Product Information
Full details
Levington Fish Blood & Bone is designed for home gardeners looking to boost the growth, health, and yields of their ornamental plants, fruits, and vegetables through a balanced organic-based nutrient source. By providing a classic NPK 5-3-6 ratio, it ensures steady growth and improved soil fertility; however, it is a slow-release granular feed, meaning it is not the most effective choice for plants requiring an immediate 'quick-fix' nutrient boost.

FAQs
Can I use this on indoor plants?
It is primarily designed for outdoor garden use; indoor use may attract pests or create unwanted odors.
When is the best time to apply it?
Spring and early summer are the best times, though it can be applied whenever new planting is taking place.
Is it safe for organic gardening?
It is an organic-based feed, though you should always check your local organic certification standards if you are growing strictly organic crops.
How long do the nutrients last?
The slow-release nature provides a steady feed over several weeks, depending on rainfall and soil activity.
Can I overfeed my plants with this?
While it is balanced, always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging to prevent nutrient burn.
Troubleshooting
Pellets are not dissolving
Ensure the pellets are properly watered in after application; they require soil moisture to break down effectively.
Plants are showing signs of nutrient deficiency
This is a slow-release feed; if immediate growth is needed, check soil pH levels as high alkalinity may lock out essential nutrients.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, measure the amount according to your plant size and soil conditions. Always wear gardening gloves when handling to prevent skin irritation. Ensure the pellets are worked into the top 2-3 inches of soil rather than leaving them sitting on the surface, which can attract pests or lead to drying. Store the bag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from degrading the pellet structure. Keep the product away from pets and children, and wash hands thoroughly after each application.
