Greenway Biotech Inc. Organic Feather Meal Fertilizer 12-0-0 Includes 12% Nitrogen Fertilizer for Compost- Free from Heavy Metals & Ideal for Flowers Fruits Vegetables and Plants (2 Pounds)

- FEEDS PLANTS FOR 3?4 MONTHS WITH 12% SLOW-RELEASE NITROGEN ? Feather meal is one of the longest-lasting organic nitrogen sources available. Soil microbes gradually break down the hydrolyzed keratin protein, delivering a steady supply of nitrogen throughout the growing season. Apply once and let biology do the work ? no monthly reapplication needed. - VERY LOW BURN RISK EVEN AT HIGHER RATES ? Unlike fast-acting nitrogen sources, feather meal releases gradually through natural microbial breakdown. This ultra slow-release mechanism means it won't shock or burn your plants. Safe for direct soil application around established vegetables, transplants, flowers, and shrubs when used as directed. - IDEAL FOR HEAVY-FEEDING CROPS ? Perfect for nitrogen-hungry plants like corn, tomatoes, leafy greens, brassicas, and fall-harvested vegetables. Also excellent for lawns (approximately 10?15 lbs per 1,000 sq ft, up to 2?3 times per year depending on soil needs) and as a high-nitrogen compost activator (2?3 lbs per cubic yard). - SIMPLE APPLICATION ? Spread evenly, work into the top 3?4 inches of soil, and water thoroughly. For vegetables: 7?25 lbs per 1,000 sq ft depending on crop type. For individual plants: ¼ to ½ cup per plant. Allow 2?4 weeks before planting for initial microbial breakdown to begin. Works best when soil temperatures are above 50°F. Texture: fine granular meal ? applies easily by hand or with a broadcast spreader for larger areas. - DERIVED FROM HYDROLYZED POULTRY FEATHERS ? Clean poultry feathers processed through controlled hydrolysis, which breaks down the keratin protein structure into a form soil microorganisms can readily utilize. A sustainable way to recycle poultry industry byproducts into valuable, long-lasting plant nutrition. - BUILDS SOIL BIOLOGY ? As microbes break down feather meal, they multiply and improve overall soil health. Not only you are feeding your plants but you are also you're building a healthier soil ecosystem that benefits everything you grow. - EXCELLENT COMPOST ACTIVATOR ? High nitrogen content helps speed up composting by feeding the microbes that break down carbon-rich brown materials like leaves, straw, and wood chips. Add 2?3 lbs per cubic yard of compost for faster, more balanced decomposition. - CDFA REGISTERED & LAB TESTED ? Registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture as a fertilizer material. Every batch is independently tested by third-party laboratories for nutrient content and heavy metal levels to help ensure safety for edible crops. - VERSATILE ACROSS YOUR ENTIRE GARDEN ? Use on vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, trees, shrubs, container plants, and compost piles. One product covers multiple applications. For a complete NPK program, pair with Bone Meal (phosphorus) and Potassium Sulfate (potassium). - CALIFORNIA-BASED, FAMILY-OWNED SINCE 1989 ? Greenway Biotech has been providing specialty fertilizers from our California facility for over 35 years.

Our Core Values

Feather meal is an organic fertilizer high in nitrogen that can take the place of many synthetic liquid fertilizers in your garden. Nitrogen is essential for all types of growing plants and an adequate seasonal supply ensures plenty of shoots, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Some of the nitrogen is readily available for immediate use by your plants, but most is a slower-release type contained within the keratin protein that comprises most of a feather’s structure. Feather meal to improve soil after running a soil test and discovering soil was depleted of nitrogen.

It takes time for the meal to break down, so feed your plants at a natural rate and don’t go overboard. Once feather meal fertilizer is added to your soil, the microorganisms within your soil ? bacteria, nematodes, fungi ? all have roles in breaking down into forms of nitrogen that are bioavailable for your plants. Add nitrogen to your soil, you’re also building the life within your soil which has many more benefits than just the initial fertilizer application.
