A fast-acting, high-potency boost of Nitrogen (N), the primary nutrient responsible for vigorous, dark green, leafy growth. This organic meal is perfect for jump-starting spring growth, correcting pale or yellow foliage, and providing a quick, healthy surge of energy to heavy feeders.
-
Best For:
- Leafy Greens: Spinach, Kale, Lettuce, and other vegetables where foliage is the primary harvest.
- Heavy Feeders: Corn, sprawling annuals, and large shade trees needing a nitrogen boost.
- Quick Correction: Fixing nitrogen deficiency (pale green/yellow leaves) quickly.
- Bonus: Can be used sparingly to deter rabbits and deer due to its scent.
-
Key Actionable Steps:
- How to Apply: Apply the granules as a side-dress around the drip line of established plants (do not pile it near the stem) or mix into the soil when planting.
- Water In: Water thoroughly immediately after application to dissolve the nutrients and prevent it from "burning" the plant roots.
- When to Use: Apply in the early spring to boost foliage and reapply every 4-6 weeks during the heavy growing season.
- Pro Tip: Blood meal is fast-acting, so use it judiciously; too much nitrogen can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowers and fruit.
