Question about Blood Meal
Comments (14)Hi, so I have a question I thawed some pork chops and thought I could use the blood the garden. So I cooked it in the oven but I think I over cooked it bc it isnt coming off of my pan.. I cooked it at 200 but I was in the kitchen doing a few things so i didnt think it was very long.. I guess I didnt check on it enough or stir it. But half of it came up and half it it stuck to my small cake pan I dont use much.. I was going to cook the bones down as much as I can so break them down and put them in the compost.. well my question is how can I get the other half up? Add water then put it the oven to soften it up then scrape and then what?...See MoreWhere do you buy bulk blood meal, bone meal, etc.?
Comments (6)According to the people that should know about these things say no. Putting blood and/or bone meal on your garden will not result in the foods grown in that soil up taking these potential brain destroyers unless you eat the soil they were grown in.

Comments (3)The best amendments for Arizona soil are not the ones you mention. First you need a moisture meter, and a reliable supply of water. Vegetable gardens need stable moisture or the yields drop. Soil sulfur will lower the pH a bit and make a lot of minerals more available to the plants. The local soil also tends to be high in sodium - a liberal application of gypsum will improve things by locking up the sodium. Lots of organic materials - anything you can compost - will do more for your soil than anything other additive. Using heavy mulches helps.

Comments (7)Such as...better things to use? Have you looked at any of the hundreds of great organic nutrient supplements available? Things that actually work and do it without harming the plants. They come in both liquid and granular forms. Things like fish emulsion, kelp and seaweed blends, humic acid, Espoma Tomato fertilizers, Fox Farm products, alfalfa and cottonseed meals, Biomarine, Earth Juice products, etc. just to name a few. Just Google 'organic fertilizers'. Dave...See Moregardenlad
