If you have any concerns, use the blood meal to determine whether or not the soil is actually nitrogen-rich. If it does not, contact your local nursery to find out more.

Colored urine tests are good because the test helps confirm a potential bv but not eliminates it in humans. [substeps] For large grassy areas, test your soil at night. For a small area, test your soil in the morning. The test will tell you the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
