Bone meal magic: Boost your garden's bounty naturally

Achieving beautiful, healthy plants and abundant harvests is every gardener's dream. The key to success is proper plant care during the season and correctly preparing the garden for autumn. With one simple trick, which is the use of bone meal, your garden can flourish and yield twice as much produce in the next season. Find out how bone meal works and why it is worth using.

What is bone meal, and why is it so important for plants? Bone meal is a natural organic fertiliser made from ground animal bones. It is a rich source of phosphorus — an element essential for proper plant development. Phosphorus is responsible for a healthy root system, lush flowering, and abundant fruiting. But that's not all! Bone meal also provides calcium, strengthens plant cell walls, and protects them from diseases. Additionally, it contains iron, magnesium, and nitrogen, which support the growth of the plant’s green parts.

Why is it worth using bone meal?      

• Improves soil quality: Bone meal improves soil structure, increasing its permeability to water and air. This allows plant roots to have easier access to the necessary nutrients.
• Increases yields: Regular use of bone meal leads to larger and healthier yields. Plants better withstand drought and are more resistant to diseases.
• Long-lasting effect: The nutrients in bone meal are released gradually, giving plants continuous access to nourishment throughout the growing season.
• Natural and eco-friendly fertilisation method: Bone meal is an environmentally safe and entirely natural product. It contains no harmful chemicals that could pollute the soil and groundwater.

The best time to apply bone meal is in the autumn. Before winter arrives, it's a good idea to enrich the soil with nutrients to prepare it for the new growing season.

Instructions:    

1. Spread: Evenly spread bone meal over the surface of the soil.
2. Mix: Gently mix the bone meal with the top layer of soil.
3. Water: After applying bone meal, it's recommended that the soil be watered thoroughly to help the nutrients dissolve better.

Dosage:  

• Vegetables: 3-4 handfuls per 1 square metre
• Fruit plants: 5-6 handfuls per 1 square metre

Remember: Bone meal works slower than synthetic fertilisers, so you will notice the effects of its use only after a few weeks.

Bone meal is a simple and effective way to improve soil quality and increase yields in your garden. It is a natural, eco-friendly, and safe fertiliser that should be in every gardener's arsenal. Thanks to bone meal, your plants will grow healthily and abundantly, and you will enjoy a beautiful and bountiful garden.
