Crushed Bone Meal for Gardening, Fertilizer

 Crushed bone meal is a natural, slow-release organic fertilizer made from finely ground animal bones, rich in phosphorus (for roots/flowers) and calcium (for cell strength). It's used in gardening to promote strong roots, flowering, and fruiting, especially for bulbs and roses, and can also be used as a protein/mineral supplement in animal feed. It's an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers, nourishing plants gradually without risk of "burning" them..

Key Uses & Benefits

For Plants: Promotes root development, flowering, and fruiting, enhancing overall plant health and yield.

For Animals: Used in feed for protein, calcium, and phosphorus, supporting growth and immunity.

Slow-Release: Nutrients are released gradually over time, providing long-term feeding.

Organic: A natural alternative to chemical fertilizers, supporting healthy soil.

Composition

Primarily phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca).

Contains trace minerals and some nitrogen (N).

How to Use (for Plants)

Application: Apply around the base of plants as a basal application.

Dosage: Varies by plant size, from grams to a kilogram.
