Woodash as a source of potash has been used for centuries as a homemade fertiliser which can be used to fertilise root crops. Woodash can be used as a high potassium feed full of phosphorus but when combined with bonemeal it is also rich in calcium as well as lots of trace elements.
All too often we're told to leave bones and meat out of the compost pile for fear of causing a smell or attracting pests such as rats and foxes, rather than throwing these away we can turn them into a nutritious fertliser for root vegetables.

Here are some more ideas on how to make NPK from chicken bones - ua-cam.com/video/Mcq6HpNUhRY/v-deo.html
Wow! These are amazing video's... I can't believe this! I've been throwing my bones away for years.
Glad you like them!
Below someone made a comment about learning more from your videos than they did at school. I can see that, you are quickly becoming my number one channel for growing veg. Seriously, you put an entirely different spin on things than others, making your own bone ash, making a feed from chicken manure and water, making compost from chickens scraping. That’s just three things today I have learnt. I have had a mad busy day but watching your channel on a big screen tv helps me relax and plan for the weekend when I can get into the garden. Thanks again. John
I don't believe gardening should be expensive, and we make so much waste if there was a way i could make use of it all i would lol. Plus we grew up pretty poor so we learned to make use of things again and again. I'm really glad to hear they're helping
Salam,
Thank you. I reverted a few years ago but I had never actually considered bonemeal to be halal or not. Something to consider moving forward in the garden.
May y'all be blessed with a bountiful harvest. Ameen
Walaikum salaam. It's something a lot of people don't even consider which is why I did this not just to talk about the problem but also offer some alternatives
I learned more of your videos than I did in school. Keep it up
LOL mashallah
Bro, Ive seen your garden channel a few times before amongst other gardening channels and I like the way you get good results without wasting tons of money.
Nice one sir. I remember a story about how one tribe of american indians both sharing the same space in the desert. One half of the tribe followed the old ways and one a more modern tech path. The old ways crowd, throw the ash from burnt trees which they had collected as fire wood for cooking in ovens and when the wood was burnt away and all that was left was the minerals in the ash, that the tree had drew up from the earth through the root system in it's lifetime. So they tossed the ash over their gardens during planting season and not only were the plants bigger and more healthy but they contained an enormous volume of minerals that enhanced the health of the indians who consumed them. The modern tech crowd of indians asked them "hey, how come you never get sick?" lol. Thanks for another great tip brother. peace : )
Thank's for sharing that story, there is so much we can learn from the traditional ways and much of it won't cost us anything
Ash from the fire is good for so much, especially in chicken pen to dust bathe in and farm animal pens. It helps keep down the mites and other bugs that bother the animal
@@jennyanimal9046 knowledge of these things is so cool. We have been tossing Ash into the trash for years. Crazy.
I did this in a little Weber grill with some yard twigs and pine cones. I was blown away at how the bones actually BURNED! Thanks for inspiring me to try it. My soil thanks you too.
I am recently retired and I just found your videos. I found your compost videos very helpful and now this one! I make roasted chicken once a week and will make the bonemeal after I make soup. Thanks for helping me. It will save me from wasting money.
👍👍👍👍 I had a 55 gallon burn-drum, and lots of brush to burn in it. A layer of red ash developed in it, so I add the cat that failed to cross road. The ash was still hot the next morning. After the barrel cooled I emptied the ash out and the bones of the cat appeared and they crumbled into a POWDER. DIDN'T know I had perfect calcium plus the ash / fertilizer from the brush. There was no need to crush the bones in this circumstance.
Very good. I really like these videos that give ideas that can help us get closer to closed loop farming. Thanks for the background too, love to hear about how other parts of the world make things work, its a fascination of mine.
I think there's so much that goes to waste that can be used in the garden or even around the house, it's the sad thing about a disposable society
Maa Sha Allah, now I know how to compose and I now I know what to do with my bones after watching only two of your videos. May God reward you.
Alhamdullillah, glad they helped
Im learning so much! We have a woodburner, and it never occurred to me that I could use the ashes...duh! It also never occurred to me that as part of your faith, you would need to check things like boneash for its source. Another great vid - Im itching to get going! Our garden is under snow at the moment though so I will have to be content with making a cold frame from an old caravan window I found!
Hi,
I am a muslim as well and I was kinda surprised at his statement abt not being able to use commercial bone meal due to pork in it. Although I am not a scholar and I shoukd probably look in to this matter but I was under the impression that pork was forbidden to ingest. I thought other uses of the animal are permitted. As I said, I will have to read uo on that
i appreciate your stance on pig bones, my wife is firmly against anything pig; liked your straight forward method, just chuck them in the fire. i can do that, thanks Brother.
