Product Information

Finally, bone meal’s organic matter naturally encourages the improvement of micro-organisms which can help improve the soil’s fertility and structure.

It’s easy for plants to absorb and take up, and is slow-release to benefit plants for months at a time. I’ve been using fish, blood and bone feed for over 4 years, and it’s become my “base” fertiliser, meaning I use this as a general nutrient improver around most of my plants. I then add extra fertilisers on a plant-by-plant basis if required.Do not exceed the appropriate application rate. Increasing the dosage may result in damage to your plants Apply every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season from February to the end of October. For best results, the granules should be worked into the soil. During dry weather, water well before and after application.

Each batch that is made will be different and will depend on the manufacturers’ specifications, but ballpark figures can be used.Don't use bonemeal with mycorrhizal fungi products as the bonemeal inhibits the action of mycorrhiza The main difference is that fish, blood and bone is organically made out of natural waste products, whilst growmore is made out of inorganic compounds mixed together. That is the main difference, where fish, blood and bones are used for those who want to garden using organic principles, whilst growmore is for those who do not mind using synthetic, man-made products. New compost looks good enough to eat My pet hate is liquid fertilisers that are so strong, they burn the foliage or, worse, get washed away as soon as it rains. Dogs may be attracted to the bonemeal in this product. Avoid use in areas where dogs have access or work the fertiliser into the soil after application and cover with a 5 cm (2”) layer of chipped bark, soil improver or similar material

I have never used fertilizer per se, I put banana skins in the soil before planting but I think it does not really last, that is why I am looking into fertilizer now.This does not equate to an NPK ratio of 7:7:7 but actually converts to NPK of 7:3.8:5.8, so it is not a totally balanced fertiliser that some make it out to be. It contains more nitrogen than the other elements and no trace elements are present, which can be found in fish, blood and bone.
