Know before you buy
The 13-0-0 ratio indicates a high concentration of nitrogen, which is the primary nutrient responsible for vigorous vegetative growth and deep green foliage. It is best used for plants that need a boost in leaf production rather than flowering or fruit development.
While it is excellent for leafy vegetables, shrubs, and annuals, it is not a complete fertilizer. Because it lacks phosphorus and potassium, it should be used as a targeted nitrogen supplement rather than a standalone food for plants that require balanced nutrition for blooming.
Blood meal is a high-nitrogen additive that acts as a 'green' material, which helps balance the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in your compost. Adding it can significantly speed up the decomposition process, especially if your pile is heavy on dry, brown materials like leaves or straw.
No, this product is in a granular form and is not water-soluble. It is designed to be worked into the soil or top-dressed, where it will break down slowly over time to provide a steady release of nutrients.
Because it is a long-lasting, slow-release amendment, you typically only need to apply it at the start of the growing season or when you notice signs of nitrogen deficiency, such as yellowing leaves. Always follow the application rates on the package to avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of fruit.
