BEST tip to grow lots of lush leafy greens – fertilize with blood meal! This is an organic fertilizer high in nitrogen. It breaks down slowly throughout the growing season to provide a consistent supply of nitrogen. Its best to work some into the soil before direct sowing seeds or sprinkle some into the planting hole of transplants. Whenever I use blood meal, I notice the leaves are lush and concentrated in color.
Plus, watch this video to learn how I decide where to plant what in a grow bag.
