Hi Doreen. I was wondering where you found your information.
Was it from a book or magazine article? I'd sure like to read
more about it if you have any sources. I'm a little confused.
One person says it doesn't release the nutrients, and you're
saying it doesn't have any nutrients to begin with. What is it
that makes rock phosphate better at releasing it's nutrients to
the soil? Or is it just a pure nutrient? My bag of bone meal gives
the NPK numbers (I forget now what they said), so does that mean
that none of those numbers are actually available?
You can e-mail me privately
if you don't want to post to the list.
Thanks,
Shawn
