Uses: Fertilizer for outdoor container gardens, vegetable and herb gardens, flower beds, lawns

Made entirely of chitin-rich lobster and crab shell, this is the ideal organic fertilizer for outdoor containers, vegetable, herb and flower gardens. Natural nitrogen and calcium help promote strong stem growth, healthy green foliage, and vigorous roots.

It is OMRI listed for use in organic gardens.

Why Lobster?

Lobster, or Homarus americanus, as well as other shellfish species like crab (often taken with lobster as a by-catch), has been harvested off the coast of Maine for centuries. When the shells and bodies are dehydrated and ground into a meal for use as a fertilizer, it provides an all-natural source of organic nitrogen and calcium for plants, especially during their vegetative growth phase.
