FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Click on each question to see the answer.
How does fish bone meal compare to regular bone meal?
Fish bone meal offers several advantages over traditional bovine bone meal: it breaks down faster (4-6 weeks vs 4-6 months), contains naturally occurring trace minerals from marine sources, has a more complete amino acid profile, and is often preferred by organic gardeners. The 4% nitrogen content also provides more balanced nutrition compared to standard bone meal's typical 1-2% nitrogen.
Will fish bone meal attract animals to my garden?
While fish bone meal has a mild fishy odor when first applied, it dissipates quickly once watered in and worked into the soil. The scent is much less pronounced than fish emulsion. To minimize any attraction to animals, work the meal into the soil immediately after application and water thoroughly. The odor typically disappears within 24-48 hours.
When should I use fish bone meal in my garden?
Fish bone meal is ideal when planting bulbs, transplanting seedlings, establishing perennials, or whenever plants show signs of phosphorus deficiency (purple-tinged leaves, poor flowering, weak roots). It's particularly beneficial during flowering and fruiting stages. Apply in early spring for season-long benefits, or side-dress during the growing season for a phosphorus boost.
Can I use fish bone meal with other fertilizers?
Yes! Fish bone meal pairs excellently with nitrogen-rich fertilizers like blood meal or feather meal for a complete nutrient profile. It also works well with compost and other organic amendments. When using with synthetic fertilizers, reduce application rates to avoid over-fertilization. Always follow soil test recommendations for best results.
