Blattwerk FAQ

Why vegan – we chose a 100% vegan fertilizer option for a variety of reasons.
On the one hand, many people follow a vegan life principle, i.e. they want to do without the use of animal products completely or as far as possible. Just to offer these people an alternative to fertilizers with animal additives, the production of vegan fertilizers is justified.
In general, we would also like to point out that a large number of users are looking for alternatives, as the use of animal slaughter waste such as hair meal pellets, fish meal, bone meal and horn from the claws of cattle is common in conventional fertilizers. With Blattwerk Pure, we offer the solution.
Furthermore, we pursue the approach of sustainability. Blattwerk Pure is 100% based on grass, a renewable raw material that itself requires no fertilization, grows easily and uncomplicatedly and can be obtained several times a year. The cultivation of grass also has a positive effect on the fertility of the soil. The grass residues left over from the production of Blattwerk Pure are 100% converted into green energy in biogas plants.
Blattwerk Pure is a full alternative to animal and mineral fertilizers. Made from 100% renewable raw materials, it contains highly concentrated and freely available amino acids as well as minerals, lactic acids and sugars. Together with the plant-available ammonium nitrogen it contains, Blattwerk is ideally suited as a universal fertilizer for houseplants, fruit and vegetables, herbs and lawns.

Without a doubt, Blattwerk Pure can be used in a dosage of 0.5% (5ml Blattwerk and 1 liter of water) for any fruits and vegetables. For this purpose, you can add the Blattwerk fertilizer to the irrigation water at a mentioned dosage of 0.5% on a regular basis, but no more than once a week.

Blattwerk is also suitable for fertilizing lawns. We recommend adding the specified dosage of 0.5% foliar (5ml per 1 liter) to the water. When fertilizing the lawn, please make sure to choose a shady day, avoiding direct sunlight as much as possible. Also, it is recommended to fertilize when the lawn is already somewhat moistened in the morning or after a short downpour. You can determine the interval according to your needs, but please only once a week as a maximum.

The contents in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are as follows: Nitrogen organic (N): 1.33%, total nitrogen (N): 1.33%, phosphorus (P2O5): 0.69%, potassium (K2O): 5.30%. In addition, Blattwerk Pure contains 4.00% free and 100% plant-based amino acids.

Hydroponics can also be fertilized with Blattwerk. In the case of hydroponics, however, Blattwerk should not be added to the irrigation water, but should be sprayed onto the leaves in the recommended concentration. Organic fertilizers can cause bacteria to build up in the water used to water hydroponics.

We recommend treating the sheets with a damp cloth beforehand to remove dust and impurities. Then regularly spray the leaves with a sprayer at the usual concentration of 0.5%.

Theoretically, there is nothing to prevent the use of Blattwerk Pure as an organic fertilizer and the Celaflor sticks with mineral salts including biocide. However, the nutrient content of Celaflor fertilizer sticks is so high that by administration, the nutrient needs of the plants for the application period are already covered. Adding Blattwerk Pure would result in an excess of nutrients and the plant would die or certainly get sick from too many nutrients.

Currently, Blattwerk Pure is only available as a liquid fertilizer. We are currently working on a solid fertilizer with similar properties. We hope to launch this on the market shortly.

The fertilizer has a slightly sweet smell – we would like to recite a customer review from Amazon here: “… in any case, it smells pleasant, like sushi with soy sauce.” In general, we can tell you that the current feedback regarding the smell, as well as the effect, is exclusively positive. We would be delighted if you would get to experience the product yourself and we are sure that you will be satisfied as well.
