As you can see both products have their own merits, and its use is dependent if you want to go down the organic route or inorganic route, With fish, blood and bone the ratio of NPK will change with the manufacturer and the batch made and so will provide NPK of different levels, which may not work as well for plants suffering from major deficiencies of these elements.Growmore or National growmore to give its proper title, is an inorganic alternative to fish, blood and bone. It is a relatively modern invention due to necessity during the Second World War, as part of the dig for victory campaign, where potash was in great shortage. Potash was normally minded in Germany and as a result of war it was not readily available, and alternatives had to be found.

It feels gritty to touch and it’s obvious this is a natural product rather than the rounded pellets you get with other products.

Phosphorous need mycorrhiza fungi to break down the product and to help it be taken up via the roots of the plant. The first is that it’s a great source of Phosphorus which is used by new plants to produce strong roots and so is great for root vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrot and parsnip.

Aftercare

It isn’t the strongest fertiliser, and I’ve found that some plants may require a top-up with other products to get them to perform at their best. Bone meal is made up of animal bones, carcasses and other animal waste products. The animal waste is treated, then dried and finally grounded into a fine powder. It provides the compost with a rich source of prosperous, calcium and micronutrients. Phosphorous is important for root development and seed formation. Bones are another good fertilizer

While there are many options for organic fertilizers, gardeners often find themselves confused between blood meal and bone meal. Both come from animals, so they’re incredibly safe and organic. However, they provide different nutrient contents to the soil and the plants.In a previous article, I talked about the various element deficiencies that plants can suffer from. To overcome these deficiencies, we need fertilisers that particular add the main macronutrients of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Do not forget to feed your soil The answer to this question is dependent on how the fish meal, blood meal and bone meal are mixed and to what ratio. This is complicated by the age of the fertiliser, how much is applied, the weather it has been exposed to, the soil type and the microbial distribution, as this will change from batch to batch.
