Soybean Meal Organic Fertilizer

SBM is not water soluble, and would not make a good liquid fertilizer ingredient.

Because SBM is often used as an animal feed you may find it at your local feed supply store.

Note:
Research from North Carolina University shows that SBM can inhibit the germination of small seeds (collards, lettuce, and turnips) of up to 50% reduction.

SBM Use:

  • Used to increase green leaf growth and overall plant health.
  • When adding to your garden as a nitrogen source, always blend it into the soil.
  • Use SBM in the top layer of your garden soil; where new roots can find it.
