Hi all!
First of all, thanks to everyone in this subforum! I learned most of what I know about soils in here.
My cat died recently. I had her cremated. I now have her ashes. I just added 20mL of her ashes into my bubbling compost tea.
Are animal ashes ok as a fertilizer?
I called the company and they said they didn't preserve the corpse in formaldehyde or added anything and that it's safe to be used as fertilizer.
I read somewhere that human ashes have too much salt to be used as fertilizers and that they would easily harm plants, which is why I'm asking.
Thanks!
