Vitax Blood Fish & Bone Fertiliser,10kg

Product Information

Fish, blood and bone is far easier to work with than manure or other smelly soil improvers and natural feeds. 3) Organic and Natural Blood meal is a slaughterhouse by-product, where the blood that are generated from pigs, sheep and cattle are used. The blood is dried and grounded into powder form, and because it comes from blood, it has a high nitrogen and iron content. Nitrogen is important for new, shoot growth and helps in controlling how carbon dioxide is absorbed. The carbon dioxide and water will combine in photosynthesis to produce sugar, which the plant uses to release energy.

A. Yes, children and pets can return to the treated areas after application. However some dogs will attempt to eat the product. To avoid this mix well with the soil. Organic Fish, Blood and Bone Feed has been used as a garden fertiliser for as long as any gardener can remember and the balanced nutrient spread of this most traditional of plant feeds makes it ideal for use all around the garden. A. Animals may be attracted to this product. Land where product has been applied should not be used for grazing or cropping for feed stuffs within the following periods (a) 2 months for pigs and (b) 3 weeks for other farm animals. During the growing season, sprinkle evenly over the soil around plants. Gently work it into the soil surface with a hand fork or hoe without disturbing the plant roots and water in thoroughly. Where to useFish, blood and bone fertiliser is perfect as it fully dissolves in about 3-4 weeks and provides gradually released nutrients to the plants without burning them. The nutrients also improve the beneficial culture in encouraging them to grow and flourish, in particular, bacteria and mycorrhiza fungi, thus helping the nutrient uptake.

A. We do not recommend using this product for lawns. Choose a fertiliser that has been specifically designed for lawn use such as Aftercut ultra green Plus or SafeLawn. In a previous article, I talked about the various element deficiencies that plants can suffer from. To overcome these deficiencies, we need fertilisers that particular add the main macronutrients of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Do not forget to feed your soil Fish, blood and bone will replace nutrients lost after cutting your lawn, and revitalise the grass, making for a denser and healthier lawn. Use every time you are preparing the soil for planting. Sprinkle evenly over the soil and mix in well. Water well after planting out, especially in dry weather. In this article, we will be discussing if there is a difference between growmore and fish, blood and bone fertilisers? If so, which is better to use in the container garden?My pet hate is liquid fertilisers that are so strong, they burn the foliage or, worse, get washed away as soon as it rains. Children and pets can continue to use treated areas immediately after application. Some dogs may attempt to eat the product. To avoid this we recommend mixing well with the soil. Fish, blood and bone can improve soil quality by feeding the beneficial bacteria in the soil, which can help to breakdown any harmful toxins and chemicals in the soil. It is important to use the fertilizer when the plant demands it. Each soil has also a saturation level of nutrients it can absorb: when there is too much fertilizer in the ground the plants will not use it and the precious fertilizer will run off or leach. Soil bacteria use some of the fertilizers, in particular fish meal, for their own growth and well being which encourages early season microbial life. Some animals may be attracted to the scent of this product, so it is recommended to mix well into the soil and water well.

Mineral uptake will be influenced by soil temperature, water content, pH and concentration of nutrients already present in the soil or compost. The fertilisers must be added when the plant needs it; too much fertiliser will not be uptaken by the plants but will run off and leach in the rain, and be wasted. I have used both products with great results and I have no preference. The application rate is quite similar. Less for fish, blood and bone and so you can save some money. The costs are roughly the same and so you are spoilt for choice.Fish, blood and bone - an organic, easy to apply general purpose fertiliser which contains all the nutrients needed for strong, healthy plants. Bone meal is made up of animal bones, carcasses and other animal waste products. The animal waste is treated, then dried and finally grounded into a fine powder. It provides the compost with a rich source of prosperous, calcium and micronutrients. Phosphorous is important for root development and seed formation. Bones are another good fertilizer Please note that dogs are attracted to the smell of fish, blood and done, so they will dig around your garden if they detect it. Try to keep dogs away from the product, as you do not want holes in your garden or your containers turned over, making a mess. WHAT IS GROWMORE?
