Andrew: Plantskydd is dried cow blood. I believe it was originally produced in Sweden. It comes in several forms: pre-mixed as a liquid to spray on vegetation, a powder that needs to be mixed with water and then sprayed, or dried granules to be shaken onto the soil. It's manufacturer claims it is approved for organic growing and is non-toxic. I have used the spray to successfully deter deer browsing. This is the first year I am trying the granules, which I did include in the soil for the bulbs I planted as well as sprinkled on top. Carol HZ 5b CT, USA In a message dated 12/28/2011 3:32:41 P.M.
