Crushed bone meal is a natural, slow-release organic fertilizer made from finely ground animal bones, rich in phosphorus (for roots/flowers) and calcium (for cell strength). It's used in gardening to promote strong roots, flowering, and fruiting, especially for bulbs and roses, and can also be used as a protein/mineral supplement in animal feed. It's an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers, nourishing plants gradually without risk of "burning" them..

Organic: A natural alternative to chemical fertilizers, supporting healthy soil.
Composition
Primarily phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca).
Contains trace minerals and some nitrogen (N).
How to Use (for Plants)
