My pet hate is liquid fertilisers that are so strong, they burn the foliage or, worse, get washed away as soon as it rains. Ideally, 70 to 140 g per square metre should be added for most plants, less required for leafy crops such as lettuce. To give an idea of scale, a handful should equate to 35 grams, so in a container, you will need to use less than half a hand full.Do not exceed the appropriate application rate. Increasing the dosage may result in damage to your plants. Please note that dogs are attracted to the smell of fish, blood and done, so they will dig around your garden if they detect it. Try to keep dogs away from the product, as you do not want holes in your garden or your containers turned over, making a mess. WHAT IS GROWMORE?

Blood meal is a slaughterhouse by-product, where the blood that are generated from pigs, sheep and cattle are used. The blood is dried and grounded into powder form, and because it comes from blood, it has a high nitrogen and iron content.

The carbon dioxide and water will combine in photosynthesis to produce sugar, which the plant uses to release energy.
