Down To Earth Feather Meal 12-0-0 - 20 lb Bag

Slow-Release Organic Nitrogen for Heavy Feeders - 20 lb Bag

Nitrogen-hungry plants can run short midway through vegetative growth, and fast-release feeds can wash out before the plants use them. This feather meal supplies organic nitrogen that releases slowly, with a 12-0-0 analysis that adds nitrogen without phosphorus or potassium. It is OMRI Listed, so organic growers can check it against their program.

The 20 lb bag suits regular growers who feed several beds, containers or raised plantings through a season. It gives enough material for repeated soil amendments without buying small retail packs. Growers on larger acreage may need several bags.

Key Features & Benefits

• 12-0-0 analysis — delivers nitrogen alone, so you can balance phosphorus and potassium separately.
• Slow-release organic nitrogen — feeds plants over time rather than in one short burst.
• OMRI Listed — helps growers working to organic standards.
• 20 lb bag — a practical size for repeated amending across multiple beds or containers.

Who Should Use Down To Earth Feather Meal 12-0-0

Growers who need a nitrogen boost for heavy-feeding plants, especially during vegetative growth, and who prefer an organic, soil-applied source. It suits home gardeners and licensed growers who build soil with amendments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 12-0-0 mean?
A: The three numbers show the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This product contains nitrogen only, so pair it with other amendments if your plants need phosphorus or potassium.

Q: When should I apply it?
A: Work it into the soil before planting, so the nitrogen is available as plants begin growing. Follow the label for rates.

Q: How does it differ from a synthetic nitrogen fertilizer?
A: Organic feather meal releases nitrogen slowly as it breaks down in the soil. Synthetic sources generally act faster but can leach more easily.

Q: Is it suitable for organic growing?
A: It is OMRI Listed. Confirm with your own certifier that it fits your specific program.

Q: Does it contain phosphorus or potassium?
A: No. The analysis is 12-0-0, so it provides nitrogen only.
