Feather Meal

Feather Meal, 13-0-0 provides a steady release of nitrogen throughout the growing season.  Heavy feeding plants like tomatoes, corn, peppers, and leafy greens can benefit from this steady release of nitrogen.  Feather Meal is a naturally sourced form of nitrogen derived from sterilized poultry feathers that are hydrolyzed, dried and ground into meal.

Feather Meal can also be used to help accelerate the composting process by providing a source of nitrogen.  As your building your compost pile, dust each layer with Feather Meal and water thoroughly.
