This traditional and valued plant fertilizer has been used by generations of gardeners.
Analysis - nitrogen 5, phosphorus 5, potassium 6.5. i.e. a balance of 3 major plant nutrients.
Source - comes from rendering of surplus animal material. Recycling onto the garden is good organic practice. For a short discussion on related processing see shrub fertilizer.
Application Rate - 2 - 4oz per square yard during soil preparation of new land before digging. Another 1oz per square yard over the seed bed prior to sowing will support seedling roots before they reach the main dose of plant fertilizer. Also try banding alongside new transplants.
Release Rate - medium. It will last over an 8 month growing season. Decomposition can occur at different rates. Some soils hold nutrients better.
Action On Plants - supplies an equally quantity of all major plant nutrients N P K. But plant uptake may be selective and as the season progresses nutrient availability may not match plant uptake. Greens may run short of nitrogen for example. So an additional top dressing or soil amendment may be required.
As an organic plant fertilizer it stimulates growth of the soil microbes that break down organic matter to release and supply plant nutrients. This saves waste.
