Bone meal is a valuable organic fertilizer and soil amendment that provides essential nutrients for plant growth while improving soil fertility and structure. Its slow-release nature and natural origin make it a preferred choice for sustainable gardening practices.
Crushed Bone Meal | 50kg is a natural, slow-release organic fertilizer made from finely ground animal bones (typically cattle or poultry). Packaged in a 50kg bag, it’s ideal for large-scale agriculture, horticulture, or soil enrichment projects. Rich in phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca), it promotes root development, flowering, and fruiting while improving soil structure.
Composition:
Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 15–25% (primary nutrient for roots/flowers).
Calcium (Ca): 20–30% (strengthens cell walls, prevents blossom-end rot).
Trace Minerals: Magnesium, zinc, and collagen-derived nitrogen (3–4%).
Processing:
Steamed & Sterilized: Kills pathogens, enhances nutrient availability.
Finely Crushed: Particles <2mm for quick soil integration.
Certifications:
OMRI Listed: Approved for organic farming (verify regional standards).
Heavy Metal Testing: Compliant with safety limits (e.g., <10ppm cadmium).
Agriculture:
Pre-Planting: Mix 100–200kg/ha into soil for phosphorus-demanding crops (e.g., tomatoes, potatoes, bulbs).
Orchards/Vineyards: Apply 50–100g per tree at the root zone to boost fruiting.
Gardening:
Vegetables/Flowers: 1–2 cups per m² worked into topsoil.
Compost Boost: Accelerates decomposition (mix 1kg per 100kg compost).
Lawn Care:
New Turf: Apply 5kg per 100m² before seeding for root establishment.
Slow-Release: Feeds plants for 4–6 months (reduces leaching).
pH Neutral: Safe for most soils (unlike lime or sulfur).
Microbial Support: Enhances soil microbiome activity.
Handling: Wear gloves/mask to avoid dust inhalation.
Storage: Keep bag sealed in a cool, dry place (prevents moisture absorption).
Pest Note: May attract scavengers; bury or cover after application.
