FAQs

What is Fish Blood & Bone feed?

It's an organic-based fertilizer enriched with Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (NPK 4-7-4), and micro-nutrients. It's designed to promote healthy growth, flowering, and fruiting in a wide range of plants.

Can I use this on indoor plants?

Yes, you can use it on indoor plants, but apply it sparingly and ensure the area is well-ventilated due to the organic odor. Lightly scratch a small amount into the topsoil and water.

How often should I apply Verve Fish Blood & Bone?

It's typically applied during the growing season. For most plants, application in early spring and again in autumn is recommended. Follow dosage guidelines carefully.

What does NPK 4-7-4 mean?

NPK refers to the percentages of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) in the fertilizer. So, 4% Nitrogen, 7% Phosphorus, and 4% Potassium, plus essential micro-nutrients.

Is the odor a problem?

The odor is a natural byproduct of the organic ingredients. While noticeable, it usually dissipates after watering. It's generally less of an issue outdoors. If sensitivity is high, consider other fertilizer types for indoor use.

Can I use this on newly planted seeds?

It's generally recommended to wait until seedlings have established a bit before applying. For seeds, a starter fertilizer might be more appropriate. Check specific plant recommendations.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the feed should remain effective for several years.

Troubleshooting

No noticeable improvement in plant growth.

Ensure the fertilizer was applied correctly and watered in. Check if the dosage was sufficient for the plant size and stage. Plants may also need time to respond, especially during cooler weather.

Leaves are yellowing or browning after application.

This could indicate over-fertilization. Water the plant thoroughly to leach excess nutrients from the soil. Reduce the amount applied in subsequent applications.

Unpleasant odor is too strong indoors.

This is a natural characteristic of organic fertilizers. For indoor use, consider applying very sparingly or using a slow-release or liquid alternative if odor is a significant concern. Ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

This feed is designed for direct application to the soil. Simply sprinkle the granules around the base of the plant, lightly scratching them into the top layer of soil. Water thoroughly after application to help release the nutrients.

Dosage:

  • General Use (Beds & Borders): Apply approximately 70g per square meter.
  • Individual Plants (Shrubs, Roses, Fruit Trees): Apply 50-100g per plant, depending on size.
  • Pots & Containers: Use sparingly, about 1-2 level spoonfuls per pot, worked into the top soil.

Always follow the recommended dosage to avoid damaging plants. It is best to apply during the growing season (spring and autumn).

Compatibility:

Verve Fish Blood & Bone Plant Feed is suitable for most outdoor and indoor plants. It is generally compatible with other organic soil amendments. Avoid mixing directly with synthetic fertilizers, as this may lead to nutrient imbalances.

Care & Storage:

Store the feed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the packaging is tightly sealed to maintain efficacy. Wash hands after use.
