Fish, Blood & Bone | Multi Purpose Organic Fertiliser / Plant Food | NPK 5-5-6 | 25kg treats 360sq.m when applied at 70gsm

  • REVITALISE YOUR LAWN – Fish, Blood & Bone replaces nutrients lost and revitalises grass, making for a denser sward and healthier lawn.
  • HIGH IN NITROGEN – This is taken up by the plant roots as a slow release fertilizer. Perfect for leafy plants like grass, lettuces & brassicas as well as fruits & vegetables. Supplementing this essential nutrient will provide great returns and a better yield.
  • REDUCE POLLUTION AND PLANT DISEASE – When we apply fish meal to a contaminated soil, bacteria that degrade harmful products like petrol, diesel or oil feed on it and thrive. It also reduces root rot, a plant attacked by root rot is unable to take up nutrients and will die off. This is reduced when fish meal is applied.
  • MAKES ROOTS GROW STRONGER – Stronger and deeper root systems result in better plant growth, better crops and healthier and improved soils.
  • CAUTION: Occasionally dogs and other animals may be attracted to the smell of Fish Blood and Bone meal. Store away from the reach of children and animals. Always wear gloves while handling. Please note, this is an organic-based fertiliser and also has chemical additives.

Product Description

Fish, Blood & Bone Organic Fertiliser | 500g – 25kg Weights Available in Bags & Tubs

Fish, Blood & Bone meal strengthens garden plants, lawns, fruits and vegetables. It also improves the soil, the life of the bacteria in the soil and beneficial fungi such as mycorrhiza and micro bacteria. Fish, Blood & Bone cannot be taken up by the plants unless transformed (mineralisation) by bacteria from its organic state into an inorganic one. Mineralisation happens only when the conditions in the soil are right. It depends very much on the temperature of the soil, the water content, the pH, the amount of organic material, the time of application and the carbon 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. It is best to use a lawn spreader when applying the mixture, ensuring thin and even distribution. Any spillage will burn the lawn and you have to brush, spread and thoroughly water-in the overdose. Blood and fish dilutes, the bone meal remains on the surface and disappear in any cracks or be taken up by worms.

Uses:

  • Planting trees, hedges, shrubs, plants in pots, perennials, bulbs.
  • As a lawn fertilizer.
  • As a surface fertilizer around garden plants.
  • Use the recommended amount.
  • Plants in pots, containers, window boxes.
  • Growing fruits and vegetables.
  • Activating bacteria in a compost heap.
  • To mix with potting compost if it has no added fertilizer.

Application:

If applying Fish, Blood & Bone by hand, always cover the hand with plastic gloves. You can also feed with a small measuring cup such as those you will find on top of liquid fertilizer bottles. The trick is to use Fish, Blood & Bone sparingly. Always mix it well with the soil and water the mixture. Before planting or sowing: Apply 140g/m² and lightly fork or rake in to the soil. As a top dressing: Apply 70g/m² around the plants and lightly fork in to the soil.

Please Note: To offer the best possible value, smaller weights are repackaged into clear packaging with a black and white label and larger quantities will be supplied in manufacturer’s bags. Images shown are for illustrative purposes only.
