  • This is a variation of what I was taught, this variation is not as potent. Somewhere along the line I'll make it as instructed, I just need to build the funnel pipe.
    Bones are from the deer I harvested last year.

    Excellent ways to make use of every resources available and providing the plants of natural and organic form of potash and phosphorus. I believe I can use the same method with eggshells. Thumbs Up to you, Sir.

      Ah eggshells have way too much calcium nearly only calcium.
      It would harm therefore the soil.
      It would only improve the soil if the soil would be too acidic. Greetings!

      @@erbauungstutztaufgnade1875 that's cool around me the soil very acidic.

    I burn bones in a wood gas stove while I boil a kettle, if you mix the powdered bones with phosphoric acid you get tripple superphosphate very water soluble.
    I forgot to add you can also get phosphate solubilizing bacteria to brake down the bone ash.

    Very nice, and since my brother is an avid hunter and gardener, we will be doing this together. That is, after I twist his arm. LOL Fantastic! Thank you. Sheila

    rick or you could cover those bones in some apple cider vinegar and you would end up with water soluble phosphorus with a great catalyst to jump start the microorganisms in your soil at a ratio of 1tbsp per gallon of water

    Hello, have you tested the npk of the bone ash? Would love to have 37% phosphorus from the ashes..but google says the ash is arou d 15%

    cool I wonder what my biochar maker would work with bones

    Thanks for sharing, great info for recycling waste! I've been burning bones in our wood stove for ages, it's a good way to prevent our dogs from stealing them out of the compost heap. First I use it uncrushed in the hen house, they love bathing in the ash. The bones that are left after the chickens have flapped away the fluff I then grind and add to my compost, but I have been applying much less in fear of making the soil too high in ph. Our soil is a "normal" black mix on the heavy side because of clay, ph neutral. So a rough estimate, how much bone ash would you say goes into a cubic metre of compost, and do you do any other additions/adjustments to the compost before it goes on your plants?

      I never did any calculations as I make 3 yard compost heaps and the bone ash is minuscule. Besides, I make aerobic compost and the type of bacteria that grows neutralizes nearly everything. Here is a playlist of my composting effort: ruclips.net/p/PLDCRYtmkDsX_QlOOIplztpges3GehQ1x6

    Well - you at least have the added benefit of the biochar and potassium of the wood ash in there as well as the calcium and phosphorus from the bones

    Hi Rick, does the bone smell bad when you burn it in the wood burning stove? I have been collecting bone to burn for my compost. Very impressed with what you did thank you.
