What's it used for?  Would you recommend it?

Re: A Question about Bonemeal

I used to use it to put on my dog's food when I didn't use dog food due to allergies and made chicken, liver and hamburg for her.

Re: A Question about Bonemeal

I apply it around my spring bulbs after they've bloomed.  (I also deadhead the daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, etc.)  The bulbs use bonemeal for food.  HTH.

You put bonemeal on your pets food?

Re: A Question about Bonemeal

@SydneyH Several years ago I used bonemeal when planting my bulbs. Fast forward to the next day ~ my dogs couldn't get enough of it and they dug up all of my bulbs. I hear it is good for your bulbs, though, if you don't have dogs. LOL

Re: A Question about Bonemeal

@pattypeep This is exactly why I dislike bonemeal because animals think another animal is there. I prefer a balanced food called Bulb Food which has the N-P-K needed.

Re: A Question about Bonemeal

I stopped using it as well.  The critters love it.  My neighbor had the squirrels up on her step digging up planted bulbs lol.  What a mess!  LM
