What is bonemeal npk?

Bonemeal is a type of organic fertilizer that is made from finely ground bones. It has a high nitrogen content which is essential for plant growth and development. In addition to nitrogen, bonemeal also contains phosphorus and potassium, making it a complete fertilizer with an NPK ratio of approximately 3-15-0.

Phosphorus is important for root development, flower and fruit formation, and overall plant health. Potassium helps plants to absorb water and nutrients, and also helps to improve disease resistance. Bonemeal is often used to fertilize bulbs, vegetables, and flowering plants.

Bonemeal slowly releases its nutrients over a period of several months, making it a good choice for plants that require long-term feeding. It can be applied either by sprinkling it around the base of the plant or by mixing it into the soil before planting.

One potential drawback of bonemeal is that it may attract pests such as rodents or raccoons, who are attracted to the scent of the ground bones. To prevent this, gardeners should avoid over-applying bonemeal and should bury it deeper into the soil.
