Espoma Organic Blood Meal
Espoma Organic Blood Meal is a 100% natural and organic source of nitrogen designed to encourage vigorous plant growth and richer, darker green foliage. With a 12-0-0 fertilizer analysis, it provides a concentrated source of nitrogen without adding phosphorus or potassium, making it useful when a soil test or plant needs indicate that additional nitrogen is needed. It is suitable for a wide variety of garden plants, including annuals, perennials, vegetables, trees, and shrubs.
Blood Meal is a slow-release organic fertilizer that supplies nitrogen gradually as it breaks down in the soil. Nitrogen is particularly important for leafy growth and chlorophyll production, so adding an appropriate amount can help plants develop fuller foliage and a deep green color. Because it is a single-ingredient fertilizer, it can be used as a targeted amendment when gardeners want to increase nitrogen without applying a complete fertilizer containing additional phosphorus and potassium.
Application Instructions:
- For flowers, vegetables, trees, and shrubs, apply 1 lb. per 100 square feet for normal feeding.
- For heavy feeding, apply 2 lbs. per 100 square feet.
- For individual plants, apply ½ tablespoon per plant around the drip line.
- Sprinkle evenly over garden beds and water thoroughly.
- For individual plants, sprinkle around the drip line and water thoroughly.
- Use most often in spring and fall.
- Blood Meal can be used throughout the growing season when additional nitrogen is desired.
- Avoid overapplication and follow the recommended rates on the product label.

Apply Blood Meal directly to garden beds or around individual plants, then water thoroughly. It is most commonly used in spring and fall, although it can be applied throughout the growing season when additional nitrogen is needed. Use the recommended application rate rather than applying more than necessary, since excessive nitrogen can produce overly vigorous foliage at the expense of other aspects of plant growth.
