BONE MEAL 3.25lb

Give your plants the essential foundation they need for a strong start! Bone Meal is a slow-release, natural fertilizer rich in Phosphorus (P), the key nutrient that promotes strong root development, robust growth, and abundant blooms and fruiting. It also supplies Calcium (Ca) for structural health.

• Best For:
  • Planting: Mixing into the soil when planting bulbs, shrubs, trees, roses, and transplants.
  • Root Development: Establishing new lawns or young plants.
  • Flowering: Feeding perennial flowers and bulbs to encourage heavier blooming.
• Key Actionable Steps:
  • How to Apply (Transplanting): Mix 1-2 tablespoons of bone meal into the bottom of the planting hole before setting the plant. The roots will grow into the readily available phosphorus.
  • How to Apply (Established Plants): Apply 1/2 cup per 10 square feet around the drip line of existing plants and work lightly into the soil, then water well.
  • When to Use: Ideal for application in the fall (to support root growth during dormancy) and again in the spring at planting time.
  • Pro Tip: Bone meal requires soil microbes to break it down, so it works best when mixed directly into the soil rather than just spread on top. It is slow-releasing and rarely burns plants.
