Blood & Bone (with Rock Dust)
NASAA Cert. No. 6327M
This Certified Organic Blood and Bone fertiliser is a pure product, locally made from quality organic blood and bone and contains no added urea and no fillers. It can be used for all plants, including lawns and natives, and provides nitrogen for strong, leafy growth making it one of the fertilisers favoured by organic growers.
Nitrogen is one of the three macronutrients (Phosphorus and Potassium are the other two) and is essential for vigorous growth. Blood & bone also contains phosphorus, used by plants for root development. Blood and Bone works well when used at the same time as Potash, as it contains Potassium which promotes fruiting and flowering and strong cellular growth. This Blood and Bone formulation also contains Rock Dust which supplies a range of trace elements and beneficial microbes.
