Will veg grow without manure?Will veg grow without manure?
Blood fish and bone is a standard basic fertiliser, has been used since the year dot, I think. It is organic in that it is made from animal ingredients, but you may need to think what those animals have been fed on or treated with (hormones, antibiotics, etc). You also need to use gloves when applying it (this is advised on the pack and makes me wonder exactly why).
I think this is a general super-cautious warning - if you look at a bag of bought potting compost it says the same - as if we haven't got the sense to wash compost etc. off our hands before we eat!!!
