What Is Seabird Guano?

Seabird guano is far from regular bird poop. It is an organic fertilizer used for centuries to enrich soil and nourish plants. True Organic™ Seabird Guano is harvested in a way to retain the purity and nutrient-density.

Nutrient Profile

Understanding the nutrient profile of True Organic™ Seabird Guano can help gardeners use it effectively. The product has an NPK analysis of 6-12-0, which stands for:

How It Works: Dual Nutrient Release

True Organic™ Seabird Guano is formulated for instant and long-lasting plant nutrition. It works in two ways:

• Immediate Nutrient Release: When applied fertilizer, they quickly released nutrients and easily absorbed in plants. This instant energy boost comes in handy when plants are getting started or have experienced some sort of stress and need to bounce back.
• Slow-Release Nutrients: Apart from the fast-release amount, the fertilizer contains nutrients that take longer to be released. This helps to satisfy the plants during their development stage, leading to steady and uniform growth.

Applications and Uses

True Organic™ Seabird Guano can be used in numerous gardening situations. Its naturally occurring nutrient blend gives it a general purpose:

In-Ground Gardens

• Soil Preparation: Apply guano to garden beds and till it into the soil before planting.
• Top Dressing: Apply as a top dressing around established plants to encourage growth.
• Seasonal Boost: Use at the beginning of the growing season for a kickstart (for healthy soil).

Container Plants

• Soil Enrichment: Put the fertilizer into potting soil for improved nutrient values.
• Top Dressing: Apply a light dusting to the soil surface of container plants to deliver organic nutrients over time.

Using this fertilizer is easy and it can benefit horticulturists as well as beginners. Here are a few simple steps to take:

For In-Ground Gardens

• Moisten the area to allow the nutrients to soak into the dirt.

For Container Plants

• Add a little of the guano to the potting soil.
• Or scatter a bit on the soil surface as a top dressing.
