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.
