Crab Meal | Organic Fertilizer & Soil Amendment for Healthy Plants

Enhance plant wellness with Crab Meal, a natural fertilizer abundant in calcium and chitin, perfect for boosting soil and plant health.

What is Crab Meal?

Crab meal is a type of organic fertilizer derived from crustaceans such as crabs or lobsters. The shells of these animals are nutrient-rich and contribute to creating an optimal growing environment for flowers and vegetables when incorporated into the soil.

Crab meal has an NPK ratio of 4-3-0, featuring high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium, along with exceptionally high chitin content.

Benefits of Crab Meal

Crab meal acts as a remarkable superfood for your soil. Not only does it enhance the overall fertility of your garden beds, but it also serves as a defense for your plants against pests and diseases. Its rich mineral content promotes vigorous plant growth. When mixed into the soil, chitin aids plants in resisting root rot, blight, and powdery mildew. Additionally, it creates an ideal habitat for soil microorganisms that generate enzymes to eliminate root-damaging pests.

Tomato growers particularly appreciate crab meal for its elevated calcium and nitrogen levels. The nitrogen in chitin is gradually released, thus preventing any potential burning of plants. Other fertilizers tend to be more effective when used alongside crab meal.
