Mesmara Groundnut Cake Fertilizer – Cold Pressed Organic Manure for Plants | 900g

Did you know that the same groundnut seeds used to make groundnut oil can also give your plants a useful organic soil amendment? Mesmara Groundnut Cake is the solid material left after extracting oil from groundnuts. Instead of wasting this valuable material, we dry and process the groundnut cake and make it available as an organic manure for home gardens, pots, grow bags, terrace gardens and outdoor plants. It's a simple connection between our traditional oil-making process and your garden: groundnut seeds are traditionally pressed into Mesmara Groundnut Oil, leaving behind groundnut cake, which becomes Mesmara Groundnut Cake Fertilizer for your garden.

What Is Groundnut Cake Fertilizer?

Groundnut Cake, also known as Peanut Cake, Groundnut Oil Cake or Badam Khol, is the solid residue remaining after oil is extracted from groundnuts. It's widely used as an organic manure and soil amendment because it retains organic matter and plant nutrients from the groundnut seed, and is documented in commercial agricultural products and research as an organic amendment. Mesmara Groundnut Cake is particularly suited to gardeners who want to incorporate a traditional oil-cake manure into their plant-care routine.

Why Choose Mesmara Groundnut Cake?

• Made from groundnut oil cake, straight from the oil-extraction process
• A traditional organic manure
• Suitable for home gardens and outdoor plants
• Ideal for pots, grow bags and garden beds
• Can be incorporated directly into soil or prepared as a liquid manure
• A useful way to put an oil-mill by-product back to work

What Does Groundnut Cake Do For Plants?

Groundnut cake is primarily valued as an organic source of nutrients and organic matter. When incorporated into soil, it gradually breaks down and contributes nutrients to the growing medium. It's particularly useful as part of a broader plant-feeding routine for:

• Leafy Plants: For maintaining a nutrient-rich growing medium.
• Flowering Plants: As part of a balanced feeding routine during active growth.
• Vegetable Plants: Suitable for kitchen gardens and grow bags.
• Fruiting Plants: Can be incorporated into the soil around established plants.
• Potted Plants: Ideal for balcony, terrace and home gardens.
• Outdoor Plants: Suitable for garden beds and larger plants.

How To Use Mesmara Groundnut Cake

Method 1: Direct Soil Application

1. Take a small quantity of Groundnut Cake.
2. Sprinkle it around the soil, keeping it away from direct contact with the stem.
3. Gently mix it into the top layer of soil.
4. Water the plant thoroughly.

The amount required depends on the size of the pot and plant. If you're new to the product, start with a small quantity rather than applying heavily.

A Simple Guide For Home Gardeners

• Small Pots: Start with approximately 1–2 teaspoons.
• Medium Pots: Start with approximately 1–2 tablespoons.
• Large Pots / Grow Bags: Use a larger quantity according to the size of the plant and growing medium.
• Large Garden Plants: Apply around the root zone and incorporate gently into the soil.

Do not place large quantities directly against the plant stem. Since groundnut cake is an organic material that breaks down in soil, application frequency should depend on plant size, soil condition and your overall fertilizing routine.

Method 2: Groundnut Cake Liquid Manure

1. Crush the groundnut cake if necessary.
2. Add it to a container of water.
3. Allow it to soak and decompose for several days in a shaded outdoor location, stirring periodically.
4. Strain the liquid before applying.
5. Dilute further with water before using around plants.

Different gardeners use different concentrations, so begin with a dilute solution and observe how your plants respond. Do not use concentrated groundnut-cake liquid directly on delicate plants.

Groundnut Cake For Pots & Grow Bags

Especially useful for home gardeners with indoor and balcony plants, vegetable grow bags, flowering plants, herbs, tomato and chilli plants, cucumbers and other vegetables, outdoor plants, and ornamental plants.

Groundnut Cake vs. Neem Cake vs. Mustard Cake

All three are traditional oil cakes, but have different roles in gardening. Groundnut cake is primarily used as an organic manure and nutrient source. Neem cake is commonly used as an organic soil amendment and is particularly valued for its association with soil and pest-management practices. Mustard cake is another traditional oil cake commonly used as an organic manure. Gardeners may use different oil cakes according to their plant and soil needs, and Mesmara offers all of them in our Traditional Oil Cakes collection.

Why Mesmara Sells Oil Cakes

At Mesmara, we make traditional cold-pressed oils. When oil is extracted from seeds, the seed material doesn't simply disappear: the oil becomes one product, and the remaining seed cake becomes another. This is why our Traditional Oil Cakes collection includes products such as Groundnut Cake, Mustard Cake and Neem Cake, a more complete way of looking at traditional oil pressing, from seed to oil to oil cake to a genuinely useful product. Instead of treating groundnut cake simply as waste, it can be put to practical use as organic manure, making it particularly interesting for gardeners who appreciate traditional, low-waste approaches to agriculture and gardening.
