Organic Fish Bone Meal Fertilizer Mix 4-12-0, 1 lb

Down To Earth's All Natural Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 Fertilizer

Down To Earth's Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 is a marine-based alternative to traditional terrestrial bone meal options and is a great source of organic phosphorus and calcium. As one of the three big nutrients for plants, phosphorus plays a role in both root and bloom development, which helps produce high-quality fruit and flowers. Phosphorus also helps plants take to new soil by boosting root development. Strong root development means plants will grow faster and be healthier because they can absorb more water and nutrients from the soil.

This fertilizer is the backbone of most of Down To Earth's fertilizer blends and contains a small amount of organic nitrogen, making it an ideal choice for new garden beds, perennials, and bulbs. You'll have larger carrots and potatoes, and flowers will produce bigger blossoms when using this product.

How to Use:

Bulbs: Add 1 tbsp per hole for average-sized bulbs, more for larger varieties. Mix thoroughly into the soil and water in well.

Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds: To prepare new gardens, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet and thoroughly mix into the top 3" of soil. For new transplants, add 1-2 tbsp per hole, mix into the soil, and water in well. To feed established plants, side dress 2-4 oz once each month during the growing season to promote fruiting and flowering.

Trees & Shrubs: Spread 1 lb per 2" of trunk diameter around the base, outwards to the drip line, mix into the soil surface, and water in well. For new trees, prepare the transplant hole and mix 1-2 cups with the backfill soil. Use the amended soil to fill in around the new tree and water in well.

Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 is a one-pound box of fertilizer listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic production. It is a marine-based alternative to traditional steamed bone meal and is a great source of organic phosphorus and calcium, making it wonderful for all flowering plants, trees, and shrubs.

Why Use Organic Fertilizers?

Organic fertilizers are derived from plant, animal, or mineral resources and combined with organic matter. Natural and organic fertilizers help strengthen soil health, unlike chemical fertilizers, which are known to deplete soil microorganisms and leach into waterways, creating large 'dead zones' where water no longer contains oxygen for marine life.

Organic fertilizers are sold in three forms: dry, water-soluble powder, and liquid. Down To Earth's Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 is a dry, granular fertilizer that is easy to apply and provides a slow, steady release of nutrients for your plants.
