If you are concerned about 'mad cow disease', what about super-phosphate
or triple phosphate?
I haven't used bonemeal since the alarms about 'mad cow disease'.
I do understand that phosphorus does not move down into the soil with
rains as does nitrogen so you have to put it at the roots of the tree in
the beginning.

Are there alternatives to bonemeal?
