Whatâs the weather like in the Lake Chapala area? How does it affect our lives here? At approx. 5,000 ft. above sea level, surrounded by mountains, and with the Lake our area has only a moderate temperature variation from month to month and season to season.
Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:35 am. Has anyone ever tried using blood meal as fertilizer for your roses? Years ago a good friend of mine gave me a few bags and it was amazing how beautiful my roses were. He worked in a meat rendering company in Montreal and this was one of the products they made from bone and fat.
A: Blood meal is made by flash-drying blood that is collected at a slaughterhouse. It is high in nitrogen, with few other nutrients. A typical analysis is 12-0-0. Organic gardeners use it instead of synthetic nitrogen (34-0-0). Bone meal is made from slaughterhouse bones which have been cooked and ground into a powder. It is high in phosphorus but contains little else. A typical analysis is 1-11-0. Both are used by folks who want organic sources of plant food.
