• Wear gloves when handling to avoid skin irritation from bone meal dust
• Use a dust mask when measuring or mixing large quantities to avoid inhaling fine particles
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling

• Store in a cool, dry place in the original sealed bag or an airtight container
• Keep out of direct sunlight and away from moisture to prevent clumping
• Keep away from children and pets — bone meal and fish bone meal attract dogs
• Store bags off the ground on shelves or pallets to prevent moisture absorption

• Work fertilizer into the soil rather than leaving it on the surface to reduce attraction to pets and wildlife
• Water thoroughly after application to begin the breakdown process
• Avoid direct contact with plant stems and crown — apply around the drip line
• Do not apply to frozen or waterlogged soil

• Eye contact: Flush with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists
• Skin contact: Wash affected area with soap and water
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) or seek medical attention
• Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms persist

No. Unlike synthetic "blue powder" fertilizers that can chemically burn roots, this is a slow-release organic formula. Nutrients become available gradually as soil microbes break down the organic matter over 4–6 weeks. It's safe for even delicate transplants when used as directed.

Absolutely! This formula is excellent for flowering vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, and cucumbers—any crop that needs blooms to produce fruit. The high calcium content from bone meal also helps prevent blossom end rot.

For leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale), you may want a higher-nitrogen fertilizer like Blood Meal 13-0-0 instead.

Yellowing leaves (chlorosis) often indicate nitrogen deficiency, iron deficiency, or pH imbalance. This fertilizer addresses all three:

• Nitrogen from feather meal and alfalfa meal corrects pale, yellow-green foliage
• Iron and trace minerals from Azomite address interveinal chlorosis
• Natural acidity helps maintain the 6.0–6.5 pH roses prefer

If yellowing persists, test your soil pH. Roses struggle in alkaline conditions above 7.0.

When used as directed and watered into the soil, this fertilizer poses minimal risk to pets. However, bone meal and fish bone meal can be attractive to dogs. We recommend:

• Working the fertilizer into the soil rather than leaving it on the surface
• Watering thoroughly after application
• Keeping pets away from treated areas until fertilizer is absorbed
• Storing bags in a secure location

Roses thrive in slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0–6.5. This is the range where nutrients are most available for uptake. Our organic formula naturally creates mild acidity as it breaks down, helping maintain optimal pH without additives.

If your soil is highly alkaline (above 7.0), consider adding sulfur or additional organic matter to lower the pH. Regular soil testing will help you track and adjust over time.

Every application of this organic blend adds organic matter to your soil, which improves water retention, aeration, and nutrient-holding capacity over time. The meals feed beneficial soil microbes that create humus—the dark, crumbly material that makes garden soil rich and productive. For a detailed explanation of how soil microbes transform organic fertilizers into plant-available nutrients, see our article on How Do Soil Microbes Affect Plant Health?

Apply every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season. For most climates, that means 3–4 applications per year: early spring (when new growth appears), late spring (after first bloom), mid-summer (optional for repeat bloomers), and late summer (final feeding to build roots for winter). Stop feeding 6–8 weeks before your first expected frost to avoid encouraging tender new growth that could be damaged by cold.
