Product Description

The Plant-Based Meal with More Nitrogen — Vegan Slow-Release for the Hungriest Crops

Old Cobblers Farm Wicked Organics Peanut Meal is a single-ingredient, plant-based organic fertilizer: mechanically pressed peanut kernels with the oil removed, ground to an 8-1-2 meal. Its nitrogen is held in peanut proteins and released gradually as soil microbes break them down — the same slow, forgiving feeding you get from other organic meals, with very low burn risk and minimal leaching. What sets it apart is the number: at 8% nitrogen it runs higher than soybean (7%) or alfalfa meals, making it the strongest plant-based nitrogen in the line for crops that want a lot of it.

Like soybean meal, it's a vegan, animal-free way to feed heavy feeders — but with extra punch for the hungriest of them: corn, brassicas like broccoli and cabbage, leafy greens, garlic and onions, and fruiting plants. It works through soil biology, so it wants warm, moist soil and a thorough watering-in to get the microbes going, and rewards an early-season application with steady growth through the stretch.

One thing every buyer needs to know up front: this product is made from peanuts and contains peanut, one of the most serious food allergens. Anyone with a peanut allergy should not handle it, and it should be stored well away from food and from allergic household members.

Key Benefits

Higher-N plant-based feed — At 8% nitrogen, peanut meal runs higher than soybean (7%) or alfalfa meals — the strongest plant-based nitrogen in the line for the hungriest crops

Plant-based and vegan — No animal ingredients — vegan slow-release organic nitrogen, the plant-based alternative to blood and feather meal with extra strength.

Slow-release nitrogen — Nitrogen bound in peanut proteins releases gradually as soil microbes break it down — steady feeding, very low burn risk, minimal leaching.

Made for heavy feeders — Corn, brassicas, leafy greens, garlic, onions, and fruiting plants all draw on the steady, higher nitrogen through their growing stretch.

Feeds soil biology — The protein meal feeds beneficial soil microbes that drive nutrient cycling and build soil structure over time.

Forgiving to use — Gradual mineralization means little risk of burning or shocking plants, even in containers and on tender crops.

Where to use it: heavy-feeding vegetables (corn, brassicas, leafy greens, garlic, onions, root vegetables), lawns and pasture, perennial landscape beds, and fruiting plants and trees.

Application Instructions

-New garden beds: 2–5 lbs per 100 sq ft, worked into the top 3–4 inches
-Transplants: 1–2 tablespoons per planting hole
-Leafy greens: 1 cup per 10 sq ft
-Heavy feeders (broccoli, cabbage): 1–2 cups per 10 feet of row
-Fruit trees: 1–2 cups per tree, around the drip line
-Lawns: 10–20 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
-Containers: 1–2 tablespoons per gallon of soil
Steps:
1. Work it into the soil — beds to the top 3–4 inches, blended through container mixes, into transplant holes; protein meals feed through soil contact.
2. Water in thoroughly after applying to initiate the microbial activity that releases the nitrogen.
3. Apply early in the growing season for the best run; reapply as crop demand calls for it (every 4–6 weeks for heavy feeders).
4. Best results in warm, moist soil — microbial release slows in cold or dry conditions.
When and how often: early-season at planting/bed prep, then reapply by crop demand — every 4–6 weeks for heavy feeders in active growth.
What NOT to do: do not surface-apply without incorporating, do not expect a fast green-up (slow by design), and do not handle or store it anywhere near someone with a peanut allergy.

Ingredients

Peanut Meal / De-oiled Pressed Peanut Kernels (100%)

Nitrogen held in peanut proteins is released as soil microbes break them down, the source of the slow, steady feeding. Plant-based, with no animal ingredients. ⚠ Contains PEANUT, a major food allergen — see notes.
