Protein-based Fertilizers for Vegetable Gardens?

11 years ago

I posted this question yesterday, but apparently it disappeared into the cosmos. :/

For years, I've been able to achieve a magnificent lawn by using protein-based fertilizers such as soybean meal and alfalfa pellets in place of chemical fertilizers. (Thanks Organic Lawn Care forum!) It feeds the microbes in the soil, which in turn benefit the grass.

My question is, if this practice works so well for the lawn, wouldn't it be beneficial for flower beds and vegetable gardens as well? Should I add some soybean meal to my raised beds this season?
