Down To Earth’s Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 is a marine-based alternative to traditional bone meal and is a good source of organic calcium and phosphorus for new garden beds, perennials, bulbs, flowering trees, plants and shrubs. Phosphorous is important for both root and bloom development. Strong root development means plants will grow faster and healthier because they can absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. This translates to larger carrots and potatoes, etc. and flowers with bigger blossoms. Contains a small amount of organic nitrogen. OMRI Listed. CDFA Registered Organic Input Material. 5 lbs. bag.
