Is it better to mix bone meal with water and water the flowers or bury it in the soil (how to make bone meal to fertilize flowers)

What are the benefits of using bone meal to water flowers?

Bone meal contains a lot of phosphorus and is a good slow-acting phosphorus fertilizer . It is also beneficial to increase the microorganisms in the soil and improve the soil structure, which is very good for bonsai that bloom and bear fruit. Therefore, if we can make some bone meal at ordinary times, we can apply some to the flowers and plants during the vigorous growth and flowering periods.

How to Fertilize Flowers with Bone Meal

The method of using bone meal is very simple. It is better to bury it directly in the soil. Because it is already a powder, we can mix it directly into the soil when repotting the flowers.

Of course, we can also dig a circle of holes around the pot soil along the pot wall, and then bury some bone meal , which can play a supplementary role.

Because the bones are ground into powder, the powder will ferment quickly. As long as it is kept away from the root system, used as base fertilizer, used as fertilizer for potting soil, or directly buried on the surface of the potting soil , it can ferment quickly. In addition, the heat of powder fermentation is dispersed less, and it is not easy to cause root burn. This is how to use it.

How to make bone meal

①Boil the bones in salt water

It is actually very simple to make bone meal. If you cook the bones with salt, you need to put them in a bucket of water and soak them for a few days. During this period, change the water several times to remove the salt from the bones.

②Dry and crush

Then dry it and smash it into small pieces and powder with a hammer or something like that. If you have a crusher, grind it into powder and we can use it directly for flowers.

③ Fermentation

If there is less powder, we can ferment it appropriately. The fermentation method is very simple. We used to break it with a hammer and then put it into a container for fermentation.

Find a large oil drum, put the particles in it, and pour water on it. The water should just cover the bone meal, then pour out the water to make the bone meal moist.

Then just seal it and expose it in the sun . It will usually become completely smelly and discolored after more than a month of exposure, and you can use it directly at this time.

④Deodorization

However, after fermentation, its smell is quite strong. It is best to add more water and ferment it directly in the water. Use this liquid to water the flowers. When watering the flowers, add some orange peels, lemon peels, etc., which can effectively remove the smell and have the same effect.
