Horn-, Knochen- und Blutmehl in Love Living Soil

The different benefits of horn, bone and blood meal in Love Living Soil

In sustainable growing, organic fertilizers play a central role in promoting healthy soil and strong plants. Horn meal, bone meal and blood meal are three such organic fertilizers derived from byproducts of the meat industry. While each of these fertilizers offers specific benefits, they also share common properties that make them particularly valuable for Living Soil. In this article, we'll look at the combined benefits of horn, bone and blood meal and how they can help improve your crops.

Natural nutrient supply

A common feature of horn, bone and blood meal is their ability to naturally provide the soil with essential nutrients:

  • Horn meal is rich in nitrogen, which is crucial for the growth and green leaf development of plants.
  • Bone meal mainly supplies phosphorus and calcium, which are important for root development and flower formation.
  • Blood meal provides a concentrated source of nitrogen that is quickly available and immediately supports plant growth.

These natural nutrients are released slowly, ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply to the plants.

Soil improvement

The application of these organic fertilizers contributes significantly to improving soil structure. They promote humus formation, increase water retention capacity and improve soil aeration. Well-structured soil allows plant roots to grow deep and absorb nutrients and water more efficiently. This leads to stronger and healthier plants.

Promoting microbial life

Horn, bone and blood meal support the growth and activity of microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms are crucial for the decomposition of organic materials and the release of nutrients that plants need. A soil rich in microbes contributes to soil fertility and creates optimal conditions for plant growth.

Sustainability and environmental friendliness

These organic fertilizers are byproducts of the meat industry and contribute to the sensible use of waste products. Their use in horticulture reduces dependence on synthetic fertilizers and protects the environment. They do not contain harmful chemicals and promote sustainable gardening practices.

Long-term nutrient supply

Although blood meal is readily available, horn and bone meal provide a long-term nutrient release. This property ensures that the soil is continuously supplied with nutrients over a longer period of time, resulting in uniform plant growth and reducing the risk of over-fertilization.

Conclusion

Horn, bone and blood meal are valuable organic fertilizers that offer many benefits together. They naturally supply the soil with essential nutrients, improve soil structure, promote microbial life and support sustainable gardening practices. Through their versatile application and long-lasting nutrient release, they contribute to a healthy soil ecosystem and create optimal conditions for plant growth.

Love Living Soil uses the combined benefits of these natural fertilizers to give your plants a crucial nutritional boost. Your living soil will thank you with strong, healthy plants and a bountiful harvest.
