Bonemeal is a slow release fertiliser produced from sterilised bonemeal. It contains two elements essential for healthy plant growth - phosphate and nitrogen.
It is the slow release of nutrients over an extended period of time which makes Bonemeal an ideal fertiliser for a wide variety of crops and plants.
Bonemeal:
Encourages healthy root development
Ideal for bulbs, herbaceous plants, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and strawberries
Organic
The versatility of Bonemeal means it can be used prior to sowing or planting out, used as a top dressing for established roses and border plants in spring, and around fruit trees and bushes in autumn.
Although organic, the product may irritate cut or broken skin so always apply with gloves. Wash hands after use.
Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children and pets. If used in an area close to livestock such as cattle, deer, sheep and goats ensure the treated area is secure to prevent access.
How to use:
Apply from February until the end of the growing season in October. Evenly apply to soil at the rates recommended below, preferably when the soil is moist. Lightly hoe into the top surface of the soil, and in dry conditions water in.

Plant Gains Granular Plant Food is a premium, balanced fertiliser developed for plants grown in garden beds, borders and raised planters. Designed to support steady growth, healthy foliage and long-lasting flowering, it provides reliable nutrition throughout the growing season. This carefully blended granular feed delivers essential nutrients in a form that is easy for plants to absorb, promoting strong root development and improved overall vigour. The balanced formulation supports flowering plants, shrubs and vegetables, helping them maintain colour, structure and productivity. Ideal for regular use, Plant Gains Granular Plant Food can be applied every four to six weeks during the growing season. Simply sprinkle evenly around plants and lightly water in to activate the feed. Over time, plants become stronger, more resilient and better equipped to cope with weather stress and variable soil conditions. The formula includes essential trace elements that support healthy development and reduce the risk of common nutrient deficiencies. It is suitable for a wide range of garden plants and works well alongside organic matter and soil conditioners. For gardeners who want a straightforward, effective way to keep borders and beds performing at their best, Plant Gains Granular Plant Food delivers dependable, visible results without complexity. DOSAGE RATES: 3-5g/litre of compost, so 30-50g in 10 litres of a peat-based compost.You can increase the dosage rate by 1g/litre if mixing more than 10L of peat-based compost.For use on borders, spread at a rate of 35g/m2.
Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food is a next-generation liquid feed developed specifically for plants grown in peat-free compost. Unlike traditional plant foods designed for peat-based growing media, this formula recognises that peat-free compost behaves differently when it comes to nutrient availability, water retention and plant uptake. Many peat-free composts naturally contain elevated levels of potassium, which can lead to nutrient imbalance, yellowing leaves and poor growth when standard feeds are used. Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food avoids this problem with a zero-potassium formulation, delivering balanced nutrition without overloading plants. Added magnesium and carefully selected trace elements support chlorophyll production, stronger growth and improved plant resilience. This liquid feed is ideal for use on flowering plants, vegetables, shrubs and container plants. It helps correct common deficiencies while supporting steady, stress-free growth. Plants fed with Plant Gains develop healthier foliage, stronger root systems and improved flowering performance.Easy to use and fast acting, the feed can be applied weekly for general feeding or with every watering for hungry plants such as tomatoes. It works in harmony with peat-free compost, helping plants perform at their best without forcing growth or causing nutrient lock-up. For gardeners transitioning to peat-free composts, Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food removes uncertainty and delivers reliable, visible results you can trust. DOSAGE RATES: Mix 2ml/litre of water, so for a 5L watering can that would be 10ml and for a 10L watering can, 20ml.Whilst the plants are growing actively, feed every 7-14 days.
Plant Gains 6-Month Feed is a long-lasting, slow-release plant fertiliser designed exclusively for use with peat-free compost. It provides balanced nutrition for up to six months from a single application, supporting healthy plant growth without the need for frequent feeding. Peat-free composts often release nutrients differently to traditional peat-based mixes, making it easy to overfeed or unbalance plants. Plant Gains 6-Month Feed is carefully formulated to address these challenges, delivering steady nutrition while avoiding excessive potassium levels. Added calcium, magnesium and trace elements help strengthen cell structure, support root development and improve overall plant health. This granular feed is ideal for use at planting time in pots, containers, raised beds and borders. Simply mix into the compost according to the label instructions and water in. Nutrients are released gradually as plants need them, reducing stress and preventing sudden growth surges. The result is stronger, healthier plants with improved foliage colour, better flowering and increased resilience to environmental stress. Because feeding is consistent, plants are less prone to nutrient deficiencies or scorch. For gardeners looking for a low-effort, high-performance feeding solution tailored to peat-free growing, Plant Gains 6-Month Feed offers simplicity, reliability and outstanding results throughout the season. DOSAGE RATES: Mix into the peat-free compost at a rate of 2-4g/litre of peat-free compost.
