Blood Meal fertilizer (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 weather is warm and the conditions are moist, the
decomposition can be too rapid, which could damage delicate roots and
harm the entire plant.

- 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
