FAQs

How often should I apply Westland Fish, Blood & Bone?

Generally, apply in early spring as the growing season begins and again in early summer. For established plants or specific needs, a mid-summer application may be beneficial, but avoid applying in late autumn or winter.

Can I use this product on indoor plants?

While it is primarily designed for outdoor garden use, it can be used for very large indoor plants or those in large containers with good drainage. However, be mindful of the odor and ensure adequate ventilation.

What does NPK 3-9-3 mean?

NPK refers to the percentage by weight of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). In this case, it's 3% Nitrogen for leafy growth, 9% Phosphorus for root and flower development, and 3% Potassium for overall plant health.

Is this product safe for pets?

While it is a natural product, it is not intended for consumption by pets. Store it securely and clean up any excess product that may attract animals. Always follow packaging instructions regarding safety.

How long does it take to see results?

Visible improvements, such as greener foliage and stronger growth, typically appear within 2-4 weeks of application, depending on plant type, weather conditions, and soil.

Can I use Westland Fish, Blood & Bone with other fertilizers?

It's best to use this product as your primary fertilizer to avoid over-fertilizing. If using other feeds, ensure the combined nutrient levels do not exceed your plants' requirements. It's generally not recommended to mix it directly with high-nitrogen liquid feeds.

Troubleshooting

Plant shows signs of yellowing or stunted growth after application.

This could indicate over-fertilization. Ensure you have followed the recommended application rates. If applied too heavily, water the area thoroughly to help dilute the nutrients. Avoid repeat applications until plant health improves.

Unpleasant odor persists around the application area.

The natural odor is characteristic of this product and will dissipate over time as the nutrients break down into the soil. Ensure you have forked it into the soil as recommended, which helps to reduce the immediate smell.

Granules seem to be washing away after watering.

Ensure the granules are lightly forked into the topsoil rather than left entirely on the surface, especially on slopes. This helps them integrate with the soil structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is ready to use straight from the box. No mixing or preparation is required. Simply open the box and apply as directed.

Application:

  1. Apply evenly around the base of plants, keeping it away from direct contact with stems or leaves.
  2. Gently fork into the top layer of soil for best results, especially when preparing new beds or borders.
  3. Water thoroughly after application to help the nutrients begin to break down and become available to the plants.

Compatibility: Westland Fish, Blood & Bone is suitable for use with most garden plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, shrubs, and roses. It is an excellent choice for general soil improvement. It is not recommended for acid-loving plants like rhododendrons or azaleas without specific soil amendment.
