehydrated lobster and crab shell. The grinding process concentrates the naturally occurring nitrogen and calcium in crustacean shell into a granular meal that can be incorporated into soil or used as a top dressing.

With 8% calcium and a 6-2-0 NPK, Lobster Meal provides the nitrogen and calcium profile suited to promoting strong stem development, healthy green foliage, and vigorous root system establishment. It is OMRI listed for use in certified organic gardens and can function as a compost bio-activator to accelerate decomposition in compost piles.

Who Should Use This Fertilizer

Lobster Meal suits organic growers who want a high-nitrogen fertilizer for the vegetative growth stage, with the added benefit of significant calcium. Its OMRI listing approves it for certified organic vegetative-stage feeding. It works well as a soil amendment mixed into new beds or planting holes, or as a top dressing during vegetative growth phases.

Nitrogen, Calcium, and Stem Development

Nitrogen (N) is the primary driver of vegetative growth, supporting leaf and stem production. Calcium (Ca) complements nitrogen by providing the structural material for cell walls — helping plants build stems that are strong enough to support lush vegetative growth without collapsing. The combination of 6% nitrogen and 8% calcium in Lobster Meal is well suited for operations that prioritize structural plant health during the growth phase.
