This and blood or blood meal attracted something to dig it up at night. Not sure if raccoons, opossums or skunks.
I do this in beds I'm not using that year.

I dont use blind meal for that reason, I havnt had any problems with the bonemeal, even though we have lots of carnivorous diggers around here. I even tested it, tried sprinking a large amount around a grass clump I didn't want to have to tackle it spring... did nothing. I have heard mixing it with ash kills the smell. I do that when I actually use it, and bury it at least 6 inches deep. I always scorch the bones just a bit at 350 at the end of my oven dry time, so I wonder if that kills the smell.
