The Fast Organic Nitrogen — Green-Up Power for Lawns, Greens, and Heavy Feeders
Old Cobblers Farm Wicked Organics Blood Meal is a single-ingredient organic fertilizer: dried animal blood, ground to a 12-0-0 meal. Among organic inputs it's the sprinter — a highly concentrated nitrogen source that soil moisture and biology make available quickly, which is exactly what you want when leaves are yellowing, growth has stalled, or a heavy feeder is gearing up.
Nitrogen is the leaf-and-blade nutrient, and blood meal delivers it where leaves are the crop: lettuce, spinach, and other leafy greens, sweet corn, brassicas from broccoli to cabbage, spring garlic and onions, and lawns at roughly 1 lb of actual nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft. Its speed is also its discipline: this is a hot, concentrated product, so measured rates, distance from stems, and a thorough watering-in are part of every application — and a light sprinkle doubles as a compost activator, giving carbon-heavy piles the nitrogen they need to heat up.
Key Benefits
The fast organic nitrogen — Among organic nitrogen sources, blood meal is the quick one — soil moisture and biology make its 12% N available fast, for visible green-up when plants are yellowing or stalled.
Built for heavy feeders — Corn, leafy greens, brassicas, and spring garlic and onions are the garden's biggest nitrogen consumers — and exactly what this product is for, with crop-specific rates included.
Deficiency correction — Pale, yellowing leaves and stunted growth are nitrogen deficiency's signature — a measured application addresses the cause.
Real lawn math — 7–8 lbs per 1,000 sq ft delivers roughly 1 lb of actual nitrogen — the standard turf feeding — from an organic source.
Compost activator — A light sprinkle between layers gives carbon-heavy compost piles the nitrogen they need to heat up and break down faster.
One ingredient, no surprises — Single ingredient, firm 12% analysis, and honest cautions about burn risk and animal attraction — the label tells you everything.
Where to use it: vegetable gardens and heavy-feeding crops, lawns and turf, flower beds and ornamentals, trees and shrubs, containers, and compost piles — anywhere a nitrogen deficiency (yellowing, pale foliage, slow growth) needs correcting.
Application Instructions
Application Instructions
-Transplants: 1 teaspoon per planting hole, mixed and watered in — a light touch; young plants burn easily
-Established plants (side-dress): 1–2 teaspoons per plant monthly during vegetative growth
-Brassicas: ¼ cup per plant at planting time
-Alliums (garlic/onions): 1 cup per 5-foot row in spring
-Lawns: 7–8 lbs per 1,000 sq ft (≈1 lb actual nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft)
-Containers: 1–2 teaspoons per gallon of soil
-Compost activator: sprinkle lightly between layers to accelerate decomposition
Steps:
1. Measure the rate for the job — with blood meal, more is never better; it's a concentrated, fast-acting product.
2. Apply to the soil, keeping it off foliage and away from direct contact with stems — contact can burn plants.
3. Work lightly into the surface (top 3 inches at bed prep) — incorporation also keeps it away from pets and wildlife.
4. Water thoroughly after every application to activate the nutrients and move them into the root zone.
When and how often: monthly during vegetative growth; spring for alliums and lawns; at planting for brassicas and transplants.
What NOT to do: do not exceed the rates, do not let it contact stems or foliage, do not leave it on the soil surface where animals can reach it, and do not over-apply to fruiting crops late in the season — late nitrogen pushes leaves at the harvest's expense.
Ingredients
Ingredients
The only ingredient — dried, ground animal blood, a protein meal that soil moisture and microorganisms convert to plant-available nitrogen quickly. The microbial breakdown is also what makes it work as a compost activator.
