I hear some gardeners recommending the use of Fish, Blood and Bone Meal when planting out shrubs and trees. Is it any good?

A. In theory this is a balanced plant food offering a good supply of all three nutrients. In practice the nutrients are released over different time scales so the plants don’t receive balanced feeding at any one time.

For example, the nitrogen in blood and fish meal is released almost immediately giving a rush of greening effect that will last only a few weeks. On the other hand the phosphates in steamed sterilised bone meal will have little immediate effect on growth. The phosphates start to be released after a few months, gradually releasing this one nutrient over several years.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
