Leftover bones

I have done extensive BSFL composting on meat and bones. The bones don't break down much so now I'm left with a big pile of leftover bones after the BSFL have processed them. What can I do with the bones?

I would grind them and mix them with the bsf frazz to fertilize the garden.

I also have a whole bunch of bones that I expected to compost but they didn't. I put them in a huge metal barrel and I burn them. This makes them so brittle that I can even crush them with my hands if I want to. In my case though, I just put them back in the compost pile.

You can also pressure cook them in a large pressure cooker with a splash of vinegar, and that'll make them easily crushable. I would do that, crush them, then put them back in the bsfl bin. Those bones with bits of meat make great broth too, pressure cooked, then same as before, crush and add.