Bone ash tends to the a fast acting fertiliser whereas bonemeal is very slow release (years sometimes).
Absolutely, it's not a like for like but goes someway of providing a substitute and closing the gap.
@My Family Garden
Can you recommend quick release fertilisers (to buy in shops) to add when you plant tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers/aubirgines in containers outdoors.
I was adding chicken pellets and “fish and bone”. Now I realised that it was a mistake...
@Elena a liquid tomato feed would do the trick
@@Elena-zm4fc soak some banana peels in water for about 2-3 days
@@valeriesanchez3074
Thank you, I will try it.
Great way to make bone meal potash will have to give this ago thanks for sharing
Cheers mate. It's a nice free fertiliser for root veg anf fruiitng crops.
Thanks for the video. We have started making our own fertilizers/additives in addition to the compost piles. When growing up dad would hand me a posthole digger and have me dig as deep as I could get and add the dirt to the compost piles which would be added to the gardens the next growing season to "remineralize" the soil.
Machaalah thank you for this helpful information about fertilisation p and k for healthy plante
Love the way you dido this, bone ash, wood ash, and even some biochar for your garden.
I need to water the beans but I can't stop. You're awesome bro
Thank you very much! I've been looking for a traditional way to make bone meal but kept seeing videos with dehumidifiers and blenders.
Be careful to not use too much ash as you can massively change the pH of the soil.
Watching this bc my weed plants need nutriunts thx so much
Well informed video x Mandy
Thanks Ken, glad it was of benefit
Interesting Monty... hope the better half doesn’t see this because if I go missing and the allotment association enquire with her about an all night bonfire.... and her squashes start getting bigger.... well. Seriously, I might try this with some chicken bones.
Lol, that would help the plants no end 😂😂😂
Chicken bones break down much easier non less heat, good luck with it
Government has to make chicken shops to donate bones to local allotments ☺️
I asked couple of times coffee shop to give me their used coffee - was amazing addition to my garden.
You can get some of the waste from butchers, they hand it out free
Brilliant video. Thank you very much
Wa alaikum salaam,
Health and safety director... I have one of those. ;) Masha'Allah
another great vid. I learned a lot. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
MashaAllah. Brilliant. I am learning so much from you! I'm a new gardener. 😊 Jazakallah khair.
Barakallah feek, I'm glad they're helpful
Thank you for creating this helpful tutorial! I will definitely give it a try.
Good luck with it
Good morning Mothin. Your Health and Safety Director is a very caring person. Good advice. I didn't know that blood and bone meal was from pigs. Thank you for the information. Stay safe. Best wishes Bob.
Hi Bob, different brands are slightly different and some may just use cow or sheep but a lot of the especially cheaper one's just use whatever they get. Hope you're well
thank you again another great vid, more info i dint know about my garden keep up the good work pal
Nice one, will keep them coming
My Family Garden you should do a video on how to keep them bugs off your chillie plants if you get time 🙂👍 I’ve always struggled keeping them away
Thank you very much brother for this tutorial I highly appreciate it ,god bless
You are very welcome
MashaAllah doing gud job appreciate ur talent and hard work👍
Jazakallah Khair
As Sallamu alaikum, so glad I found your channel bro I love what you are doing in your garden, home made organic nutrients are the way to go. Have you considered adding a mushroom bed to your garden? I have and it is a amazing since I really don't eat much meat but I grow oyster mushrooms and Lions mane mushrooms and they're delicious. Next thing I want to do is inoculate some logs with mushrooms. but keep up the good work brother
Walaikum salaam, I'm glad you found it too. Brilliant suggestion. I've got some beds inoculated with oysters and wine cap mushrooms (videos are posted on my Patreon account) and planning on doing some logs this autumn, I'm spreading the mycelium to the rest of my garden. Jazakallah khair for the support
Mashallah, Very inspirational videos brother, i came across you from my brother on Facebook, I subbed and will be keeping updated with your new stuff, in the meantime I'll be checking all of your other helpful videos, thanks man.
Barakallah feek, I'm so glad you found us
Very good information provided thank you
Glad it helped
So simple and smart. Will start throwing bones in my wood stove
Great idea, one less thing to throw away! We have a wood stove, is it worth putting bones in at the end of the evening with last lot of wood. Then emptying/blending the cooled ash into our compost in small amounts? I read if you mix wood ash, it should be only be done to the point where you can't see any obvious difference in colour. Maybe it's worth storing the ash until spring when we use the compost - will this be ok? Appreciate your advice, thanks! 😊
Thanks for sharing. Very handy I can use it very easily.
