About this deal

If your dog already has symptoms of fertiliser poisoning, there is no antidote. Instead, your veterinarian will treat the symptoms that are appearing. Anti-vomiting drugs, intestinal protectors and anti-diarrrhoeals can be used. If your dog is at risk of dehydration, liquids can be administered drop by drop. Pain relief may also be necessary if your dog is showing signs of abdominal or muscle pain.

Bone meal is especially high in phosphorus and calcium, but not much else. During fruiting, bone meal should be applied as a preventative measure or treatment for calcium-related deficiencies, or if you notice the onset of bud rot or bud drop in any plant. A: There’s no hard and fast rule here, as every plant has different nutritional needs, and every soil profile does too. For consistent applications during the growing season, give your soil a little bit every 2 to 3 months. Through my tests and experiments, I’ve found that dahlias respond well to regular deadheading and this can encourage more blooms to form, often well into autumn until the first frosts. However, liquid blood and bone is mainly used for commercial applications such as for turf farms, golf courses, and commercial growers. The Blood and Bone Plus Potash forumla contains 90% organic meat meal (compared to the usual 65%) and is recommended for flowers and fruit. What’s the difference?Evaluate your dog for emergency signs, such as difficulty breathing, swelling or gums with abnormal colouration. There is no one fertilizer that will support all plants, but the standard all-purpose blend of 5:5:5 or 10:10:10 works well for most plants. Blood Fish & Bone is a granular, powdered material which can be applied via hand or fertiliser spreader to all plants and crops. P – The second number represents the amount of phosphorus in the product. Phosphorus promotes root growth and flowering. Fish, blood and bone fertiliser is perfect as it fully dissolves in about 3-4 weeks and provides gradually released nutrients to the plants without burning them.

Chen, L.; J. Helenius; A. Kangus (2009). "NJF Seminar 422: Meat bone meal as nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer (abstract)" (PDF). Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists. 5 (2): 26 . Retrieved 23 November 2012.Although bone meal is not a substitute for blood meal, it can be used in the form of bone meal powder for plants. You can also use fish fertilizers, alfalfa meal, and feather meal. You can also find many vegan-friendly options if you prefer organic fertilizers without animal products. Where to Buy The amount of fertiliser that will be toxic to your dog depends on the type of fertiliser and the size of your dog. Approximately, the dose you should worry about your dog is 0.5 g of fertiliser for every 2 lb of body weight. In other words, a 20 lb dog should definitely visit the veterinarian if it eats only a teaspoon of fertiliser. For liquid fertilisers, the risk of impaction is lower, but the same calculation applies – 5ml of fertiliser should mean a call to the veterinarian. Symptoms of fertiliser poisoning in dogs

As a top dressing around your vegetable garden. Just sprinkle around your plants, water and rake in. This will provide your vegetables with much needed nutrients to help them produce a plentiful harvest. N – The first number represents the amount of nitrogen in the product. Nitrogen promotes vigorous leaf growth and deep greening of plants, but too much can cause burning of foliage. If vigorous leaf growth is your aim, then Blood and Bone is the best choice. But keep in mind that high Nitrogen levels can cause burning of foliage. As bone meal is water-insoluble, it needs to be broken down before the plant can absorb it, either by soil acidity or by microbial activity producing acids. According to the Colorado State University, it can only be broken down in acidic soil (pH < 7.0) and releases its nutrients over a span of 1 to 4 months. [6] History [ edit ]Like Miracle-Gro, Scotts is a brand and they make a wide variety of products. Like all fertilisers, they can be dangerous – you should call the pet poisoning helpline or the veterinarian for advice. My dog ate rose fertiliser – will he be okay? As long as the blood is derived from healthy animals, blood meal is mostly safe. Try not to use fertilizer companies that source from places suspected of poor animal welfare or lax food processing laws. There could be pathogens in the meal that may seep into the soil, so make sure you’re only using blood meal that’s high-quality and organic (see our recommendations). What Are Some Substitutes For Blood Meal? Fertilisers are made to cover the three main nutrients for crop growing and are known as NPK fertilisers, because they contain nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). The NPK ratio needed from a fertiliser will depend on the crops being grown and the quality of the soil from which the plants will draw their nutrients. Which products are available to growers?

The process was first suggested by Justus von Liebig (dissolving animal bones in sulphuric acid) around 1840 and first used in Britain by Rev James Robertson in Ellon, Aberdeenshire in 1841. [8] As well as those essential nutrients, blood and bone meal provides huge amounts of iron and calcium to the soil, which is accessible and perfect for fruiting plants around harvest time.

Dogs may be attracted to the bonemeal in this product. Avoid use in areas where dogs have access or work the fertiliser into the soil after application and cover with a 5 cm (2”) layer of chipped bark, soil improver or similar material
