Description
Purpose: Bone meal is a type of organic fertilizer that is made from ground animal bones. Its purpose is to provide plants with a slow-release source of nutrients, particularly phosphorus, as well as calcium and other micronutrients.
Application: Bone meal is typically used as a soil amendment before planting, mixed into the soil or applied as a top dressing around established plants. It can also be used to fertilize bulbs or as a phosphorus supplement for flowering plants.
Compatibility: Bone meal is compatible with most types of soils and plants, but it should not be used in soils that are already high in phosphorus or where the pH is above 7.5.
Suitability: Bone meal is suitable for use in organic gardening and farming, and is often used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. It is particularly useful for promoting root growth and helping plants to resist diseases and pests. However, it should be used with caution around young seedlings or plants that are sensitive to high levels of phosphorus.
