In this video, I show how to make bone meal. Making homemade bone meal at home is a free Fertilizer. Using all the chicken bones and ribs is great for growing stronger plants. There is a 5 step process when making your own Fertilizer. First you have to collect bones, next boiling bones, step 3 dehydrate bones, then crush bones and lastly store bone meal. This diy fertilizer will keep your plants very happy.

Awesome! I make my own stock for soups...etc and would have never thought to keep the bones for bone meal. OMG...what a great way to repurpose. Thanks Mr. Brown

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Gardening today, thanks. Since you make your own stock, you are halfway there. After the bones have boiled, just dehydrate and start crushing. You know, I never really thought about what bone meal actually was. Crushed up bones and all the bone meal I threw away, just to buy it. You are absolutely right about a great way to repurpose it. Are you thinking about trying it?

[@gardening_today]

@GrowSomethingTasty Yes, sir I sure will be giving this a try. Thanksgiving is coming up. I'm going to be the one crazy family member saving bones...lol

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

@gardeningtoday2683 Ha ha, I will be, too. Those turkey bones will make a lot more meal than a chicken bone.

I love your excitement

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY JJamiah!!! Thanks!!! This stuff is fun.

[@JJamiah]

It was 1.5 hits in my pressure cooker for chicken and 3 for beef bones

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

That's great. Sometimes, I overdo it to make sure the bones are ready.

[@horsefamily32]

This is so smart! Tysm for your videos

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @horsefamily, I'm glad you like the idea. No problem, I like making the videos. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate the support.

[@kels3972]

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO KELS, I was thinking my friend Kels had of enough of my channel. I'm glad to hear from you. You had an extended vacation. Wow, that sounds awesome. Did you have to fly? I can't do planes. I glad you got to see the bone meal video. Let me know if I could have done anything better.

[@01Lenda]

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Aggie!!! Thanks for the support, brother. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@dnawormcastings]

I’m going to try that tomorrow I already make my own oyster power similar way I feed it to my worms as part of there diet and also for my plants

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Dnawormcastings, cool. Let me know how it turns out for you. The oyster power, I bet, makes some great fertilizer. Especially after the worms break down. Do you have a lot of worms, and how do you keep them from dying in the Bins during the hot summer?

[@kimberelyyoder6531]

I do the same with egg shells and have my calcium for my tomatoes ready to go!

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Kimberely!!!! We think alike. I also do this with my egg shells. Do you believe it takes the egg shell powder 10 years to break down before you get any calcium?

[@JJamiah]

@@GrowSomethingTastyeggshells or powder? I didn’t think the powder took as long as the shells in whole

[@nikkitobin8356]

Great video... I make my own potash and nitrogen ... I never have to buy that stuff agan

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Nikkitobin, that is great. How do you make potash. I know about making nitrogen. Yeah, that feels so good not having to buy those fertilizers. Thanks, I'm glad you like the video.

[@NewJerseyPS]

I freeze my bones no mold

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, New Jersey!!! You are right!!! Thanks for the tip!!!

[@missdevemissdeve8266]

You know what you can do is get a gallon jug put some banana peels in it with egg shells , and 2 tablespoon of cinnamon. Put water in it shake up and let sit for 1 week

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Thanks, I will try it. I have soaked my banana peels, but I did not add the egg shells

[@PuFF1kPuF]

good meal is made of great bone meal

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO @PuFF1kPuF, You are right. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@johnhopkins2014]

I love the cocoa!! Can you mix the bone with baking soda ?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY John, I have no idea on that one. I never thought about it. What do you think would happen with the baking soda?

[@missdevemissdeve8266]

Mix with cinnamon it help keep ants away and help plants grow.

[@JenniferA886]

+1 sub… can I please ask a question? I have loads and loads of thick beef bones. If I place all of these into a pressure cooker for three hours minimum will it boil off the skin and meat etc, and turn the thick bones to brittleness after just 3 hours? Wow 👍👍

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Jennifer!!! Thanks for subscribing!!! If they are thick bones I probably would leave them in longer, maybe 6 or 7 hours. I say that because my kids had ribs, and I put them in with the chicken bones. The ribs were still hard. After the pressure cooker bake the bones or dehydrate them for a long while, to soften them up for grinding.

[@JJamiah]

Mine was ready in 3 hours. I use a heavy duty stovetop stainless steel pressure cooker from 24 years ago.

[@missdevemissdeve8266]

I make bone meal all the time ❤❤❤

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Missdeve!!! That is great. I just started about 2 months ago. I wish I had been doing it before
