Bone Phos 4:10:0 (14) is Talborne’s specialist fertiliser for establishing strong root systems and building long-term soil fertility. It’s the perfect match for gardeners planting trees, shrubs, root vegetables like carrots and beets, or laying down new lawns. With its organic composition and focus on root nutrition, Bone Phos is essential when preparing soil for perennials or for giving young plants the best possible start.

This natural fertiliser has a unique nutrient ratio of 4 parts nitrogen and a robust 10 parts phosphorus, with no added potassium. The high phosphorus content is key to stimulating deep, healthy root development and improving nutrient uptake in the early stages of plant growth. The added nitrogen encourages beneficial soil microbes to flourish, improving soil structure and fertility. Bone Phos is made from finely ground sterilised bonemeal and other organic matter, delivering calcium and phosphate in a slow-release, plant-available form.

Apply Bone Phos directly into planting holes when setting out trees and shrubs, or blend it into seedbeds for root vegetables. For new lawns, mix it into the topsoil before sowing seed or laying sod. It won’t burn sensitive roots, so it’s safe to use generously in the root zone. For ongoing use, apply during replanting or soil preparation phases. Always water in well after application to activate the nutrients.

Bone Phos is completely organic, odour-low, and safe for food gardens, making it ideal for sustainable and eco-conscious growing. It enhances soil health over time, giving you stronger, more resilient plants. Store it in a dry place and use gloves when handling, especially when applying near edible crops. Whether you're planting orchard trees or cultivating nutrient-rich carrots, Bone Phos gives your plants the underground boost they need.
