Using Down to Earth Bone Meal for Bare Root Plants
When planting bare root plants, we recommend incorporating Down to Earth Bone Meal into the soil to support strong root establishment and healthy early growth. Bone meal is an organic, phosphorus-rich fertilizer that is especially beneficial during planting, helping bare root plants develop robust root systems and improve overall vigor.
Preparation:
Before planting your bare root plant, mix Down to Earth Bone Meal into the soil. For each bare root plant, use approximately 1–2 tablespoons for small to medium-sized plants, or 3–4 tablespoons for larger plants, trees, or shrubs. Adjust the amount based on the size of the planting hole.
Mixing the Fertilizer:
Incorporate the bone meal evenly into the soil at the bottom of the planting hole. Phosphorus is most effective when placed near developing roots, ensuring efficient nutrient uptake as the plant establishes.
Planting:
Place the bare root plant into the hole, gently spreading the roots outward. Backfill with the amended soil, making sure the bone meal is well distributed throughout the root zone.
Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and begin the slow release of nutrients. Consistent moisture supports nutrient availability and healthy root development.
Organic and Phosphorus-Rich:
Down to Earth Bone Meal is made from finely ground, steamed animal bones and provides a high level of phosphorus (P), an essential nutrient for root growth, flower formation, and overall plant strength.
Slow-Release Nutrients:
This natural, slow-release fertilizer feeds plants gradually, making it ideal for long-term root support without the risk of burning.
Ideal for Root Development and Blooming Plants:
Bone meal is especially beneficial for bare root trees, shrubs, roses, bulbs, and flowering plants that require strong root systems and enhanced bloom production.
By using Down to Earth Bone Meal at planting time, you’ll give your bare root plants the nutrients they need to establish quickly, develop healthy roots, and thrive in their new environment.
