Organic Leather Meal for Plants – Sustainable Nitrogen for Lasting Growth!

Unlock the power of slow-release nitrogen for your garden with our premium Leather Meal for Plants! An excellent organic fertilizer, Leather Meal is a sustainable by-product rich in nitrogen, vital for healthy leaf development and robust plant vigoro. Unlike fast-acting options, it provides a consistent, gentle feed, nurturing your plants over an extended period. Promote lush foliage and enhance your soil’s organic content naturally!

Benefits of Using Leather Meal Fertilizer:

• Excellent Source of Slow-Release Nitrogen: Leather Meal typically boasts a nitrogen content of 8-13% (N-P-K around 8-0-0 or 10-0-0). This nitrogen is released gradually as soil microbes break down the organic material, providing a steady supply of nutrients to your plants over several weeks or even months. This prevents nutrient leaching and reduces the risk of “fertilizer burn.”
• Enhances Soil Structure: As an organic amendment, Leather Meal adds valuable organic matter to your soil. This improves soil aeration, water retention, and overall soil structure, creating a healthier environment for root growth.
• Boosts Microbial Activity: The organic content in Leather Meal encourages a thriving population of beneficial soil microorganisms, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and plant health.
• Promotes Lush, Green Foliage: The high nitrogen content directly supports chlorophyll production, leading to vibrant green leaves and vigorous vegetative growth.
• Sustainable & Eco-Friendly: Utilizing a by-product from the leather industry, Leather Meal is an environmentally responsible choice for enriching your garden.
• Long-Lasting Feeding: Its slow-release nature means fewer applications are needed compared to many synthetic fertilizers, saving you time and effort.

How to Use Leather Meal Fertilizer:

Important Considerations: Leather Meal’s slow-release nature means it won’t give immediate results like a quick-acting liquid feed. Be patient, and apply according to recommended rates.

• Timing: Apply Leather Meal for Plants in the spring before active growth begins or during the early to mid-growing season for sustained feeding.
• General Application (Garden Beds):
  • For established garden beds, sprinkle 1-2 pounds per 100 square feet.
  • Gently rake or work the Leather Meal into the top 2-4 inches of soil.
• Individual Plants (Established):
  • For larger plants or shrubs, apply 1/2 to 1 cup around the drip line (the area directly under the outer edge of the plant’s branches).
  • For smaller plants, use 1-2 tablespoons around the base, avoiding direct contact with the stem.
  • Always scratch the fertilizer into the topsoil.
• Potted Plants:
  • Mix approximately 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of potting mix when preparing new soil.
  • For established potted plants, gently work 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon into the top inch or two of soil every 2-3 months during the growing season.
• Compost Piles: Leather Meal can also be added to compost piles as a nitrogen source to help speed up the decomposition process.
• Water Thoroughly After Application: Always water your plants well after applying Leather Meal to help it integrate into the soil and begin the breakdown process.
• Safety Precaution: While generally safe, some sources of leather meal may contain trace amounts of chromium from the tanning process. Choose reputable suppliers who ensure the product is safe for agricultural use.
