Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / April 2008

I used Blood Meal, because we were very low on nitrogen in our veggie
garden.  I used it according to instruction - worked it in the soil
and then watered.  My question is do I have to work it in the soil for
the nitrogen to get in the soil.  I ask this because we have chicken
wire laid down, because we have cats, and the crops grow thru the
wire.  I don't believe I'll be able to work anything into the soil
once the plants grow much.  If I just sprinkle the blood meal on top
and then water well, will I get any benefit?

Thanks!
