The message

should I be adding a dressing of bonemeal to the soil before planting
root veg (carrots, potatoes, beetroot & parsnips) ? If so, whats the
best way to go about it - ie work into the soil, sprinkle into the rows
before planting, wait for young shoots and sprinkle over the area ?


It's a slow release fertiliser so needs to be added to the soil
before planting. For larger plants that have a plating hole-put it in
the hole. For seed drills, rake it in so that the fine dust doesn't blow
away in the wind.

Janet

should it be used in any particular situations - or just as a general
fertiliser when planting most things ? what should it not be used with ??
