Hmm bone char is new to me but I would say use some but not an equal to bone meal, use both IMO 1/4 char maybe? If you look at it $1/lb is relatively cheap considering your final product. Do a test but good luck this season either way and peace, NS

is the bone char powdered? read the benefits of char in the terra preta sticky. the use of bones is also in there.

yea this interests me. I made some biochar today and thought about using my dogs leftover bones. I wonder what the char process is like to retain such a significant phosphorus content.

its kinda a powder.Its animal bones they burn up.
and its realy cheap.but being like charcoal im thinking it would break down way to slow.I used some on my lawn and over the summer it worked well.gota love a 0-16-0
i want to try it for flowering .But from what i see it breaks down realy slow.kinda like green sand

whats wrong with a long term source of nutrients? that means less feeding on your part.
