An excellent all-purpose organic fertilizer derived from ground Pacific Northwest shrimp shells. Rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium, Shrimp Shell Meal is ideal for all types of garden vegetables, flowers, herbs, and ornamentals, and also serves as an exceptional compost bio-activator. Naturally high in chitin, it stimulates the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms, enhancing soil health and supporting strong plant growth.

With its finer texture compared to crab meal, Shrimp Shell Meal becomes readily available to plants more quickly while still providing a slow-release source of nutrients. The 6-6-0 nutrient profile, combined with 10% calcium, supports vigorous root development, strong stems, and healthy blooms. This amendment works equally well for new garden beds, as a side-dress for established crops, or blended into potting mixes and transplant soil.

Use throughout the growing season to maintain soil fertility and encourage abundant harvests. For best results, incorporate it into the soil before planting or apply as a side-dress during active growth periods. It can also be added to compost piles to speed decomposition and improve the finished compost’s nutrient profile.
