Neptune's Harvest 5-3-0 Crab and Lobster Shell Meal is a dry, slow-feeding amendment for gardens needing NPK and calcium. This 12-pound bucket pairs a 5-3-0 fertilizer with 17% calcium and 1% magnesium, supporting bulbs, flowers, and vegetable beds. It’s OMRI-listed and can be used in organic programs. We use it when we’re building planting beds and want to add nutrients over time.

Work it into soil before planting or scratch it in as a top dress around established plants, then water it in so it starts interacting with the root zone. You can also broadcast it with a spreader over lawns, which simplifies coverage when you’re feeding larger areas. The shell material adds texture and organic matter, and many gardeners use it as part of a broader pest-management approach since shell meal is commonly used to discourage certain garden pests.
