Bonemeal is a natural, slow-acting fertilizer made from sterilized animal bone. Rich in phosphorus and calcium, it supports strong root systems, flowering, and fruit development. Especially effective for new plantings, it provides a steady nutrient supply throughout the growing season. Bonemeal is free of harmful organisms, easy to apply, and safe for organic gardening—though not recommended in areas with dogs, as they may dig it up.
It is particularly beneficial for:
- Roses, shrubs, and trees
- Bulbs and flowering plants
- Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants (helps prevent blossom-end rot)
