Bone meal takes awhile to break down in the soil. One normally
starts to see results in the growth of the plants in soil or
container mix amended with it about mid-summer, in my
experience. (I used a box of it long ago, not for vegetables
particularly, but just on flowering perennials around the yard
and container plants. These days I use rock phosphate to add
phosphate to garden beds, under bulbs, etc, where the results
are less dramatic than bone meal but it lasts a lot longer in
the soil. One application is good for 5 years at least.)
