Fish Hydrolysate - Fermented Fish Fertilizer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- This batch is based on 2 large wild king salmon I caught. The fillets went into the smoker, freezer, and our bellies. The fish carcasses went into a bucket with molasses and water and allowed to ferment with naturally incurring lacto bacteria. It will stink for 1-3 weeks but then become a wonderful fertilizer for your soil and plants.
A buddy started giving me walleye carcasses and I just kept dumping them in a 55 gal. steel barrel with water. I did add some urine at one point. It sat for a year before I ventured to use it. Believe me..... it still smelled pretty rank. Wear rubber gloves and don't spill even a drop on your clothes. I didn't dilute it nearly enough cause I managed to burn 30 tomato plants and several pepper plants on first application. Fortunately I had plenty of extra plants to replace them with. So lesson learned..... dilute, dilute, dilute.
Once properly diluted, did it work well for you? I am under the impression that diluting to 1000 ppm ec is a good starting point.
I love it! You have inspired me to ferment fish fertilizer for my garden. Thanks for the content and inspiration cousin!
Thanks for the vid, was helpful to see the whole process! Btw if you like salmon fat, I would recommend to eat the collars! Especially grilled :)
Wow, proof in your lush green healthy plants
Thank you
You can dissolve fishbones with vinegar. 1:10 . And that solution can be added 1:1000 . Great P fertilizer. same goes for eggshells (Ca) or carbonized/burnt animal bones. (P)
Thanks for the tip!
I add eggshells and vinegar to the blender and grind it to a powdery mixture. Then I heat the mixture in the microwave until it is bubbling. The vinegar is neutralized very quickly and is ready for use the same day. I use pH paper to confirm that the acicity is neutralized.
@@bunzinthesun i also use eggshells WCA but in a separate jar so i can dose it better and dont use the microwave but just let it sit until it dissolves. Interesting method you have!
Ooh, i can smell those from here.
lol, it's the smell of a happy garden :)
You should use dissolved boiled potatoes. It feeds a wider range of microorganisms!
I never heard of that, cool
The recipe I watched and are going to try, uses leaf mould and not molasses. He also used a water seal so that the gas can escape but the air can't get in. This process took 3 - 6 months (preferably a year!).
This is a different type of fertilizer
☝Listen, ...☝
Okay,
☝ Real Talk
☝In Asia, a Salmon Fish Head is a meal for the whole family. Grilled or as a soup. The fact that you call this waste says a lot, without me knowing you personally. I was taught from an early age not to waste anything and to have respect for all living beings. You seem to have grown up rich and be rich. Next time throw some more lobsters, whole salmon in the bucket. 🤑🤑💲💲💲💲💲💲🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🍌🍌🤡🤡I think your bulky waste is worth its weight in gold to others. Your organic bin is a luxury for the homeless. Another fish, or small fish would be okay, but salmon? Salmon as Fertilizer? Come on, this is madness! 🤦♂🤦♂ Salmon smh, what next? Lobster? Alaskan Crab?
Its quite a good one actually
Molasses is one of the acidic sugars. Remember there’s dozens of th8ngs to use, bananas, sweet potatoes,grapes,mangoes, apples. The whole fruits have the advantage of being alkaline.sugar concentrates, white sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar, your moms sugar is all aciditic. Lol, jk about the mom thing
@@zacklee-of3te well it's been a year and I still have plenty left, it's stinky still but not make me dry heave stinky like your mum (just kidding about the mum thing). All jokes aside it works well and I'll be using it for probably another 2 years.
Very nice demonstration 👍👍🇺🇸
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great job
Thank you, I am proud of it and its effects on my garden.
Encourageable
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Have you been putting fish fertilizer on these plants ? They look fabulous.
Yep, homemade fertilizer is all my plants get. Thank you.
You could drill a small hole in the side of the bucket at high level and tape a much smaller piece of mesh over it to take care of off gassing.
That leaves the lid in one piece to keep out rain and critters.
Good idea. I'll try that next time.
Place liquid in a medium size muffin pan to freeze them like pucks. keep them in a ziplock back in a freezer and pull them out as needed.
Good idea. I use it too fast, plus I fish enough I often make new batches. I'd also be nervous that freezing might kill off some of the beneficial microorganisms that helped break down the carcass.
Honestly it can't be any worse than the ground freezing every winter. microbes come back every year.
@neville3059 ground doesn't freeze every year. They could go deep enough to avoid that no matter region except poles I do believe.
