Down to Earth Feather Meal — premium, slow-release, high-nitrogen plant food that feeds your garden naturally and efficiently.
Why choose Down to Earth Feather Meal?
High, steady nitrogen boost: With about 12–13% nitrogen, feather meal provides a dependable source of this key macronutrient for vigorous leafy growth, greener foliage, and stronger stems.
Slow-release and long-lasting: Protein-based nitrogen breaks down gradually through microbial activity, supplying plants steadily for weeks to months without the surge-and-crash of synthetic fertilizers.
Organic and sustainable: Made from byproducts of the poultry industry and processed without synthetic chemicals, feather meal is OMRI-listed for organic production and supports more sustainable nutrient cycles.
Low salt index and reduced burn risk: Gentle on roots and seedlings compared with many fast-release fertilizers, making it suitable for veg beds, lawns, shrubs, and container plants when used as directed.
Versatile application: Use as a pre-plant soil amendment, side-dress for established vegetables and ornamentals, incorporate into potting mixes, or top-dress lawns and flowerbeds for seasonal green-up.
Microbial-friendly: Encourages beneficial soil microbes that convert organic N into plant-available forms, improving overall soil health and nutrient retention over time.
Product highlights
Typical analysis: ~12–13% Nitrogen (N), with negligible phosphorus and potassium — ideal when you want to raise N without adding P or K.
Form: Finely ground, easy to mix into soil or top-dress.
Packaging: Available in practical bag sizes for home gardeners and small-scale farms.
How to use
Pre-plant: Mix 2–4 pounds per 100 square feet into top 6–8 inches of soil for general garden beds (adjust based on crop needs).
Side-dress: Apply 0.5–1 cup per plant for large vegetables and shrubs; scratch lightly into the soil and water in.
Containers: Use sparingly — 1–2 tablespoons per gallon of potting mix worked in at repotting, then monitor plant response.
Lawns: Apply 4–6 pounds per 1,000 square feet in spring for steady greening; follow with regular watering.
Safety: Wear gloves, keep away from pets and children until worked into soil; follow label rates to prevent nitrogen imbalance.
Best uses
Heavy-feeding vegetables (tomatoes, corn, leafy greens)
Lawns needing a gentle, long-lasting green-up
Established shrubs and trees during active growth
Organic farms and home gardens emphasizing sustainable inputs
