FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Click on each question to see the answer.
How long does feather meal take to break down?
Feather meal begins releasing nitrogen within 2-4 weeks of application and continues feeding plants for 3-4 months. The breakdown rate depends on soil temperature, moisture, and microbial activity. Warmer, moist soils with healthy microbial populations will process feather meal faster than cold or dry soils.
Is feather meal safe for pets and children?
Yes, feather meal is generally safe when used as directed. However, like any fertilizer, it should be worked into the soil and watered in to prevent direct contact. Keep bags stored away from children and pets. While non-toxic, ingestion of large amounts could cause digestive upset in pets.
Can I use feather meal with other fertilizers?
Absolutely! Feather meal provides primarily nitrogen, so it pairs well with phosphorus and potassium sources like bone meal and kelp meal. For a complete organic fertilizer program, combine feather meal with other amendments based on soil test results. Avoid over-application of nitrogen by accounting for all nitrogen sources.
Why choose feather meal over other nitrogen sources?
Feather meal offers unique advantages: it's slow-release (preventing burn and reducing application frequency), organic and sustainable, improves soil structure, feeds beneficial microbes, and provides a steady nitrogen supply for 3-4 months. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, it won't leach quickly or harm soil life.
