Bone ash has a significant amount of calcium and phosphorus (~55% calcium oxide and ~42% phosphorus pentoxide) which is good to raise the pH of the soil (especially in areas were soil is acidic) when gardening plants and putting in new shrubs and trees in your garden. It also contains some nitrogen and potassium, also good for plants, and comes in a dry form which makes it more useful when planting plants.
Bone ash is also used in making ceramics and as a polishing compound. It should not be confused with bone meal, which is a mixture of finely and coarsely ground animal bones and slaughter house waste products. Bone meal is also used as an organic fertilizer for plants and as a nutritional supplement for animals: bone ash is NOT used as a nutritional supplement for livestock. Bone meal is predominantly phosphorus and is a slow-release fertilizer, especially the coarse form.
