John,
I use bloodmeal on all my crops it is a good source of nitrogen and is slow
release. The only draw back is its price. I believe it also stimulates
the microbes. It is 13%N so the recommendation are base on a 100% source
of nitrogen so divide 13 into 100.Then take that number and multiply that
by there reccomendation. Now if its reccomended in pounds per /1000 sq ft
your set. If its pounds per acre you have more math..............MB
