Terra Firma Pelletised Blood & Bone is a premium organic fertiliser combining traditional blood and bone with carbon-rich, fully composted poultry manure. This unique blend provides essential plant nutrients while introducing beneficial microorganisms to help support healthy, biologically active soil.
Unlike traditional powdered blood and bone, Terra Firma's convenient pelletised formula is easier to spread, produces less dust and helps reduce nutrient loss from wind and water. The pellets gradually break down to release nutrients, making this an excellent all-purpose fertiliser for vegetables, flowers, roses, fruit trees and established garden plants.