Asalamu alekum bahi very good info about bonemeal
Walaikum salaam, glad you like it
Thanks for the education this really helps!
Glad it was helpful!
Going to have to try this. Thanks for the information. 👍
i've been using that for a long time
Youve done a great job making this, nice one!
Thanks a lot Stu!
Love you his! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
I wanted to try this method of heating bones in the fire, so decided to do a little research and found this video, thanks for the input..........when I have seen instructions for making Bone Meal commercially it has either said steam them or bake them in an oven before pulverising them................so I wondered...........if heating bones in a fire (that is very high heat......a lot higher than an oven) could somehow ruin the chemical composition in a way that is not beneficial to preserving the Phosphorus in the Bone Meal (like when you make charcoal.......the chemical product of heating wood on a lower heat is a lot different than when you just burn it in a fire........because only the impurities are released when you heat it without combusting it.....but the burnable carbon is preserved as charcoal). This is something of a mystery to me at the moment.......but I would love to understand the process and the nature of Phosphorus better..........temperature seems to play a big part in how chemicals react and change. I've heard that clay soils can actually hold onto Phosphorus better because they don't leach nutrients away as easy.............but the trade off is that clay tends to be at least partially alkaline (which isn't good for Bone Meal.........as it doesn't release Phosphorus without being in an acid or neutral soil). I'm still definitely going to give it a try though......even if I just oven bake the bones............and use the wood ash from the bonfire for my Potassium booster.
You're absolutely right, burning on a naked flame will cause a reduced amount of phosphorus available to the plants, but calcium doesn't burn. The reason i use this method is because the fire was used to BBQ so the ash and charcoal are by products, rather than heating in the kitchen oven just for this if that makes sense. Try planting buckcwheat as a cover crop, that will make available the phosphorus in the soil to plants
Thank you thank you thank you
Can’t thank you enough for reminding me not to use bone and blood from shops
alhamdulillah
My family tries not to waste anything. We eat a lot of halal meat and used to throw away the bones. Now we can use them as fertilizer.
Inshallah
Shukran brother. I'll def give this a go.
@subscribed:)
My family garden - Please, how did you save the bones? Did you compost them first or did any dog or cat help with it? I mean-how did you get rid of the "bad bacteria!" and meat which was left on them? I cant imagine just leaving them somewhere and wait couple of weeks...
The bones were left over from cooking so there was very little left on them. If you have a dog it could help by cleaning the bones.
One thing you could do is put your bones 🦴 in a Tupperware or plastic bag and put them in the freezer. Then when you have a fire 🔥 pull them out and use them
Masha Allah this is very useful to me. I always thought that bonemeal is very difficult to absorb. Bone ash should be a good replacement to bone meal right without any phosphorus loss right? If I burn my bone meal will it be good enough? because I have no bones right now and I don't wanna waste the leftover bone meal.
Bone meal with release nutrients over a few years. There will be some phosphorus loss dues to the heat but from a waste products it's acceptable. If you have bone meal I wouldn't use it to make this because it will burn completely
Love your vids bro. I have just started gardening but I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing lol
Thanks brother, just keep going and let things overwhelm you. Plants know what to do
🙂 Some great tips in this video 👍
you can use banana peel as potash as well.
Banana peal is a good source of potassium

As-salamu alaikum, sir!
Wonderful video; very informative. Would you be able to tell me what your burning pit is made out of? I'd love to make a set up like that myself for my compost.
Many thanks!

Salam brother Mothin.Thank you soo much for such inspiring and helpful video's.Me and hubby have just moved into our new house and just started gardening for the first time.We are exploring and learning something new everyday about gardening however I was very disappointed to learn that fish,blood and bone is not suitable for our garden.I wanted to ask how you knew that it contains pig blood as it doesn't state on the box.Your answer would be appropriated.
Thank you
Walaikum Salaam,
A little about me, i am an Imam and a mufti and teach islamic studies. I contacted a number of manufacturers about 4/5 years ago and they confirmed they use slaughterhouse waste regardless of animal source including pigs/cows/sheep and chicken. Some of the manufacturers do list the animal sources, but the majority do not. Blood in itself is haram for us to buy and sell and pig even more so.
Maa shaa Allah....now i know a little about your background...no wonder your face is full of "noor"....may Allah bless you and your family and your neighbours around you.
