Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Organics Blood Meal
by Organic Fertilizer — Littleton, NH
Fastest Organic N Release
Blood meal breaks down faster than any other organic nitrogen source. Expect visible greening in 1–2 weeks vs. 4–8 weeks for feather meal or soybean meal.
12% Pure Organic Nitrogen
The highest nitrogen concentration among organic amendments. 12% N from dried blood — pure protein that soil microbes convert rapidly to plant-available forms.
Heavy Feeder Rescue
Corn, brassicas, leafy greens, and tomatoes showing yellow leaves from nitrogen deficiency respond rapidly. Side-dress and water in for fast correction.
Natural Iron Source
Blood is rich in iron. Every application delivers supplemental iron that boosts chlorophyll production and deepens green color in foliage.
Compost Activator
Sprinkle on carbon-heavy compost piles to boost the C:N ratio and accelerate decomposition. Blood meal is one of the best nitrogen sources for hot composting.
Natural Deer Deterrent
The scent of blood meal deters deer and rabbits from garden beds. A feeding and protection strategy in one product — reapply after rain.
Organic Approved
Dried blood meal is a standard organic input approved for certified organic production. Safe for NOP-compliant gardens and farms.
