Ca/Phos have to be balanced (some people just decide not to worry about it but it is supposedly very important). It is typically a 1.2:1 ratio and all the way up to a 2:1 ratio is acceptable.

Solid Gold does have one that is balanced but bone meal has had contamination problems in the past, so I think I'd want to use one that is fit for human consumption. KAL bone meal qualifies but I don't think there is any phos in it. Maybe Solid Gold can guarantee that theirs isn't contaminated...I don't know.

Here is the dictionary.com link for the phosphorus definition:
