8% Nitrogen — Highest Plant-Based
One percentage point more N than soybean meal (7%). Over a full garden season with multiple applications, that 14% advantage in nitrogen delivery adds up significantly.
3–6 Week Moderate Release
Same moderate release profile as soybean meal — fast enough to feed hungry crops, slow enough to avoid burn. Microbial breakdown meters out nitrogen gradually.
100% Plant-Based & Vegan
No animal products, no animal byproducts. Peanut meal is the top choice for veganic gardening systems and growers who prefer plant-derived nutrition.
Premium Microbial Food
Peanut protein is a high-quality food source for soil biology. Every application feeds beneficial microbes that improve nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and soil structure.
100–250 sq ft Per Bag
At 2–5 lbs per 100 sq ft, one 5 lb bag covers a standard garden bed. Use the heavier rate for nitrogen-hungry crops like corn and brassicas.
Balanced 8-1-2 Ratio
Not nitrogen-only — 1% phosphorus and 2% potassium contribute modest but meaningful secondary nutrition alongside the primary nitrogen delivery.
Organic Approved
Peanut meal is an approved organic input. Sourced as a byproduct of peanut oil production — a sustainable, renewable agricultural input.