Aoa
Brother i am a new gardener.learning a lot from your very helpful videos.tell me how we
can bring it down ph soil level from 8.5 to 7 neutral.i am from Pakistan isb.you have good knowledge in the gardening. I think you from saudia.pls let me know what to add and fix soil on 7.jazakallah.
Sulphor wil hel reduce the PH
Thank u for this video 👍
Very useful and practical info Mothin! So much of what gets thrown away, can be utilised in the garden. I'm glad you're listening to the Missus 😄 She has an interest in keeping you healthy! Take care bro.
Absolutely, so much waste. Lol she's the boss
Maashaa allah my brother thanks for this great idea
That was brilliant, i always wondered how i could use the bones and bonemeal is expensive here. I was watching 5 videos from u in a row and u have a new subscriber. Question, of what is ur fire tube made from? It looks so thick and sturdy.
It's a 1 inch thick steel pipe
@@MyFamilyGarden Thanks for the answer.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! I've made so much and it works so well! Too bad I can't see my brother anymore...
Lmao 🤣🤣😂 at least your garden will grow
JazakmUllahu khaiyran. Now we know what to do with our haddi (bones). Again, I can't believe we thrown away so much bones over the years. How did you learn about percentages of the minerals?
Walaikum Salaam, it's amazing how much waste can be put to good use. I learned from studying
Wa alaykum assalam wrwb great idea thanks for sharing 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Thanks for liking
Great information. I use some of the ashes from my wood stove in my garden. Do you are saying that wood ash are good for root crops?
Thank you, wood ash contains potassium and other trace elements so is good for both root cropss and fruiting crops
Great video mothin bhai need to try it
Jazakallah Khair
Mashallah shukran habibie
Cant wait till Saturday stream today
Can you make a video on how to do a grass/plants fertiliser (grass/plant tea).

Hi bone meal and bone ash what is the difference . Also you included wood in it so it becomes woodash which in turn make soil alkaline despite of potash /pottasium . Plz reply
Very useful vdo
Glad it was helpful
How long does it take a big bone, such as a beef or lamb leg into ash? Thanks 👍👍👍
Great video. Take care, Poo
Thanks Poo
Asalamu Alaikum Brother I am from South Africa. I would like your advice. I would like to make a fertilizer using bovine hooves. Can I use the same process to make a fertilizer out of it? Jazakallah and Ramadan Kareem
Walaikum salaam, if you could grind them up and dry them that would be better then you wouldn't lose any fertility, otherwise this is an option you can use
I am thinking of giving it a slight cook with water and then drying it before grinding it further into a smaller grit.
Very useful tips you have 👍. Which city are you from brother?
I'm in Leeds
Hello,
That was hilarious about the "safety officer." I like your grill vessel, and how narrow it is. Do you have a link for that? Thank you.
It's home made from industrial steel piping
@@MyFamilyGarden Wow!
Yo fam idk how far you take it but marshmallows are made with gelatin from pig fat. Just a heads up not trying to hate or kill anyone's fun.
What would happen if you put this on veg beds, then urine and rainwater 1:10, and eggshells (calcium carbonate) in vinegar (becomes calcium acetate)?
Mash Allah
Wow. On it!!!
It's a really good free fertilizer

Would they attract ants in potted plants...
Once they're burnt it shouldn't do, ash can actually be used as an incecticide
Ashes are one of the few things that actually disgust ants. This stuff will make them run away. I've used it many times.
ASWW
Just wanted to know if bone ash can be made with coal rather than wood?
Jazakallah khair in advance
If it's real coal I wouldn't add it as it contains heavy metals. But if it's charcoal I think it will be ok
ASSALAMU ALAIKUM W W SIR WE CAN USE THIS BONE ASH POLITRY?
Walaikum salaam, yes
jazakallahu khair
Barakalluh feek
Where did you get the metal bin for the fire? I’ve searched around in my area and everything is cheaply made and flimsy aluminum.
bone powder (boneMeal) have potasium in it Like Banan Peals.?Is Corn Starch Potasium?
Yes
You said you went back to Desh as a child... Which part of Sylhet is your family from, bro, if you don't mind my asking?

While you 'r at it, add seashells if this is hallal for you.
that's a really good idea
Can you just burn egg shells?
I cant burn anything where i live yet as we can only burn with grills and i dont have one. Can i put the bones in the oven repeatedly over time?
Yes they will in many ways it'll be better
Can u please make bloodmeal video?
I use the water left over from washing meat and fish
Make fish fertiliser from leaf mould and dead fish.
can you use cremated ashes?
