    Hi all, I've a query on blood, fish and bone. I use this every year for my flowers. I have enough this year to also feed the veg patch. Is there a chance that the blood and/or bone come from a bse-infected animal? I know this disease is still in the animal chain so wondered where the blood and bone come from. Does anyone know?

    Supposed to be OK, but some years ago the RHS recommended using a mask/not inhaling, so perhaps use one of these?
