Bonemeal Fertiliser is a slow-release, organic phosphorus and calcium-rich feed that supports strong root development and healthy plant establishment. With a typical NPK of 3-15-0, this natural fertiliser is particularly useful when planting new trees, shrubs, bulbs, and perennials, encouraging vigorous root systems that anchor plants and help them thrive long-term.
Bonemeal is ideal for use by home gardeners, landscapers, grounds maintenance teams, and horticultural professionals during planting or transplanting. As it breaks down gently in the soil, it provides long-lasting nutrition, improves soil health, and reduces transplant shock. This makes it a go-to choice for establishing new plantings in both domestic and commercial landscapes.
