Gaia Green - Blood Meal
Gaia Green Blood Meal
Gaia Green Blood Meal is a fast-acting organic nitrogen fertilizer that provides a concentrated source of plant-available nitrogen for vigorous vegetative growth. As the proteins naturally decompose in the soil, nitrogen is released gradually to help support leafy growth while promoting long-term soil fertility.
Its free-flowing texture makes it easy to apply by hand or with most fertilizer spreaders. Blood Meal is suitable for vegetable gardens, flower beds, trees, shrubs, lawns, and compost where additional nitrogen is required.
Gaia Green Blood Meal is approved for use in organic agriculture by Ecocert Canada in accordance with the Canadian Organic Production Systems standards.
