Black Swallow Bone Meal 4-10-0

Description Bone meal, from a bovine source, has been used in gardens as a phosphorus and calcium source, coming in at around 15% phosphorous and It is sourced from bones that are steamed, dried, and ground down. It can be more readily accessed by the plant roots than a colloidal phosphate [soft rock phosphate], but works best in conjunction with a good mychorizal product. For this reason, it works best in soil that has a ph of 7.0 or below- much over this and the phosphorous in the bonemeal cannot be accessed. Bone meal also provides a source of calcium for your soil. Application As a general rule, use bonemeal at one tablespoon per planting hole, especially at transplanting time. Alternatively, you can apply 1 pound for every 10 sq ft of soil surface. In potting soils and mixes, use at 1/2 cup per cubic foot of mix. This product is approved for organic use. Equivalency Measurement – 4 cups/1kg Bone meal is a natural fertilizer made from steamed, dried, and finely ground bovine bones. It typically contains ~15% phosphorus and a valuable dose of calcium. �� What It Does for Plants Boosts root development thanks to slow‑release phosphorus Supports flowering and fruiting Improves soil calcium levels, strengthening cell walls and reducing issues like blossom‑end rot More plant‑available than colloidal/soft rock phosphate, especially when paired with mycorrhizal fungi Works best in soils with a pH of 7.0 or below — phosphorus becomes harder for plants to access in alkaline soils
