Is Bone Meal Good For Tomato Plants

Bone meal can help prevent blossom rot by providing the plants with extra phosphorus. This nutrient helps the plant produce strong fruit and resist disease. To use bone meal for blossom rot, mix it into the soil around the base of the plant. You can also add bone meal to the water when you are watering your plants.

How often do you apply bone meal to tomatoes?

Bone meal has a small amount of nitrogen, moderate calcium and moderate to high amounts of phosphorus when used as an organic fertilizer. These are generally released into the soil more slowly than many synthetic fertilizers. One application per season is often enough.
