How to make Bone Meal, Blood Meal & Fish Emulsion
Bone meal, blood meal, and fish emulsion are all organic fertilizers commonly used in gardening and farming.
How To Make Bone Meal
Bone meal is a natural fertilizer that's high in phosphorus and calcium, two essential nutrients for plant growth. Here's how to make bone meal:
Collect bones
Collect bones from a butcher or save bones from meals you've cooked.
Clean the bones
Remove any remaining flesh or tissue from the bones, then wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
Dry the bones
Spread the bones out in a single layer on a baking sheet and place them in the oven at a low temperature (around 200°F) for several hours, or until they're completely dry and brittle.
Grind the bones
Once the bones are dry, use a mortar and pestle, food processor, or blender to grind them into a fine powder.
Store the bone meal
Store the bone meal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use it.
Use the bone meal
Sprinkle the bone meal around the base of your plants or mix it into the soil before planting to provide them with the essential nutrients they need to grow.
By following these steps, you can make your own bone meal and provide your plants with a natural source of phosphorus and calcium.
How To Make BLood Meal
Blood meal is a natural fertilizer that's high in nitrogen and can help promote healthy plant growth. Here's how to make blood meal:
Collect blood
Collect blood from a butcher or save blood from meals you've cooked. You can use blood from any animal, but cow blood is commonly used.

Grind the blood
Once the blood is dry, use a mortar and pestle, food processor, or blender to grind it into a fine powder.
Store the blood meal
Store the blood meal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use it.
Use the blood meal
Sprinkle the blood meal around the base of your plants or mix it into the soil before planting to provide them with the essential nitrogen they need to grow.
By following these steps, you can make your own blood meal and provide your plants with a natural source of nitrogen.
How To Make Fish Emulsion
Fish emulsion is a natural fertilizer that's high in nitrogen and other essential nutrients for plant growth. Here's how to make fish emulsion:
Choose your fish
You can use any type of fish, but oily fish like salmon and mackerel are often used because they contain more oils and nutrients.
Chop the fish
Chop the fish into small pieces, including the bones and organs. The smaller the pieces, the faster the decomposition process
Mix with water
Place the chopped fish in a container and cover it with water. The ratio should be one part fish to three parts water.
Add sugar
Add a small amount of sugar to the mixture to help feed the bacteria and speed up the decomposition process.
Let it ferment
Cover the container and let it sit in a warm, dark place for several weeks, stirring occasionally. The mixture will start to ferment and break down.
Strain the liquid
After several weeks, strain the liquid from the solid material using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Dilute and use
Dilute the fish emulsion with water at a ratio of one part emulsion to four parts water. Use the diluted fish emulsion as a fertilizer for your plants.
By following these steps, you can make your own fish emulsion and provide your plants with a natural source of nitrogen and other essential nutrients.
