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.
I think just about everything loves a little bone meal. For my lilies, I mix a tiny bit in the soil below the bulb. For the irises, sprinkle a bit on the surface of the soil before and after blooming. I'm certainly no expert but I think for most plants, folks use blood meal (sparingly) to keep critters away.
