yep. its great value. its used to boot nutrient levels in the soil. just scatter it over the plot and rake in well about 4 weeks before planting onion sets and such. |

My father told me today that he cant use this in his garden as the local cats and foxes think there are animals buried in the soil and dig everything up trying to find them. Anyone else experienced that? |

I use it whenever I plant new perennials, shrubs or trees as it gives both short term and long term results. I've never had any bother with animals digging it up (so far!) despite there being for too many cats and dogs around here. |

Used it for the first time ever, checked the beds today and loads of cat prints and small holes dug in them. |

Fish, blood and bone is a good general purpose organic fertiliser. I'm not sure what the Aldi/Gardenline brand is like, you'd have to see the NPK ratios.
Generally speaking, FBB tends to be relatively high in Potassium. Therefore it's more appropriate to use for flowering plants and fruiting crops. Rather than, say, brassicas.
For fertilisers, it's horses for courses. |
