Steamed Bone Meal – How to Use It


Question: Steamed bone meal is often advised, especially in the planting of bulbous plants. Can you tell me how I can best use bone meal in my fall planting – the quantity, and on which plants? MD, Tennessee

Answer: Steamed bone meal is an excellent, slow acting, organic fertilizer carrying about 20 per cent phosphorus and two per cent nitrogen. Five pounds per 100 square feet, applied in the early spring, is the average amount used. It is safe to use, and where a quick acting fertilizer is not required, it is to be recommended and should be of benefit to almost any plant, especially those having bulbs, corms, tubers or rhizomes.
