Absolutely excited!

I ordered a 20 lb bag of 0-11-0 Bird guano fertilizer and its arrived! :)

(Yes, I blend it with others!)

If anyone is using blood meal fertilizer I read somewhere that it attracts raccoons! Can anyone confirm this?

Do fish meal and fish emulsion fertilizers do the same? I’m not out in the country it may not be that much of a problem.

Great find! My secret weapon for my fruit trees and raspberries is a 10-18-10 granular ‘new lawn starter’ which isn’t always easy to find, but SO perfect for their needs!

Rabbits and raccoons do NOT like the smell of blood meal. Lots of people use it around emerging spring bulbs to thwart bunny chomping.

I know raccoon will EAT fish (Koi ponds are a favorite - ask my Mom!) but liquid fish emulsion repels ME, so they probably won’t like it, either. They put fish oil and meat meal in ‘Repels All’ spray, which is some pretty smelly stuff.

Ask me how many broken/leaking bottles of the stuff I cleaned up at the garden center. GAG!
