In a research project in UK about 10 years ago, the findings were as
follows: bone meal no longer is of much value because the cattle are no
longer fed what they had been fed for years. I am no scientist. So I wrote
the fellow who did the report and he said an analysis of the bones revealed
there was no real value to using them on plants any more. I must track down
that report. That is the reason I have not used it any more.
This may make it even more annoying for us in New Zealand (where, as Moira
said, we can no longer get bone meal) because the cows are being fed the
same as ever - grass, and lots of it.
