Down to Earth Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 | 25lb - OMRI Listed

Marine-Sourced Phosphorus and Calcium Fertilizer, 25lb

Traditional steamed bone meal works, but it's sourced from land animal bone rather than a marine origin, which matters to growers specifically looking for a fish-based input. Down to Earth Fish Bone Meal 4-12-0 delivers the same phosphorus-and-calcium role as steamed bone meal, but from marine sources, suited to flowering plants, trees, shrubs, new garden beds, perennials, and bulbs.

This 25lb bag suits home gardeners and small growers establishing new beds, planting bulbs, or feeding flowering trees and shrubs across a season.
