Feather meal is an organic high nitrogen fertiliser which is very suitable when a nitrogen is needed without the commonly excessive potassium & phosphorus in vegetable growing systems. At 14% nitrogen, feather meal releases a consist dosage over a 3-month period. Generally applied at bed preparation of each crop and for most veg crops would be a sufficient boost to the completion of the crop.
Product is a dry grany powder, with low odour.
Application rate should be varied dependent on crop feeding level. Heavy vs light feeds. Some crops may grow well with high application whilst others will start to have quality issues when over applied. For crops over 6 months consider multiple small applications every 3 months.
Suggested rates between 80 to 150g/m2 which would supply 96 to 150 units of nitrogen. Refer to table for example N units needed per relative crops.
