Neptune’s Harvest Organic Crab & Lobster Shell Multi-Purpose Plant Food (5-3-0) - 4 LB Resealable Bag - Rich in Nutrients Soil Fertilizer - Plant Food for Lawns, Gardens, and Vegetables

Real quality product. Smell like lobsters and ocean seashells (does not stink). Mix into soil when planting vegetables and flowers and every year around fruit trees and grapes. Purchased twice and definitely will continue to buy as it is natural amendment for our garden.

It definitely helped my tomatoe plants here in Eastern NC. I just bought some more for growing microgreens and was a bit disappointed at how chunky it is compared to my first order. A little more powdery would be helpful. Maybe I got the top of the barrel this time around. Otherwise very happy with the product and its results

Be prepared for the strong fishy smell. It'll attract flies to your garden. Once I covered veggie plants with mulch, it cut down the fishy odor. I'm assuming it's working. This is my first time using the product.

Let me start by saying… I absolutely love this product. That being said, I am completely dissatisfied with my last purchase. It appears Neptune Harvest now has joined the list of businesses hiking prices while shorting the customer. The product is now finely ground, and clearly has filler added. Shame on you, Neptune Harvest.

This is a fantastic fertilizer!

So far having a good season

How could you not like this stuff. It’s natural and plants love it. No synthetic fertilizers. Makes you feel more comfortable eating right out of the garden

I could have gone to red lobster and had a meal to get chitin based shells from Lobster, crab or shrimp, but alas it was cheaper to come here. I bought 250mg of chitin suitable for chitinase activity from Sigma-Aldrich, but ohhh hey no information on how to solubilize the material, but lucky me it had a useless MSDS. Good thing it cost only 60 bucks for 250mg......WHHAAATTT. Then I found that I can make it by dissolving 20 grams of ground up shell in 150ml of 12N hydrochloric acid to break them down into colloidal chitin and then wash it with copious amounts of double distilled water a day later. Some people just want to watch the world burn, way to go Sigma-Aldrich. I need to make colloidal Chitin to test bacteria for the utilization by the enzyme chitinase. Chitin is a glucose derivative with an amine group in long chains (Beta 1-4). I Why not right? Chitin, Calcium and Magnesium in one shell, works for my needs. The longer I am in science, the more I realize the margins for chemical companies makes the food industry look like homeless people. Assuming I have a 75% loss of starting Chitin (100%=1814 grams), I still get 453 grams of colloidal chitin for the same dam price as 250mg. If I paid sigma-Aldrich, it would probably run (assuming 50% of the cost) 45,000 dollars. This would be akin to me making 100ml of DNA taq polymerase for 200 dollars in the lab versus if I bought it would cost 120 dollars for 100ul or about 120,000 dollars. The lesson here kids is...learn chemistry.

This has made a fantastic addition to my organic soil mix.
