Black Gold® Blood Meal
If your plants need a quick shot of nitrogen, then Black Gold® Blood Meal is a great choice. Blood meal is broken down in the soil by organisms that quickly release the nitrogen to the plant. Additionally, Blood Meal contains essential trace elements including iron, a nutrient often lacking in more alkaline soils.  A word of warning: Blood Meal can burn plants due to the rapid release of the nitrogen. It is crucial that you read the Black Gold® Blood Meal label for directions before you use the product.

Derived from blood meal, the guaranteed analysis of this natural and organic fertilizer is a balanced 13-0-0, meaning it is 13% nitrogen, 0% phosphate and 0% potash. The nitrogen is available in a readily available form. Black Gold® Blood Meal should be used at time of planting, and then it is best to refer to the packaging for crop-specific instructions. Refer to the When to Fertilize article for rates and additional information. Black Gold® Blood Meal is a popular natural and organic fertilizer for vegetables, all types of flowers, roses, shrubs and indoor and outdoor container gardens.


Black Gold® Bone Meal
Gardeners have used bone meal to supply phosphorous to plants for years. In addition to phosphorus, Black Gold® Bone Meal also supplies lower levels of nitrogen, potassium and calcium. Traditionally, bone meal has been used to promote the establishment of spring and summer bulbs. Microbial activity in the soil breaks down the phosphorous over time to promote root development, due to the phosphorous and cell wall strengthened from the calcium. Bone meal can be added directly into a hole when you are planting bulbs. The guaranteed analysis is a balanced 3-15-0, meaning it is 3% nitrogen, 15% phosphate and 0% potash. The nitrogen and phosphorous will slowly release over time. Black Gold® Bone Meal should be used at time of planting for a new planting, and then it is best to refer to the packaging for crop-specific instructions. Refer to the When to Fertilize article for rates and additional information. Black Gold® Bone Meal is recommended for bulbs, vegetables, annual and perennial flowers, roses, shrubs and indoor and outdoor containers.
