Anyone have experience with Feather Meal?
 

I have come across a cheap source of this and am considering using it in my garden.I understand the NPK of this meal is "12-1-1" from my research. I would like to use it mixed into the soil at planting time.

I am used to using aged manure, tilled in when the garden is turned over in the spring, then used as a tea during the growing season. My question is: Will the feather meal burn plants if it comes in contact with them? How much can I use? I understand it does not make a good fertilizer tea, so I will probably use it to side-dress. Thanks!

This guy uses feather meal. Check out the soil preparation.
