## Questions & Answers

**Q: To use this product do i just mix it in with my soil?**
A: It only requires a small amount.  I just sprinkle the required amount on top and weave my fingers over the soil.  That's it.  It is said it also serves as a deterrent to rodents and small animals like rabbits. Happy Gardening.

**Q: How much soil will a 50 lb bag fertilize?**
A: y square footage, 2-3 pounds of Down To Earth Blood Meal 12-0-0 will cover 100 square feet, so a 50 lb bag would be appropriate for 1650- 2500 square feet. By volume, 1-2 teaspoons of Blood Meal can be used per gallon of soil, and there are roughly 3000 teaspoons in a 50 lb bag.  This would work out to 1500-3000 gallons of soil, or 7.5 to 15 yards of soil. Here is a link to the product webpage.

**Q: Does it take long to get your nitrogen levels right using this? Like if my N is low can I apply it today and be good to go in a week or 2 for planting**
A: It works great and breaks down fast for your plants to use!
