Down to Earth Organic Fish Bone Meal Fertilizer Mix 4-12-0, 1 lb

Down To Earth began in Eugene, Oregon, in 1977 in response to the growing segment of American consumers who were looking for alternatives to plastic and synthetic materials. On the forefront of the burgeoning organic movement of the 1980s, we began making fertilizers out of our storefront shop to provide our customers a natural, economical option for their gardens.

Today, we work out of our own manufacturing plant and have developed partnerships with processors and suppliers to procure the highest quality raw materials for our premium fertilizer products, which are used by home gardeners, commercial growers, nurseries and garden centers who want alternatives to conventional chemical products.

We feature a complete line of natural and organic fertilizers, soil amendments, composts and potting media that work with the microorganisms, fungi and organic matter in the soil to feed plants and stimulate growth. Our natural fertilizers are carefully blended from the best sources of organic nutrients in ideal proportions without the use of synthetics, growth stimulants or low-quality fillers like poultry waste. You can be confident that you are giving your farm or garden the best product available, whether it’s a multi-purpose blend or a specialized soil amendment.

We take pride in offering only the highest quality ingredients that help provide an effective approach to plant care, crop fertilization and soil management.

Help prevent calcium deficiencies that can diminish plant development

Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal is a marine-based alternative to traditional steamed bone meal and is a great source of organic phosphorus and calcium. As one of the three big nutrients for plants, phosphorous plays a role in both root and bloom development, which helps produce high-quality fruit and flowers. Phosphorus helps plants take to new soil by boosting root development.

Strong root development means plants will grow faster and be healthier because they can absorb more water and nutrients from the soil. You will have larger carrots and potatoes, and flowers will produce bigger blossoms. Fish Bone Meal also contains a small amount of organic nitrogen and is an ideal fertilizer for new garden beds, perennials and bulbs.
