Bone Meal - 1.5KG

Westland Bone Meal is a naturally-sourced feed where nutrients are taken up efficiently due to longer periods of release in the soil. It has Nitrogen to support green growth, Calcium to keep your plant both healthy and strong and Phosphorus for your roots to grow bigger and stronger. 

Bone Meal is perfect for maintaining trees and shrubs, but is also great for hedges and even root vegetables. 

• Easy to use
• Ideal for trees and shrubs
• Promotes strong and healthy rooting
• Greener, healthier foliage
• NPK: 3-9-0

Why Use

Bone Meal has a very high phosphorus content plus a smaller amount of nitrogen. This balance is ideal for encouraging strong root growth. The organic nutrients in the fertiliser are gently released into the soil over an extended period of time. 

When To Use

Apply every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season from February until the end of October. For best results, the granules should be worked into the soil. During dry weather, water before and after application.
