Fish bone meal has much higher content of trace minerals & nutrients than earth-bound “mammal” bone meal. It may be a bit smelly for up to a week, but your plants will thank you. Ocean-based animals have access to all soluble micronutrients/minerals of the earth. Mixed with alfalfa or DDGs (Dried Distiller Grain) pellets I was able to consistently grow cannabis plants 10-12’ tall. I also threw in some kelp powder to ensure plenty of micro nutrients. (I’d attach a picture, but that doesn’t seem to be an option)
This year I plan to try increasing the solubility/availability by soaking in acetic acid (vinegar) for a couple weeks. (@ 1:10, bone:vinegar)
It creates calcium acetate concentrate that can be strained & watered in (@ 1:100 dilution) or sprayed on as a foliar application.
The strained bits leftover can be thrown in compost or soil.
Not to worry… the acid is used up & dissipated by dissolving the bones over 2 weeks. Raw bones/eggshells take decades or centuries to become fully bioavailble.
