Down To Earth All Natural Fertilizers Organic Blood Meal 12-0-0 (4 lb) is a concentrated, OMRI-listed organic nitrogen source designed to rapidly green up foliage and boost vegetative growth.

This finely ground blood meal supplies a strong, fast-acting dose of nitrogen in an all-natural form, ideal for gardeners who want quick greening without synthetic inputs. OMRI certification confirms it meets organic standards, and its organic matter content helps feed soil biology as well as plants. Use it as a targeted supplement for leafy vegetables, lawns, shrubs and nitrogen-hungry crops to promote vigorous growth during the growing season.

How quickly will my plants respond after applying this blood meal?

Plants often show visible greening within days because blood meal releases nitrogen relatively fast compared with many organic amendments. Response speed depends on soil temperature, moisture and initial soil fertility; warmer, moist soils enhance mineralization and plant uptake.

• Visible leaf color improvement in days under warm, moist conditions
• Best activity when soil microbes can break down organic nitrogen
• Avoid slow or poor results in cold or dry soils

How and where should I apply the 4 lb bag for best results?

Scatter or side-dress the blood meal evenly around the root zone of vegetables, ornamentals and turf, then lightly work it into the soil or water in. For lawns, broadcast it with a spreader and water thoroughly to move nitrogen into the root zone and reduce surface odors.

• Vegetable beds: side-dress or broadcast before planting and during rapid leaf growth
• Lawns: apply with a spreader and irrigate after application
• Flowers/shrubs: apply around the drip line and lightly incorporate

Is this blood meal safe for organic gardens and backyard food production?

Yes—Down To Earth blood meal is OMRI-listed, meaning it is accepted for use in certified organic production when used according to label instructions. It’s a natural animal byproduct processed for garden use and adds nitrogen without synthetic chemicals.

• OMRI certification supports organic farming and gardening standards
• Used as part of an organic fertility program, not a sole input
• Follow label rates to avoid over-application and nutrient imbalance

What precautions or timing tips should I follow when using blood meal?

Blood meal is concentrated; apply at recommended rates to prevent leaf burn or excessive vegetative growth at the expense of blooms or fruit. Keep it dry until application, avoid contact with unprotected hands, and store in a sealed container to deter pests.

• Do not over-apply—follow package rates for different crops
• Apply during active growing periods for best uptake
• Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to maintain quality
