Bone Meal

Description

Bone meal is a natural, organic fertilizer that provides plants with phosphorus, calcium, and trace minerals. It promotes root development, boosts flowering and fruiting, and improves overall plant health. Bone meal is also a slow-release fertilizer, meaning it gradually releases nutrients over time, providing sustained nourishment for plants.

Here’s a more detailed look at how bone meal benefits plants:

Phosphorus: Essential for root growth, flowering, and fruiting.

Calcium: Strengthens cell walls, improves plant health, and helps prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes.

Trace Minerals: Contributes to overall plant health and disease resistance.

Improved Soil Structure: Bone meal helps improve soil structure, promotes microbial activity, and enhances nutrient retention.

Slow-Release Nutrient Source: Bone meal gradually releases nutrients, providing a steady supply of food for plants over time.

Versatile Application: Bone meal can be used in various gardening applications, including vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, shrubs, and trees.

How to Use Bone Meal:
Timing: Apply bone meal at planting time, when repotting, or as a regular nutrient booster.

Application: Sprinkle 10-30 grams around the plant base and gently mix into the soil.

Frequency: Repeat every 3-4 weeks depending on plant response.

Overuse: Overuse can be harmful, so use the recommended amount.

Moisture: Water the soil thoroughly after application.

Bone meal is a valuable addition to any garden, providing plants with essential nutrients and contributing to a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
