Bone meal or ground fish shells: homemade fertilizer rich in phosphorus

How does it work?

How is it prepared?

This fertilizer is obtained by thoroughly crushing and drying fish bones or shells.

Recipe:

• Cleaned chicken, beef, or fish bones, free of any fat, or
• Fish shells (bones, spines, etc.)
• Baking tray or frying pan
• Mortar, grinder, or food processor

Steps:

1. Wash the bones or shells and remove any remaining fat or meat.

2. Dry them in the sun for several days or toast them in the oven at a low temperature (120–150 °C) until they are hard and completely dry.

3. Once dry, crush them with a mortar or food processor until you obtain a fine powder.

4. Store in an airtight container, away from moisture.

How to apply it?

• Mix directly into the potting mix: 1 to 2 tablespoons per medium-sized pot.

• In cultivated soil, apply 30–50 g per plant and mix into the soil around the base.

• Repeat application every 2–3 months, as it is a slow-release fertilizer.

• Ideal for flowering plants, fruiting vegetables, fruit trees, and soils low in phosphorus.

• Avoid overuse to prevent nutrient imbalances in the soil.
