Ok Been doing a TON of research over the past couple of months and have read about Both BOne Meal and Blood Meal

How much do i add? when to add and can i add to much or to little?

thanks


P.S just for everyones info I'll also be growing tomatoes peppers and lettuce and beans and what such at farther end of garden will all of these additives hurt?

thanks again

as you probably know bone meal helps promote root growth and can have quite a bit of calcium (depending on how it's processed) and lasts several months in the soil and should be applied at about 2lb/100sq.ft. blood meal also applied at the same rate can have around 11% nitrogen again processing can make these #'s vary and can help repel some critters but can burn plants if applied to heavy or close to the plant i would apply as early in spring as possible and it doesn't hurt other veggies
