Yeah, I'm trying it.
I'll keep you posted.

I want to know if it works. This is the best way, I reckon.Out of curiosity, why? Don't get me wrong if nobody experimented, we'd never progress. Just wonderin'.
Doesn't bacteria speed the decomposition process? And isn't tea nothing but a concentration of decompostion bacteria? Ergo, shouldn't a bonemeal tea provide much more phosphorous than plain mixing it into the soil?i use finely ground bonemeal in my teas, dont expect you tea to be strong because of bonemeal, it takes time for that stuff to break down really its better to just mix it in the soil.

Maybe if you had the bone meal in your tea brewer for a few months you might find what you're looking for. Most mix bone meal into their soil/compost/medium at let it compost for a month or so before using it. I've seen bottle liquid bone meal, i don't know how its processed it to make it water soluble. Why Bone Meal? As JH pointed out there are better sources of (P) besides bone meal.Doesn't bacteria speed the decomposition process?

Since bones are boiled for (proteinaceous) broth, wouldn't the tea be a bit of an N jolt? cnLet us know how it works out. Typically, bone meal is mixed into the soil as a slow release (very slow) source of P. Making a tea would require a certain solubility. Out of curiosity, why?
