I never knew what blood meal was until I got into gardening.
Now I know it’s not the stuff of gory movies. It’s a valuable horticultural
supply.
Dried
blood meal can deter deer from eating flowers, vegetables, and other valuable
plantings in the garden.

Instead, I scoop the blood meal intro clean cheap paper coffee
filters. Then I gather up the top of each one and close it with a twist
tie. I use a second twist tie to attach the little sack of blood meal to a
plant or stake in the garden.
Bye-bye deer. You’re pretty from a distance, but my garden
is not your private salad bar.
