Hi Sheila--

here's the N-P-K breakout for soybean meal from an excellent article on
organic fertilizers by Lee Reich in the latest issue of Nat'l Gardening
magazine.  
typical soybean meal:  6-1.4-2
application: 4 lbs. per 100ft.
availability of nutrients: moderate

this is a really informative article--it's not on the Web site yet, but you
can find out how to subscribe to the magazine, which is first-rate at the
