What Grow More is trying to do with this product is provide a general "organic" basis but also bring the nutrient levels up to crop-level performance. In particular, it contains about 1% seaweed extract and 0.5% Yucca extract. I think it is great for seed starting and for general maintenance of ornamental plants. Beyond that, I will be more specific in my fertilizer recommendations for homeowner plants.
OK, guess my eyes were real tired last night, I missed the Blood Meal part. So most of the organic N is derived from the Blood Meal proteins, got it now.
Is this a totally soluble fert? Going back to the N again, there are raw organic sources of organic N from animal and plant sources and then there are soluble extracts of proteins and amino acids from the same that are more readily available.
