Overview

Westland Bone Meal Root Builder 10kg is a naturally sourced plant food formulated to promote strong root development and healthy plant establishment.

Its manufacturer-declared NPK 3-9-0 analysis provides a high proportion of phosphorus alongside nitrogen. This balance makes Bone Meal particularly useful when establishing and maintaining trees, shrubs and hedges, as well as feeding flowers and vegetables.

The organic nutrients are released gradually into the soil, providing approximately 5 weeks of nutrient release. This substantial 10kg bucket is an excellent choice for larger gardens, extensive planting schemes and gardeners who regularly use Bone Meal when planting.

Why We Love It

• Excellent root builder – high phosphorus content supports strong root development.

• NPK 3-9-0 – specifically balanced for rooting and healthy plant growth.

• Slow nutrient release – feeds gradually for approximately 5 weeks.

• Versatile – useful for established plants, new planting, flowers and vegetables.

• Large 10kg size – particularly practical for bigger gardens and substantial planting jobs.

Nutrient Analysis

NPK 3-9-0

Bone Meal has a high phosphorus content with a smaller amount of nitrogen. This nutrient balance is particularly suited to encouraging strong root growth, while supporting healthy plant development and greener foliage.

How to Use

Established Trees & Shrubs

Apply 135g per m² around the base of the plant.

Gently fork the granules into the soil surface without disturbing the roots. Alternatively, distribute them over the soil around the plant and water in thoroughly.

New Trees & Shrubs

Apply 135g per m² to the planting hole and mix thoroughly with the soil or compost used to refill the hole.

Do not leave concentrated fertiliser directly against the roots.

Flowers

Apply 135g per m² to the soil surface and gently fork in, taking care to keep the granules away from leaves and stems.

Water thoroughly after application.

Vegetables

Apply 70g per m² as a top dressing and work thoroughly into the soil.

Measuring

One handful of Westland Bone Meal is approximately 35g.

For continued soil fertility, applications can be repeated every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

When to Use

Apply from February through to the end of October.

For best results, work the granules into the soil. During dry weather, water the ground before and after applying the feed.

• Trees and shrubs
