What is Fish, Blood & Bone?
Fish Blood and Bone Meal, an organic compound fertiliser with an NPK analysis of 5-5-6. Made from natural ingredients of fish, blood, and bone, it nourishes plants and enriches overall soil health. This fertiliser stimulates microscopic life, encourages beneficial fungi like mycorrhiza, and ensures vigorous growth with dense foliage and abundant blooms. It’s a comprehensive approach to plant care, supporting immediate needs and long-term vitality. Our Fish Blood and Bone Meal strengthens plants and soil, improving foliage, lawns, and edible crops. It fosters early-season microbial activity and converts from organic to inorganic forms for optimal absorption by the plants. Using it at the right time is crucial to prevent unnecessary waste and to help soil bacteria absorb portions, promoting a thriving ecosystem. For an even distribution, use a lawn spreader and manage any surplus carefully by brushing and over-watering in, this will prevent scorching by diluting the blood and fish whilst the bone meal remains on the surface to seep into any cracks or be consumed by wormsWhat is Fish, Blood & Bone used for?
