Bloodmeal is a type of organic fertilizer that is made from the blood of animals, typically cows or pigs. During the process of slaughtering these animals, their blood is collected and dried, and then processed into a fine powder. Bloodmeal is high in nitrogen, which makes it an excellent fertilizer for plants that need a lot of this nutrient, such as vegetables and flowering plants. It is often used in organic gardening as a source of nitrogen and can also help to improve soil structure and fertility. However, it should be used in moderation as excessive use of bloodmeal can lead to nitrogen burn in plants. 

The amount of bloodmeal to use on vegetable garden plants depends on several factors, including the type of plant, the stage of growth, and the condition of the soil. In general, it is recommended to use bloodmeal sparingly, as it is a potent source of nitrogen and can easily burn plants if used in excess.

A general guideline for using bloodmeal on vegetable garden plants is to apply 1/2 to 1 cup per 100 square feet of garden space. It's best to apply bloodmeal to the soil before planting or during the early stages of growth, as it will help to promote healthy root development and encourage strong, vigorous growth.

It's also important to monitor the plants for any signs of nitrogen burn, such as yellowing or browning of the leaves, and adjust the application rate accordingly. If you notice any signs of nitrogen burn, reduce the amount of bloodmeal you are using or water the plants to dilute the nitrogen in the soil.

There are several different ways to apply bloodmeal to vegetable gardens, including:

1. Mixing it into the soil: Bloodmeal can be mixed into the soil before planting or during the growing season. Use a garden fork or tiller to work the bloodmeal into the soil to a depth of 4-6 inches.
2. Top-dressing: Bloodmeal can be sprinkled on top of the soil around the base of plants. This is particularly effective for plants that need a nitrogen boost during the growing season.
3. Composting: Bloodmeal can be added to a compost pile to help speed up the decomposition process and add nitrogen to the compost. Once the compost is ready, it can be added to the vegetable garden to provide a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
4. Liquid fertilizer: Bloodmeal can be mixed with water to create a liquid fertilizer. Use 1-2 tablespoons of bloodmeal per gallon of water and apply the solution directly to the soil around the base of plants.

It's important to follow the recommended application rates when using bloodmeal, as it is a potent source of nitrogen and can easily burn plants if overused. Use some caution when handling bloodmeal, as it can be irritating to the skin and lungs.
