Bonemeal & dried blood are allowed under my state certifying agency.
Is there a risk to using these?? Are they processed enough to kill
lurking pathogens? I don't put meat in my compost, and wonder if this
isn't in effect doing the same thing. This may all be irrational
seeing as the "experts" say it's okay. But I don't trust anyone, until
I've seen/read/heard proof myself, and so far, the jury's out.
Also...
Can rock phosphate be 0-46%-0 ?? (I know-I'm a pit bull. Persuade
me, PLEASE!! This number seems high for unadulterated rp.)
