Blood meal is a high-quality, organic fertilizer that is made from dried blood. It is a very concentrated source of nitrogen, which means that it can provide a quick boost of nutrients to your plants. Blood meal is especially beneficial for plants that require a lot of nitrogen, such as leafy greens and vegetables.
Here's how blood meal can help your garden:
-
Enhances plant growth: Blood meal is a fast-acting source of nitrogen, which can help to stimulate plant growth. This can lead to larger, healthier plants with more abundant yields.
-
Improves soil health: Blood meal can help to improve soil health by increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil. This can help to improve drainage, aeration, and water retention, which can all benefit plant growth.
How to use blood meal:
Blood meal can be applied to the soil at planting time, or it can be side-dressed throughout the growing season.
The application rate of blood meal will vary depending on the soil type and the desired results. However, a general rule of thumb is to apply 1/2 to 1 tablespoon per 5 liters of soil.
