Organic Bone Meal Fertilizer – 100% Natural Steamed, Finely Ground Animal Bones, Phosphorus & Calcium Feed for Roots, Bulbs, Flowers & Fruit Plants (ہڈیوں کی کھاد)

What Is Bone Meal Fertilizer? (ہڈیوں کی کھاد کیا ہے؟)

Meaning of Bone Meal Fertilizer in Urdu is “ہڈیوں کی کھاد” بھاپ دے کر باریک پیسی ہوئی جانوروں کی ہڈیوں سے بنی قدرتی کھاد. Steaming is the standard way to strip fat from bones before grinding, and the resulting meal is prized as a slow-release source of phosphorus and calcium. Ours Bonemeal is made in Pakistan from steamed, finely ground animal bones, and it is dry and 100% natural.

It comes as an almost-fine powder, with a gravel-shaped (kankar) form available on demand. Finer grinding releases nutrients sooner, while larger pieces break down more slowly.

Why Does Your Garden Need It?

Many garden soils in Pakistan are low in available phosphorus, and most are alkaline and calcareous, which locks phosphorus up. Plants short of phosphorus tend to grow slowly, with weak stems and purple-tinged leaves. A slow, steady supply of phosphorus and calcium at planting time helps bulbs, roses, vegetables and fruit trees build roots before they flower. It works best where the soil is neutral to acidic, in potting mixes, and in compost-rich beds, so test your soil first.

What Does It Do for Your Plants?

• Typical nutrient content. The USDA’s agricultural thesaurus describes steamed bone meal as containing about 1.5–2.5% nitrogen, 12–15% phosphorus and 20–34% calcium (USDA NAL thesaurus). Product labels often show about 3-15-0. Treat these as general averages, not a lab test of each batch.
• Gives phosphorus for strong roots and blooms. Phosphorus supports root development, flowering and fruit set.
• Adds calcium alongside the phosphorus.
• Feeds slowly. Nutrients are released over months rather than all at once, so it suits planting time and the start of a season.
• Supplies only a little nitrogen and no potassium. Pair it with compost or vermicompost for a fuller feed.

Results depend on your soil, your plants and your watering.

Where Should You Use It and How Much?

These amounts are cautious starting points, scaled down from label and extension rates. Adjust them to your soil and plants, and do not repeat more than once or twice a year.

The almost-fine powder is the faster choice. The gravel-shaped form breaks down more slowly and suits long-term feeding.

How Is It Different from Other Soil Feeds?

Figures are typical values quoted by different sources, and phosphorus and potassium may be given as elements or as oxides, so compare them only roughly.

How Does It Work?

Bone is mostly a calcium phosphate mineral called hydroxyapatite. According to Wikipedia, ground bone is used as a slow-release organic fertiliser that supplies phosphorus, calcium and a small amount of nitrogen. The mineral dissolves gradually as soil acids and microbes act on it, which is why the feed is slow. It also dissolves more readily in acidic to neutral soil than in alkaline soil, where the phosphorus can stay locked up. Finer grinding exposes more surface, so powder releases sooner than gravel-sized pieces.

How Do You Use It?

Before You Start

If you can, test your soil pH and phosphorus. Skip bone meal if phosphorus is already high, because too much can interfere with other nutrients such as zinc and iron. If your garden soil is alkaline, use it in potting mixes and compost-rich beds instead.

Step by Step

Planting Holes (Bulbs, Shrubs and Trees)

1. Dig the hole to the usual depth.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon (bulbs) or 2–3 tablespoons (shrubs and trees) into the lower part of the hole.
3. Cover with a layer of plain soil so roots and bulbs do not sit directly on the meal.
4. Plant and water well.

Garden Beds

1. Spread 100–150 g per square metre over the bed.
2. Mix it into the top 10–15 cm of soil.
3. Water well and plant or sow.
4. Do not repeat more than once or twice a year.

Pots and Potting Mix

1. Measure about 1 tablespoon per large pot of 8–10 kg mix.
2. Blend it evenly through the mix before filling the pot.
3. Water well, and add nitrogen from compost or vermicompost if the plant needs leafy growth.

Safety and Storage

Wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards. It is a fertiliser and not for eating. Dogs and other animals are attracted to bone meal, so cover it with soil, keep pets away from freshly treated beds and keep it out of reach of children. Store it dry, tightly closed and away from damp.
