Espoma BM24 Bone Meal 24lbs.

Good size package. Will use in the spring when planting trees.

Used in my garden around my fruit trees

This is a very large bag (24 lbs.) of bone meal. I didn't pay close attention to just how much the bag weighed. I chose it for the trusted brand and the unit price (I'm a frugal shopper). I use it when I'm transplanting my seedlings into the garden or when I see some of my leaves yellowing. Recently, we have been going through our 17-year wave of cicadas, and they are damaging my fruit trees and fruit bushes. They lay their eggs in the soft woody parts and kill entire branches. I've made a first application of this and will follow with a liquid fertilizer to help support my young fruit trees in their recovery. I will update after the trees get some time to absorb the nutrients. This is a picture of my peach tree after I had already pruned off many damaged branches. I hope this product will help it recover and survive.

Obviously, you should test your soil first (if it’s alkaline, your plants won’t be able to use the phosphorus and if your soil is already high in phosphorus, adding more could result in higher phosphorus in runoff that contributes to algae bloom), but this is a great all-around amendment. Low Nitrogen means it is less likely to burn roots, Phosphorus boosts blooms and fruiting, and bone meal is excellent as a source of calcium, which can help you avoid blossom end-rot.

great love it!
