MFG 2016: Bone Meal an Organic Insoluble Garden Fertilizer: What is It & How do You Use It ?
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- Bone meal is an organic fertilizer used primarily to add phosphorous to your garden. It can have low amounts of nitrogen and it has no potassium. It is also a good source of calcium. It is basically steamed pulverized slaughter house animal bone. It is insoluble and therefore has to be broken down by soil in order to be used by plants.

Thank you Gary once again for a very detailed video. Because of this video, I decided to buy this fertilizer to add to my tomato plants.
Keep up the good work, really appreciate the work.
+Victor Valdez Good luck with your garden.
Did it help your garden?
Great video, the 6 minutes flew by! Strait to the point and incredibly informative. Liked & subbed ;)
I need to see how u start this. It's VERY pretty! 😊
You have a great gardening voice.
Great description. Thx
Love ur videos like these... Super informative. Love the index cards, it really helps me remember what these thing are. Keep up the great videos!
Could you please please please make a video on using, Urea, Triple Super Phosphate and Muriate of Potash as fertilizers? Could you please cover dosage per plant, pros and cons etc. It would be very economical to use if one knows the right way to use it. Please make a video.
you make some excellent points. I like using organic fertilizers because it Everlasting plant and conditions to soil. man-made fertilizers primarily feed just the plant. so over the long term organic may be better for some gardeners keep up the great work you're doing a very good job.
Thanks. I think it really feeds the soil life.
Growing hot peppers, thanks for the help!
I don’t know where I’d be without your videos. I read through comments so I’m glad Leafgro will help bring soil life to my urban oasis in Baltimore. Looks like I can work Bonemeal into soil when I direct sow seeds? Do I need to water it in? I have a planter box and some containers. Thanks so much!
Ive always used this on flower bulbs...big difference usinf this and blood.
Thanks for sharing Gary. Best wishes Bob.
Do you ever do worm or compost teas? If you added bone meal would it be more available to the plant
Good video 👍
I'm going to add this shit to my compost pile. then my weed will grow like crazy!
I used bone meal and first had flies everywhere with a bad odor then had maggots under the dirt eating the bone meal , is this normal and why did it happen ????
Have you come across the use of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria to help plants better absorb phosphorus?
love your videos , very informative !
Thanks for watching.
hi i work in a surgical sterilising unit and mad cows disease does not die at very high steam sterilizing temperatures. Has to be injested by humans to coz illness. Jus incase you wanted to know. Cheers!
Well thats bad. But these temps are really high.

Thank u very much Sir...
Great video bud. Thanks for the info. I have a question? I bought some 20/20/20 fertilizer for my in ground salsa garden. Mostly peppers. I don’t want to salt the soil. Should I toss it in the trash ? Or what other uses for it are there even if it’s not good for peppers?
Gary, what do you mean by soil "life"? Thanks
Microbes. You need bacteria and such to eat and digest the organic fertilizer and turn it into a form of NPK that is water soluble so the plant can absorb it.
Thank you We;ve already had too much rain, grrrr! I"m trying small Early Girl Tomatoes this year & the first ripe one already showed signs of blossom end rot even though I had added pulverized egg shells when first planting them along with some 10-10-10. I've put some oyster shell powder around them this week and am spraying with epsom salts. Do you think that will be enough now to prevent more rot? Thanks!
I've found that a quick way to correct blossom end rot is to crush 1 or 2 antacid tablets into a gallon sprayer and spray on your tomato plant leaves and stems. It is a quick way to boost calcium in your plant. I do this with my tomatoes and peppers. Works every time.
@@ddier333 are you referring to Tums or something like that?
@@poolman8676 Yes, Tums will work great. Each tablet has 200-400 mg of calcium.
I'm going to search to see if you have a video after this, but how would you add soil life to say a new raised bed? (will it just come up through the bottom from the ground below etc)? I've seen where people say "add some of the native soil from your yard" but the soil here is 100% black clay mixed with limestone.
+Sean Upton It will come from the earth beneath. Tossing in compost helps, even the bagged stuff. The earth takes care of it self better then we give it credit.
thank you, great information.
If you are adding compost along with the bone meal into your containers would you say that's enough soil life to break the bone meal down and make it useful for your container peppers and tomatoes? I know I'm asking a lot of questions. Thanks for your time.
That would be enough. The soil life is there. Its just a little slower.

Damn good video! I love how you reiterate the important information. You must be a teacher.
+wonderlucha Thanks. Not a teacher but I work with people and spend time educating them. I try and keep things focused in the vids.
+Gary Pilarchik (My First Vegetable Garden) Well you do a damn good job at explaining the details. Thank you, sir.
Any experience or thoughts on adding this to your vermicompost bins to increase it's plant availability? For years we've added powered egg shells to our bins to add grit for the worms and speed the release of the calcium and other nutrients in the shells.
+Momma Dirt I haven't done that. I certainly doesn't hurt. But you are right in that it prepares the bone meal or eggshells more quickly for making the calcium and phosphorous available.
Bone meal that is 2-14-0 good for growing potatoes in a bucket

What if I burn the bones making bone ash is it ok as phosphorus for plant..¿ thank you
thanks for this very informative video! By the way, can i use this for potted orchids?
For orchids, I don't know. They are something I haven't tried growing.
Can it be mixed with fish fertilizer?
So there is really no point in adding bone meal into my potting soil for this year, since it takes so long for the phosphorus to release. Right?
+Адам Томпсон If you need it in a quick release, yes mostly. But I would add it this year if you are going to be planting in it next year. You are sort of starting the cycle now. This years plant probably need some other phosphorous form.
NOPE, I put some on my string beans, and not a lot either, and it already burnt the hell out of them.
@@meauxjeaux431 give them plenty of water to wash the bone meal out of the roots they come back

How do i know if the soil has life?
you never showed how to use it
Use varies based on container, ground, seedlings, side dressing. But basically scatter it in.

can i use this bonemeal for succulents?
I would use a water soluble fertilizer. Bone meal is a slow release fertilizer that is best helped by soil life. If they are outdoors yes. Otherwise water soluble

I thought you had Viagra plant food in the background for a second.
I put bone meal in my string beans, and not a lot either. Burnt the hell out of them.
Hmmm. That is odd. Good to know.

It's not organic unless the animals have only eaten organic feed.
Turned it off soon as he said plants can't tell the difference
Is fish bone meal superior to regular bone meal? Thanks
Can I mix the bone meal with the soil we’re I going to plant my new roses?
You sure can.
just clean your chicken and pork bones, dry them out and grind them up. No sense shelling out big bucks for something you already have.
True
Frank Burns - yes we’ve all got time for that!
