Seed Meal?

[velikipop]

I use Solomon's recipe with success. Kelp meal is also an important ingredient. This year I switched to soy meal because a 40lb bag of cottonseed meal has gone from 18 dollars to 32. Another highly recommended meal is feathermeal. It is feathers from poultry that have been steamed. It is very difficult to find.

Velikipop,

Most of the garden stores and nurseries in my area sell feather meal. They all sell the same one (or is it two?) brand(s). The brand the sticks in my mind is Down to Earth. It is based in Eugene, Oregon, which, by the way, is only 40 miles away from me.

Perhaps feather meal is prohibited from crossing borders?? For fear of bird-borne diseases??

Michael,

I think I'll make a few more inquiries.

Thanks
