Gaia Green Bone Meal

Description

Gaia Green Bone Meal

Gaia Green Bone Meal is known for having a high concentration of plant available nitrogen. This essential nutrient is released gradually over the season as the protein decomposes in the soil. In addition, Gaia Green Bone Meal is gentle on soil microbes that encourage humus production and good soil tilth; the key to sustainable productivity. Gaia Green Bone Meal flows freely and evenly and can be applied by spreader or hand.

Bone Meal contains nearly 3% nitrogen, 22% total phosphate, and 30% lime in a compound called phosphate of lime. As such, it is the finest form of phosphate fertilizer and a premium biological stimulant for garden and nursery use. Bone Meal will act as a lime, raising the pH of the soil. We recommend the efficient and economic use of Bone Meal beneath garden rows and transplants to supply the immediate root zones, particularly in acid soil.

ORGANIC: Gaia Green Bone Meal is approved for use in organic agriculture by Ecocert Canada (in compliance with Canada’s Organic Production Systems General Principles & Management Standards and Permitted Substances Lists).
