BONES AS MANURE
MUST BE IN SUITABLE CONDITION
To be of the best use in a garden bones must be reduced to a condition suitable for general purposes. The bones can be packed into barrels with alternate layers of wood ash. Left out in the weather, they will in time reduce to a powder suitable for use. A much quicker method is to pour sulphuric acid over the bones in the barrel. This quickly reduces the bones to a fine powder known as dissolved bone. This is quick in action as the! phosphates are readily soluble when ) applied to the soil.
