How to make fertilizer for farming?

[Fried Chicken Quan]

I made a planter and put compost heap made from wood with aloe seeds in the planter and nothing is happening! What am I doing wrong?

put the compost heap on the ground and fill it with rotten meat, plant fibre and bone meal <bones in the grinder>

How are we supposed to know this?
Same with the food for the thralls?

For the potent compost you will need 2 ash, 2 blood & 2 regular compost. You can get blood by putting human flesh in the press or from the Derketo altar with oil. Ash from the volcano or sometimes thralls have it.

Thanx, for the Bone Meal part. I was wondering what the third material was. I wish the game actually told you what the icon in the instructions were. If players have never seen the material before the instructions are useless.

I dont believe potent compost actually does anything as of the current patch

Potent Compost is only for planting Lotus seeds.
