High Powered Organics Karanja Meal – Organic Soil Food with Natural IPM Benefits
I don't know Karate, but I know Karanja…
That’s right—we managed to get our hands on this powerhouse organic soil amendment, and it’s ready to level up your garden.
Karanja Meal, also known as Karanja Cake, is derived from the seeds of the Pongamia pinnata tree, an evergreen legume. After the oil is cold-pressed from the seeds, the remaining material is dried, crushed, and milled into a nutrient-rich soil input packed with benefits for both plants and soil life.
Often mentioned alongside Neem Meal (another favourite of ours), Karanja shares many similar benefits but brings its own unique strengths to the table. When combined, they offer synergistic effects—particularly when used in living soil systems and IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategies.
Why Growers Love Karanja Meal:
✔ Supports Beneficial Soil Life – Quickly broken down by earthworms and soil microbes
✔ IPM-Friendly – Known to help suppress pests like fungus gnats and soil-borne insects
✔ Boosts Terpene & Oil Production – Anecdotal reports of increased flavour and resin
✔ Low Odour – Unlike Neem, Karanja has a mild, nutty scent—ideal for indoor use
✔ Sustainable & Organic – A natural, eco-conscious way to build healthier soil
Recommended Use:
Mix ½ cup (125ml) per 40L of soil, or apply as a top dressing for ongoing benefit.
Bring the power of Karanja into your garden with High Powered Organics—your plants (and microbes) will thank you.
