I was told to use bone meal to help your bulbs grow and multiply. But what about dogs?

I use granular 5-10-10, replacing 6-12-12, that if available, for unknown reasons, is very expensive in my area. Spring flowering bulbs are fertilized in Sept., but if we have no rainfall that month, which is a common occurance, I wait until Fall rains start. I have been paying about $7-8 for a 40 lb. bag of 5-10-10. Works well for me and other friends that use it.
Good luck!

Jennifer, on your boxes of "bulb booster".....see if it says what is in the box....i.e. what the ingredients are.
I think you will find a mention of phosphate...in many ways the element is contrived.

Phosphurus aids in development of roots and encourages bloom. So any boosting of the bulb at planting time, would suggest it is helping the bulb put down its roots.

Superphosphate does that....it is high in phosphurus.0/20/0......and in other boxes you might read the label to say "triple superphosphate"...0/46/0.
Meaning it has no other use other than giving to the plant increased amounts of phosphurus.....no nitrogen, no potassium. (potash)

Before using any so-called enhancements, do read the label and follow the directions.

I invite you too, to put into your browser window...
"SUPERPHOSPHATE".......and read about this particular amendment and how it can be used for many plants to push bloom. Especially read about how this product can often bring a plant to bloom when it has in the past, refused to do so.

Its a kick-in-the-pants kind of product.
