NEW with added seaweed*
Westland Bone Meal is a natural, ready to use plant feed that helps to build stronger roots for trees and shrubs, roses, and even root vegetables. The powder format ensures root contact for faster absorption, and our new and improved formulation is enriched with seaweed to deliver even better results.
Bone Meal helps bind nutrients to the soil in a soluble form, making them more available to the plant. Bone Meal also encourages microbial activity that helps convert unavailable nutrients into forms that plants can use. Enriched with natural cytokinins, it encourages strong cell development for faster growth and larger yields.
Ideal for improving soil fertility, incorporating into planting areas, or feeding established plants.
