Blood Meal (BM) is made of dried and powdered blood of animals (usually cattle), and is used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer for plants. It has been utilized by organic gardeners for years.

The proteins in this fertilizer are broken down to ammonia by soil bacteria and make it an effective source of nitrogen. Caution should be used though, when the whether is warm and the conditions are moist, because the decomposition can be too rapid, which could damage delicate roots.

BM Use

• Used to increase green leaf growth
• Can be used as a compost decomposition activator
• Do not use around seedlings
• Use only on non-legumes (peas and beans) plants
• When adding to your garden as a nitrogen source, always blend it into the soil
• Scattered around the garden make a good Deer deterrent
