Westland Growmore Garden Fertiliser, 10 kg

Product Information

I have used both products with great results and I have no preference. The application rate is quite similar. Less for fish, blood and bone and so you can save some money. The costs are roughly the same and so you are spoilt for choice. 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 Each batch that is made will be different and will depend on the manufacturers’ specifications, but ballpark figures can be used.

The first chemical revolution in agriculture started over 100 years ago, when soil fertilization was discovered; the second chemical revolution - the idea of foliar feeding as an effective and important tool in crop fertility - is going to be common only in our generation. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Fish meal, along with the other constituents contains a lot of nitrogen, which is taken up as nitrate by the plant roots. This is ideal for growing leafy vegetable, whilst the phosphorous content is great for root formation. It makes plants grow stronger and healthier. Fish meal tends to have a nitrogen; phosphorous and potassium ratio (NPK) of 10: 6: 2 and it contains some trace elements. BLOOD MEAL Straight fertilisers: These contain only one or mainly one nutrient. They are usually used to provide different nutrients at different times of the year, or to correct particular nutrient deficiencies. They are usually inorganic. The main difference is that fish, blood and bone is organically made out of natural waste products, whilst growmore is made out of inorganic compounds mixed together. That is the main difference, where fish, blood and bones are used for those who want to garden using organic principles, whilst growmore is for those who do not mind using synthetic, man-made products. New compost looks good enough to eatIf you are into organic gardening then fish, blood and bone is the product for you, or if you are not bothered as long as the product does the job, then you can use either. To give an idea of cost per square metre, growmore will cost around 10p and fish, blood and bone will cost around 5p for the recommended application rate.

make sure the area is free of weeds and that the soil is moist. sprinkle granules evenly over the planting area Organic fertilisers: These are derived from plant or animal sources and contain plant nutrients in organic form. Organic products tend to be slower acting, as large organic molecules have to be broken down by soil organisms before the nutrients within them are released for plant use. Examples of organic fertilisers include: seaweed, hoof & horn, dried blood, fish blood & bone, bone meal, poultry manure pellets and liquid comfrey or nettle feeds. Other widely available products include Miracle-GroPerformance Organics All Purpose Concentrated Liquid Plant Food andLevingtonTomorite Organic Concentrate. Bumper Crop Growmore Fertiliser is a multi-purpose plant food with an even balance of nutrients to feed all the plants in your garden. A single application forked well into the soil will last up to 2 months. Alternatively, Growmore can be applied to the soil surface once a month to keep your plants well fed throughout the growing season. General Plant Feeding Growmore can be applied from February to the end of October, apply during dry weather and work into the soil with a fork, watering before and after planting. They are both just as effective as each other, the choice of which one to use is based on your preference. They are both short term fertilisers, only provided enough food for plants for 4 to 6 weeks. If you are looking for more long term fertilizers, which release their nutrients over a long period of time, then I suggest you read my article on slow-release fertilisers. WHAT IS FISH, BLOOD AND BONE FERTILIZERS?Mineral uptake will be influenced by soil temperature, water content, pH and concentration of nutrients already present in the soil or compost. The fertilisers must be added when the plant needs it; too much fertiliser will not be uptaken by the plants but will run off and leach in the rain, and be wasted. Formulated to be compatible with most common pesticides and fungicides - especially suited for aircraft applications. This is highly unlikely but there is a very remote possibility that a severe deficiency in one element can remain after the fertiliser has been added. It can be reduced but it may not be totally eliminated. WHICH ONE DO I PREFER?

The formulation was developed ad hoc, with testing being a premium as farming lands were not tested individually. That is why a standardised approach was developed in the time of need. As it is made artificial the NPK ratio can be controlled better; the quote ratio in growmore is 7% nitrogen, 7% phosphorous pentoxide and 7% potassium oxide. 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.This does not equate to an NPK ratio of 7:7:7 but actually converts to NPK of 7:3.8:5.8, so it is not a totally balanced fertiliser that some make it out to be. It contains more nitrogen than the other elements and no trace elements are present, which can be found in fish, blood and bone. Elixir Special Blend Growmore is a multi-purpose plant food with an even balance of nutrients to feed all the plants in your garden. A single application forked well into the soil will last up to 2 months. Alternatively, Growmore can be applied to the soil surface once a month to keep your plants well fed throughout the growing season. General Plant Feeding Growmore has a ratio of 7:7:7 for these materials, but is actually 7 percent nitrogen, 3.1 percent phosphorus and 5.8 percent potassium, or 7:3.1:5.8. Therefore it is a high-nitrogen feed, rather than the ‘balanced’ fertiliser commonly assumed 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

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. ALL PURPOSE PLANT FOOD - GroundMaster Growmore General Purpose Ferliliser is a well-balanced and suitable feeding solution for all types of Trees and Ornamental Plants, Fruits and Vegetables.

General Plant Feeding

This is where balanced fertilizers that are added as a granular feed around the plant to supply the necessary nutrients, which can feed the plant up to 6 weeks. This dry material that is applied to the compost gradually dissolves and is uptaken by the plants. THERE ARE TWO COMMON GRANULAR FEEDS Safe and effective for tfte many different species and sizes of plants grown together in greenhouses and nurseries. It is best to apply fish, blood and bone before plants are actively growing, in March, which is an ideal month. This will give enough feed for 4 to 6 weeks, which is enough time for the plants to start growing. You can repeat dosage in early summer to give the plants an additional boost.
