FAQs
Does Prawn Meal have a smell?
It may have a mild seafood smell when first applied. Mixing it into the soil and watering afterward usually reduces the smell.
Can I use it for indoor plants?
Yes, but use a small amount and mix it properly into the soil. Because it can have a seafood smell, it is generally more convenient for outdoor pots.
Can I use it with compost or vermicompost?
Yes. Prawn Meal can be used along with compost or vermicompost when preparing or feeding garden soil.
Can I use NPK fertilizer with Prawn Meal?
Yes, but avoid giving full doses of several fertilizers at the same time. Prawn Meal already provides nitrogen and phosphorus, so additional fertilizer should be used according to the plant's needs.
