A fertilizer composition having as its principal component inedible egg product that has been classified as unfit for human consumption. The inedible egg product is pasteurized and may be dried into powder form or utilized as a liquid. The fertilizer composition may be organic and may optionally contain additional components. In dried form, the organic fertilizer composition can be tilled directly into the soil. Because it utilizes inedible egg product, the organic fertilizer composition has several advantages compared to traditional organic fertilizers, particularly a short release time, cost-effectiveness, lack of undesirable residual components, and availability.
