Default Blood Meal and Mad Cow question for the group.

They don't make bone meal out of ruminant bones anymore, because
the steam process doesn't kill the BSE prions.

I don't know about blood meal. I'll ask my state veterinarian when I talk
to him and report back. (He's the one who told me it's safe to use bone
meal in the garden again.)

Greetings.
I have been gardening using blood meal
along with "Plant Tone" which is
made with animal products.
I was wondering what your thoughts were about the
safety of these products,
and if anyone here used them.
I also use composted cow manure (Black Kow).
Cheers!

My thoughts are that you've got more chance of flying to the moon than
contracting anything that way.

We in the UK have been there already.



Mind you, I'm a bicycle:-))
