Is bone meal as a fertiliser any good? How and when do you apply this to a potted tree that is young and in training?
Thanks :)

I normally give my trees blood/bone/nail meal at some point in spring. But oonly when temperatures during night reach about 10 degrees. Then microbial life in the pots will be active. I just sprinkle some on top of the substrate. Do not really think about how much.

I take a handfull and sprinkle it on the substrate. People overthink caretaking too much, in my opinion
