High Quality Bone Meal

Product Description

Bone Meal
Bone meal is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and slaughter-house waste products. It is used as an organic fertilizer for plants and as a nutritional supplement for animals. As a slow-release fertilizer, bone meal is primarily used as a source of phosphorus and protein.

Uses
Dietary supplements
Bone meal, along with a variety of other meals, especially meat meal, is used as a dietary/mineral supplement for livestock. It is used to feed monogastric animals with bone meal from ruminants. 

7 Benefits of Using Bone Meal
1. Great Source of Phosphorus
Bone meal is approximately *5% phosphorus, and it comes in a form thats especially easy for plants to utilize.
This benefits root growth, cell division, seed growth, and prevents your plants from becoming stunted.

2. Contains Calcium
Calcium is an essential component of healthy bones, which means that bone meal contains plenty for the benefit of your plants.
Adding calcium to your garden through bone meal and other forms can give you better tomato, zucchini, and pepper yields by preventing blossom end rot.
This critical mineral also promotes new growth in roots and stems to keep your plants healthy for the full growing season.

3. May Contain Nitrogen
Natural bone meal contains only trace amounts of nitrogen, usually about 0.7 to 4 percent. However, if you buy pre-made bone meal, its likely to have nitrogen added to it.
This gives your plants a nutritional boost from a well-rounded soil amendment.  

4. Balances Out Other Amendments
Most common garden amendments like compost and manure are high in nitrogen but low in other critical nutrients like potassium or phosphorus.
Adding bone meal to the soil balances out these inequalities without you overpowering your soil with any one compound.  

5. Suitable for Organic Growing
Bone meal is an exceptional garden amendment from an organic gardening perspective. Thats because it improves the soil structure by increasing the concentration of beneficial soil microbes.
These microbes, in turn, make soil nutrients more accessible to plant roots, which in turn leads to faster growth, a better root system, and fewer days to maturity.

6. Acts as a Slow Release Fertilizer
Bone meal takes a long time to break down, which means it gives your plants consistent access to phosphorus throughout the growing season.
This means you can apply it once and get it off your mind until you begin next years garden.

7. Boosts Health of Flowering Plants
Plants need phosphorus to flower, which is why gardeners commonly use bone meal for ornamentals like roses and bulbs.
An infusion around the plants base early in the growing season should lead to bigger, more plentiful blooms, and it also helps onions form bulbs.
