some bad info in this thread

This is not standard or general purpose fertilizer. It is a highly specific, high calcium fertilizer for certain plants/vegetables and growing stages. Do not compare to general nitrogen fertilizer

If you are growing potatoes you should be amending your soil with bone meal, and using it again about half way through the growing cycle. If using a raised bed, the soil should be 1/3 topsoil, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 black cow manure mixed thoroughly. You can substitute compost for the manure if you have it.

Also dressing down all your soil with fish can do wonders if you are having issues with soil quality. YMMV, If you have dogs may dig up your garden if you do this, but the best production I've had, were times when I threw a bunch of ribbon fish (trash fish) into the garden and covered them with dirt, a few weeks before the planting season started.

These were $7.68 April 2022. At the time Amazon was out of stock & Walmart cancelled my order refusing to ship it. Bone meal & blood meal prices have gone up like crazy, just as so many other gardening related product prices have. I would have scoffed at $9+ for 4lb of bone meal 3 years ago. In 2023 this is probably as slick a deal as we're going to get.

Read some of the reviews. A lot indicate that it gets smelly. If you have a dog it drives them crazy.

FYI, macronutrient N-P-K ratio for this product is stated to be 2-14-0. Unless you tested your soil and it needs phosphorus, this is next to useless, as most soils have plenty of it and it doesn't deplete like nitrogen. At the very least get something with a ratio close to 3-1-2, such as 15-5-10 or some such, which most plants need, even though it would still be overpriced. Sure, it may have organic matter, which is good in the long term, but that won't feed your plants this year, before that organic matter decomposes and becomes available for the plants.

So much plant and soil science disinformation these days. Earlier today I found someone on social media suggesting the use of banana peel water for tomatoes which can actually be harmful to the plant. I understand making money by selling useless fertilizers, but who would post harmful gardening advice?

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are the source of disinfo if you call bone meal useless

Do you have some source on that or you're just following some tradition?

I'm asking because bone meal usefulness is currently considered a myth, see an extension prof's list of myths, the first one being exactly about bone meal: https://puyallup.wsu.edu/lcs/

While I understand what she is saying, I am particularly talking about captured soil in a bucket, not in ground planting. The only things entering and exiting that soil is being added, and after each season of planting, the soil is depleted. It even says
"Bone meal supplies high levels of phosphorus and calcium, elements that are rarely limiting in non-agricultural soils."
"Before you add any supplementary nutrients to your landscape, have a complete soil test performed first."

We're not talking about non-agricultural soils, we are talking about agricultural soils. Plants remove nutrients from the soil, which is why we amend them. If you have a question about your soil quality, send it off for analysis. Since I garden in buckets/raised beds, its completely different as far as far as fertilizing and watering. You have to almost water daily, and water draining out of the soil (and bucket) often takes the fertilizer with it over time.

Newest thing I saw is wrapping copper wires around a stick and sticking it into your garden bed

Yes, planting in bags, buckets and such is different in that you need to replenish the minerals more often. And analyzing such a small amount of soil is a bit of an overkill; DIY soil testing kits are an option but are neither very reliable nor precise (don't offer numbers, only wide ranges.) But I still don't see the emphasis on phosphorus which this bone meal is richest on, I personally would still go with a more nitrogen-rich fertilizer, knowing that that's what plants use up the most.

I just ordered the 24 lb bag of Bone Meal from Amazon. It's a little cheaper per pound than this. Bone meal breaks down fairly slowly, so there's not much reason to worry about over-fertilizing your garden. I garden pretty intensively (close spacing) in raised beds, and here in Pensacola, we get about 60 inches of rain a year, so nutrients get washed out pretty fast. I follow this YouTuber, and he just made a video about using bone meal on tomatoes.
