I suspect English may be a second language to the UBC OP.....'foment' means to incite, as in riots or rebellions. 'Fermented' bone soup makes a great deal more sense :-) And aerobically is spelled incorrectly and is used incorrectly as well - I'd guess he/she meant anaerobically, unless they somehow pumped oxygen into the mix.

I bet the stuff stunk to high heavens......think rotten animal parts. Yuck!!

Fermented bone meal seems to be popular with home growers of wacky tobacky but they often have some pretty wacky ideas about growing anyway. Have no idea what it might do for rhododendrons or other acid loving plants......can't think of any reason it would be especially beneficial. Or beneficial enough to endure the stink.

I would guess it will raise the pH which could tie up iron as suggested.

And yeah, whoooo-weeee! :-o

I saw a recipe once for a beer from the middle ages that included one slaughtered, cleaned and chopped rooster added during the fermentation. Cock Ale, they called it. Ouch.

I can't help thinking there's a great pun in here somewhere about fomenting rebullion...hahaha.
