It's more than 50% organic matter, with a modest 4-1-1 nutrient analysis — so its job isn't to feed heavily but to improve the soil itself. Its signature is saponins, natural surfactant compounds in the seed that break water's surface tension. In practice that means better water infiltration into tight or crusted ground, more even moisture, and a more workable root zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eIt comes as a granulated crumb that dissolves slowly with rainfall or irrigation, releasing its organic matter and saponins over time rather than all at once — and feeding the beneficial soil microbes that turn organic matter into lasting structure. Turf managers on athletic fields and golf courses have long used tea seed meal as part of a soil-health program, and the same benefits apply to home lawns, vegetable beds, and ornamental plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eOne firm safety rule comes with it: the saponins that condition your soil are toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Never apply tea seed meal near ponds, streams, ditches, or any water body, and keep it out of storm drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSurfactant action on water — \u003c\/b\u003eNatural saponins break water's surface tension, improving infiltration into tight, crusted, or hydrophobic soil and spreading moisture more evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e50%+ organic matter — \u003c\/b\u003eMore than half its weight is organic matter — feeding beneficial microbes and building the structure that holds water and roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlow-dissolving crumb — \u003c\/b\u003eThe granulated crumb dissolves gradually with rain and irrigation, releasing organic matter and active compounds over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBetter soil structure — \u003c\/b\u003eLooser, better-draining soil with improved root penetration and less surface crusting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eTurf-program proven — \u003c\/b\u003eA soil-health input long used on golf courses and athletic fields, now for home lawns, beds, and ornamentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne natural ingredient — \u003c\/b\u003eA single natural ingredient — Camellia seed meal — with no synthetic additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it: \u003c\/strong\u003elawns and turfgrass, vegetable gardens and raised beds, ornamental beds and shrubs, and managed turf — well away from water.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Cobblers Farm","offers":[{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":41560544313477,"sku":"JI-NNIM-ENQ6","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lbs","offer_id":41560544346245,"sku":"GF-UE8Y-E3T2","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 lbs","offer_id":41560544280709,"sku":"U3-EZI5-5DJB","price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 lbs","offer_id":41560544247941,"sku":"3S-NFKU-HWAI","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3573\/9781\/files\/OldCobblersFarm_WickedOrganicsTeaSeedMeal.jpg?v=1774863464","url":"https:\/\/theoldcobblersfarm.com\/products\/https-theoldcobblersfarm-com-products-old-cobblers-farm-wicked-organics-tea-seed-meal-_pos-1-_sid-01f1a5f1f-_ss-r","provider":"Old Cobblers Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
