Our bone meal is a high-quality, organic fertilizer that is made from Bovine bones that have been steam dried and finely ground. It is a slow-release source of phosphorus, which means that it provides a steady stream of nutrients to your plants over time. Steamed bone meal is especially beneficial for plants that require phosphorus and good amounts of nitrogen, such as flowering plants and vegetables.
Our Steamed Bone Meal is of Bovine origin to minimise potential human disease vectors that can come from commercial, porcine derived “Blood and Bone”. Commerical garden grade Blood and Bone is very different from what we sell in our raw Bone Meal (or Blood Meal) amendments, what you find at your local garden centre is often of low quality, full of contaminants and cutting ingredients, unlike our pure - uncut ingredients.
Here's how steamed bone meal can help your garden:
-
Promotes root growth: Phosphorus is essential for root growth, and steamed bone meal can help to promote the development of healthy roots. This can lead to stronger, healthier plants with more abundant yields.
-
Enhances flowering: Phosphorus is also essential for flowering, and steamed bone meal can help to promote the development of flowers. This can lead to more abundant and colorful blooms.
-
Improves soil health: Steamed bone meal can help to improve soil health by increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil. This can help to improve drainage, aeration, and water retention, which can all benefit plant growth.
How to use steamed bone meal:
Steamed bone meal can be applied to the soil at planting time, or it can be side-dressed throughout the growing season.
The application rate of steamed bone meal will vary depending on the soil type and the desired results. However, a general rule of thumb is to apply 1/2 to 2 tablespoons per 5 liters of soil.
