  • 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.

    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.

      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!

    • @ddier333
      @ddier333 Před 7 lety +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @MyFirstVegetableGarden
      @MyFirstVegetableGarden  Před 4 lety +1

      That would be enough. The soil life is there. Its just a little slower.

    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.

    • @MyFirstVegetableGarden
      @MyFirstVegetableGarden  Před 8 lety +2

      +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.

      +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.
