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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore other essential soil-building amendments in our\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.groworganic.com\/collections\/fertilizer-growing-supplies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFertilizer Growing Supplies collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDerived From:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShrimp meal (ground Pacific Northwest shrimp shells)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalysis:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6% Nitrogen, 6% Phosphorus, 0% Potassium, 10% Calcium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 lb\/100 sq ft for gardens; 3–5 lb\/100 sq ft for heavy-feeding crops; side-dress as needed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eImproves soil health, supports root growth, stimulates beneficial microbes, and enhances compost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGranular, fine-textured, slow-release\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Down to Earth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535622414564,"sku":"F1957","price":9.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0290\/0196\/files\/shrimp-shell-meal-6-6-0-15-lb.png?v=1785401118","url":"https:\/\/groworganics.shop\/products\/shrimp-shell-meal-6-6-0-15-lb-4suimg","provider":"Westbridge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
