Pig bones as fertilizer

Pig bones can be used as fertilizer for flowers. The leftover pig bones can be processed into bone meal. After the bone meal is decomposed, it is mixed with half sandy garden soil to become a nutritionally complete base fertilizer that can provide basic nutrients for plants and flowers and enable them to grow better.

Pig bones can be burned into ashes and used as flower fertilizer. The fertilizer contains elements such as calcium, phosphorus, oxygen, and carbon. It can not only irrigate the plants well, but also save some phosphorus fertilizer. This fertilizer is indispensable for the growth of plants and flowers such as pennywort, mimosa, Clivia, and cherry.

How to make fertilizer from pig bones

1. Buried fermentation:

Bury the leftover pig bones in the soil in the flowerpot. It will take about one or two years for the bones to weather in the soil and become very light. When they become absorbent, they will be very beneficial to the growth of flowers. At this time, you can put them at the bottom of the pot or on the edge of the pot as fertilizer.

2. Soak:

The method of soaking bones in water to make flower fertilizer is to find a sealed jar, put the leftover pig bones in the water, and let the pig bones ferment in the water. It takes one or two years. When the pig bones become rotten, it proves that the fermentation is complete.

Key points for using pig bone fertilizer

1. Meat bones cannot be put directly into flower pots as fertilizer. First, it is easy to attract ants and other reptiles, and it is also easy to be infected with white nematodes, which will cause the leaves to become scorched yellow. The soil in the pot needs to be changed and replanted.

2. If you place the whole bone directly at the bottom of the plant and use it in a season with higher temperatures or in an environment with a lot of soil bacteria, it will easily rot and breed other pests, which will affect the environment and soil quality.
