Dried Blood

Dried Blood is one of the highest non-synthetic sources of nitrogen. Most often used as an organic fertilizer, it can also be a compost activator and can be spread on the garden to deter deer, rabbits and other rodents from browsing. The high levels of nitrogen can also help raise the pH of your soil. Used as an animal food supplement for cattle, fish and poultry, the high lysine content, an essential amino acid that cannot be produced by the human body, but is essential to our health, is attractive to many organic gardeners. Dried Blood is completely soluble, so can be mixed easily with water for liquid applications.  


We recommend testing your soil to determine its current nutrient health prior to adding fertilizers or supplements. We have a full range of soil testers, guaranteed to help you have the most beautiful flower gardens, the most productive vegetable gardens and the healthiest landscape, while providing only what is necessary for the optimal soil health.
