At present, bone meal cannot be acquired in fortress mode. The only sign of its existence is the custom [[Stockpile#Food|food stockpile]] option for bone meal that does not actually do anything except confuse the occasional wayward player; perhaps that is how you ended up at this page in the first place.

Bone meal frequently appears in [[night troll]] lairs and [[minotaur]] labyrinths in [[adventurer mode]]. It currently has no use and appears to be nothing more than a prop. Although obviously made of bone, {{token|BONECARN}} creatures have never yet been observed consuming it.
