Down To Earth Feather Meal 12-0-0 - 4 Lb

Slow-Release Organic Nitrogen for Vegetative Growth - 4 Lb

Plants in active vegetative growth use a lot of nitrogen, and fast-release sources can leach away or swing feeding up and down. This feather meal supplies nitrogen that releases slowly as the soil biology breaks it down, so nutrition stays steadier over time. It carries a 12-0-0 analysis and is OMRI Listed.

The 4 lb size suits home gardeners, small raised beds, and growers who want to trial a nitrogen amendment before buying in volume. Larger commercial areas will need to buy multiple units.

Key Features & Benefits

• 12-0-0 analysis — a nitrogen-only amendment, so you can adjust phosphorus and potassium separately.
• Slow-release nitrogen — feeds heavy-feeding plants over a longer period.
• OMRI Listed — suited to organic growing programs.

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

Use it if you grow heavy-feeding or leafy plants in soil and want an organic nitrogen source. It fits home gardeners and small-scale cultivators preparing beds before planting.
