Is there anything better than Blood and Bone?

 

I know some swear by chook poo, some seasol,
 personally I can't find anything better than blood and bone.

The question has no answer because there is no such thing as the "best" soil
amendment under all circumstances.  The best one for a given situation is
the one that does what is needed for that soil at that time for that crop
and is readily available and cheap.  At various times I have used: chicken
litter, horse and cow manure, compost, garden lime, dolomite, gypsum,
potassium sulphate, seasol, trace element mix, blood and bone and probably a
few more that I have forgotten.

Are you talking about strawberries?
I prefer cream and topping with mine....

g'day linda,

we now don't sue any, preffering instead the feed the medium on a
continuing basis with food scarps, spent vegetable plants and green
type mulches along with mostly kitchen water and urine mixed in, we
have our composting worms in the garden beds (producing their castings
and worm wee right where we want it)and they look after all that along
with the other processes in breaking that down into nutrients for the
plants.
