About this deal

Fish, Blood & Bone meal strengthens garden plants, lawns, fruits and vegetables. It also improves the soil, the life of the bacteria in the soil and beneficial fungi such as mycorrhiza and micro bacteria. Fish, Blood & Bone cannot be taken up by the plants unless transformed (mineralisation) by bacteria from its organic state into an inorganic one. Mineralisation happens only when the conditions in the soil are right. It depends very much on the temperature of the soil, the water content, the pH, the amount of organic material, the time of application and the carbon in the soil. It is best to apply fish, blood and bone before plants are actively growing, in March, which is an ideal month. This will give enough feed for 4 to 6 weeks, which is enough time for the plants to start growing. You can repeat dosage in early summer to give the plants an additional boost. Fish, blood and bone not only prolongs flowering and fruiting, but it also improves vegetable and fruit colour and flavour, and aids in ripening of fruits and vegetables too. Soil bacteria will use some of the fertiliser for their own growth and wellbeing, which will encourage the plant to develop faster and healthier.

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. Fish meal is the leftover and unwanted products from the fishing industry, as more waste is produced than actually fish eaten. The unwanted fish, fish bones and fish trimmings are dried, pressed and grounded into the final product. Fishbones are a great fertilizer During the growing season, sprinkle evenly over the soil around plants. Gently work it into the soil surface with a hand fork or hoe without disturbing the plant roots and water in thoroughly.

I have used both products with great results and I have no preference. The application rate is quite similar. Less for fish, blood and bone and so you can save some money. The costs are roughly the same and so you are spoilt for choice.

Do not exceed the appropriate application rate. Increasing the dosage may result in damage to your plants

Levington® Fish, Blood & Bone Multi Purpose Plant Food can be applied prior to sowing or planting and as needed throughout the growing season.The formulation was developed ad hoc, with testing being a premium as farming lands were not tested individually. That is why a standardised approach was developed in the time of need. As it is made artificial the NPK ratio can be controlled better; the quote ratio in growmore is 7% nitrogen, 7% phosphorous pentoxide and 7% potassium oxide. Use every time you are preparing the soil for planting. Sprinkle evenly over the soil and mix in well. Water well after planting out, especially in dry weather.
