Can bones be used as fertilizer?

Bones as fertilizer

Bones can be used as fertilizer, but they cannot be buried directly in the soil. They need to be fermented before use. By adding this bone fertilizer, the plants in the soil can grow more vigorously and the soil will be more fertile.

Bones can be used as flower fertilizer. Put the bones into high-pressure steaming and then compost them for about a month. They will become nutrient-rich base fertilizer. The fertilizer effect can last for up to two years. It can be used as a long-term fertilizer for growing flowers and is suitable for growing perennial flowers.

How to make fertilizer from bones

1. Collection and cleaning

Discarded bones usually contain a certain amount of salt on the surface, but these substances will affect the efficiency of fermentation and need to be washed off first and then crushed in a high-pressure container.

2. Composting and fermentation

Then put the crushed bones in the sun to dry, grind them into bone powder with a grinder, add a certain amount of water, and let them ferment in a sealed container for a month. The product is ready.

Key points for using bone fertilizer

1. Cannot add directly

If bone fertilizer is not processed, it must not be put directly into the soil for use, as this will easily breed pests such as ants and white nematodes, which will affect both plants and human health.

2. Deep burial treatment

Although the composting process of bone fertilizer will not produce a strong odor like other fertilizers, it will still emit a certain sour smell if used in the open air. It is best to bury it deep in the soil.
