Being one of the leading manufacturers, traders and suppliers we are putting forward the Bone Meal powder and granules for our customers. Bone meal is generally used to increase the amount of phosphorus in the soil. When considering adding nutrients with garden fertilizers, gardeners must look at the NPK number that is listed on the bag. NPK stands for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and the numbers tell you the amounts of each nutrient by ratio. Each of these nutrients helps plants in different ways. Bone meal has an average NPK of 3-15-0, which makes it a rich source of phosphorus for plants. Bone meal should be worked with care into the soil with a shovel or trowel at a rate of 10 pounds per every 100 square feet. For potted plants, mix one cup or less with a gallon of pure water and use immediately. The compound will continue to release phosphorus and other nutrients continuously into the garden soil over a period of about 4 months. Bone meal fertilizer are generally safe to use in gardens. They provide nutrients and will not “burn” plant roots like some non-organic fertilizers. Of course, you should work the bone meal fertilizer well into the soil surface and gently water in to help absorption of the nutrients. Bone meal may attract pets and animals to it, so use only the amount needed and store the rest carefully away. You should also only use the amount needed on your farm or garden plants to avoid runoff of phosphorous into nearby waterways, which can increase algae growth.
