Add some carbon (perhaps wood chips) and mix well with deeper soil.

Here is a link that might be useful: gardening with wood chips

That's what I'll do, just so happens I have 10 yards of wood chips from a local tree service.

Thanks much!

I wouldn't worry too much about a 2x overapplication. If you have some shredded dry leaves, add those in to the soil.

I applied the bone meal correctly, but added too much of the dried blood. I added the amount for 100 sq. ft. but the bed is about 50 sq. ft.

You will not burn the plants ... blood meal is a WEAK fertilizer.

OP, what you'll be creating is essentially a hydroponic medium within the bed with all those wood chips. A good flush will wash out a lot of the excessive nitrogen you feel you may have introduced, in the first place. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that, however, with ten yards of wood chips, a lot of the nitrogen in the future will be diverted into breaking down those chunks of wood, rather than being available to the plants. This will require, in the future, until those wood chips break down, a lot more nitrogen application that may be completely unnecessary, otherwise. So, in essence, you are solving one problem, yet creating a novel one, if simplicity and good production is your goal. M

In a home garden, and even on a farm, philosophically, it can be stated that simplicity is superior in almost every way. In other words, the more variables one introduces into the gardening equation, the more effort you create for yourself in the near future, with no real, measureable net gain. Having to apply greater nitrogen levels will, in addition, create a host of new potential complications, such as disease pressures your garden wouldn't otherwise be exposed to, and greater irrigation needs. Precision becomes more paramount in your gardening protocol, something even a very experienced gardener naturally learns to circumvent through the experience of hard knocks. So, philosophically, it can be said that it is best to minimize those type of learning experiences, as a whole. Best wishes. M

Compost generally has a pretty good amount of NPK in it already, so if you're making a raised bed with essentailly nothing but compost, there is no need to fertilize unless you see some kind of deficiency in your plants. In any case I agree that blood meal should be slow release anyway, so it's unlikely to have the same effect that overfeeding with soluble granular fertlizer would have.
