Feather Meal 12.8-0-0 (25 lb) Feather meal is a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer made from hydrolyzed, ground poultry feathers high in protein. With an impressive 12.8% nitrogen content, it provides long-lasting nutrition for crops, feeding plants steadily over several months. This makes it ideal for supporting strong, sustained growth in heavy feeders and nitrogen-loving plants. Nitrogen is essential for lush foliage, vibrant green color, and overall plant vigor. In biologically active soils, feather meal gradually breaks down, enriching soil life and structure while minimizing nutrient loss through leaching. It’s an excellent choice for both home gardeners and small-scale farmers focused on building fertility naturally. Slow Release Nitrogen from hydrolyzed, ground feathers high in protein. High N (12.8%) that is slowly released (6-9 months or longer in soils with low biological activity). Use on plants that like a slow release of N including corn, leafy greens, trees, shrubs, and many other vegetables. Apply at 200–400 lb/acre or for gardens use 25–50 lb/1000 sq ft.
