Egg shells and groceries trash as fertilizer yes, but this is first time I heard any leftover bones/bone dust can be used to enrich soil nutrition. :nyoron:

bone dusts are very useful.. in fact in the past there have been cases of cemeteries having graves dugged up to take bones from the graves in the Old England. it was insane. good thing we.. don't do that anymore. we can use bones from the slaughterhouses.

For those curious there are three primary ingredients in fertilizers:

Nitrogen - Compost (Rotting organic matter, like food), manure and from planting legumes in the area as it naturally bring nitrogen to the soil.
Phosphorus - Bone Meal (Ground up bones), Seashell Meal, and Eggshell Meal.
Potassium - Compost, Manure, Ash (From wood/plant; Also known as potash, but different from potash made today) and for their location they can also use Kelp Meal (Dried kelp/seaweed ground up).

I feel like I have it practically memorized from how frequent this pops up in isekai stories. Though I wonder how many address things like overuse of fertilizers. Like another person mentioned, there's a reason stuff like bone meal is often used for crafting recipes in games.

Given the march through medieval and antiquity knowledge, I wonder if this girl will start collecting urine / imposing a urine tax at some point since it can be used in things like fertilizer, tanning and production of gunpowder. It just seems like the kind of off the wall concepts that would surprise or disgust the locals initially but was fairly common through our own history.

it's actually called "bone meal", it came to me from games like minecraft where we use it as both white dyeing and to grow any type of herb, flower, tree, etc. :3
