Which is better, bonemeal or 10-52-10?
When it comes right down to it, they both do the same thing which is they both build a root system. The bonemeal however is easier to use when planting shrubs and trees because it is in a granular form and there is no water needed as you are working. However, the 10-52-10 is much easier when planting a flower or vegetable bed because you can go over the entire bed much easier after it is planted. It is much easier than putting a little bit of bonemeal in each hole you dig for a plant. When you use bonemeal, make sure it is mixed into the soil right next to the roots. When applying 10-52-10, be sure to water in well so that all the roots are watered in well.
