Par 4 Bone Meal Steamed Granular (2-14-0)

Par 4 Bone Meal Steamed Granular (2-14-0) Organic Phosphorus & Calcium for Roots, Blooms & Soil Resilience Par 4 Steamed Bone Meal 2-14-0 is a natural source of phosphorus and calcium, made by steam-treating and granulating finely ground animal bones. The result is a slow-release, OMRI-listed fertilizer that supports robust root systems, flowering, and fruit development, while gently building long-term soil fertility. Granulated for easy handling and spreading, this amendment is perfect for vegetables, bulbs, fruit trees, and perennial flowers, and can be used in orchards, food forests, and no-till systems where phosphorus is often limited. Key Characteristics High in Phosphorus for Rooting & Blooming With a powerful 14% phosphorus content, bone meal promotes strong root establishment, flower formation, and seed and fruit production-especially useful for heavy feeders like tomatoes, garlic, and fruit trees. How to Use in the Garden, Orchard, and Beds Vegetable gardens: Apply 5-10 lbs per 100 sq ft and work into soil before planting. Bulbs and transplants: Add 1-2 tbsp to each planting hole. Fruit trees and shrubs: Broadcast 1-2 lbs per tree around the dripline in early spring. Perennials and flowers: Topdress around base of plants in early bloom phase. Includes Calcium to Strengthen Cell Walls Contains naturally occurring calcium (~12-15%), which improves plant structure, disease resistance, and helps prevent issues like blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers. Best For These Crops and Systems Garlic, onions, leeks, and other alliums Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, and melons Root crops and flower bulbs Fruit trees, berries, grapes, and vines Native perennials, food forests, and no-dig beds Slow Release and Soil-Building Steam treatment makes phosphorus more available than raw bone meal, but still releases slowly for season-long feeding. Won't leach or burn-ideal for building stable, fungal-rich soil profiles in low-input systems.