Very nice ❤
Thank you! I hope you give it a try.
This will beat just burying the frames. I get mixed results the old way, sometimes it attracts root rot sometimes not... but I think this way will avoid that
Another advantage doing it this way over just burying a fish carcass is that this goes a really long way because you can dilute it. Burying a fish carcass just puts those nutrients in that one localized area. Give it a shot, I think you’ll enjoy it!
Thats JLF. Hydrolysate is done with lacto bacteria
Need to leave it longer to get it all of it and use what you have and keep topping the water
I fish a lot, and will let another batch go longer to see how it goes.
@@OutdoorScienceDad If you have the time and patience, everything will be totally dissolved after 1 year. I checked mine at 6 months... and still had all the rib, back and pin bones and gill plates left. 6 months later? All liquid. A piece of advise if I may: use a good blender to blend the fish liquid and bones together. Comes out a lot smoother and doesn't clog the watering can as much. Cheers!
nice but i like some wild salmon heads in a fish head curry :)
That sounds delicious 😋
Ewww
I buy 10 pound bags with carcasses of salmon trout locally farmed in the Baltic Sea to make a chowder with veggies, white wine, saffron and cream. I wonder if the substatioal leftovers from those soups could be put in the compost or pt through your process
@@velotill My friend! This is delicious! Speaking of which, a lot of fish mongers throw out carcasses so this could be a bit of inspo.
I'll have to talk to dad and ask what he thinks of it.
Does it work with seaweed. When I upgrade to a ute I'll put loads of seaweed in the back of it and make some seaweed fertiliser. I am not a fan of it tho
Yes, I make seaweed fertilizer the same way. It adds loads of minerals and micronutrients. ruclips.net/video/VdXj7A1LqgI/видео.html
Pregunto para que sirve ese preparado que elementos aport al jardin
El uso de pescado para producir fertilizante le brinda a su jardín todos los nutrientes y minerales principales que su suelo necesita para estar muy saludable y sustentar la vida de las plantas. Un pez, como la mayoría de los seres vivos, está formado por muchas cosas diferentes, sangre, huesos, grasa y más. Todo eso construye un suelo saludable y alimenta a los microorganismos que sustentan las plantas.
Use an aluminum screen to keep rodents from chewing through
What is bucket size, contains ten litter or more!?
5 gallon, so about 20 litters
You must have any flies in your area, if I were to use that screen the entire surface area would be covered with flies instantly
Surprisingly, flies have never been a problem, and we do definitely have them. Most flies are too big to fit in this size screen.
Flies are all around...and THEY WILL find it. No stopping flies!
Do molasses have advantages over other sugar forms?
yes

How much npk do yo think you are getting from pail full of fish?? Why don’t you get it tested for nutrients? Snake oil
I am not sure where to get something like this tested for NPK. It's easy enough to google NPK of fish hydrolysate. This snake oil works because I see it working in my garden. Keep adding Miracle Grow if that's what makes you happy.
Great explanation.. thank you 🤍.. my question is .. what's wrong with sulfured molasses?.. i ask because i cant tell if the molasses i buy has sulfur or not... It's not mentioned anywhere on the labels of the products available to me
Thank you! Other types of molasses have a potential altering the pH and that could affect how your plant uptakes nutrients. Unsulfured molasses is sometimes marketed as black strap molasses. Same exact thing.
@@OutdoorScienceDad makes sense now.. thank you for the quick response 🤍. I used what i have and i think it's working ??🤔🤔... Some fish scraps have completely disappeared.. the whole thing has some sugary sweet smell in addition to normal fish odor. it's foaming and bubbling a little.
Can you keep the solution os fish and mollases out doors in the winter or put in a seal container it will no tburst the lid
I wouldn't if it got to freezing or below. I have forgotten to "burp" the lid and it has not burst, the lid just pops up a little.
How long is it shelf stable once finished
Good question, with an answer I do not know. The longer I have it the more it seems to break down and smells less so it almost gets better to a certain point. I use it for my garden every couple of weeks so it hasn’t lasted more than two or three months.
@@OutdoorScienceDad
It will last long time and get more potent if you leave it in for longer
After few months it won’t smell
After longer than few months it will smell very sweet
@@Eezzy108 awesome, thank you
Made a couple batches this year,one came out ok,but the other stinks horribly and it has been going since early May,not sure what happened with it,a bear got into once,but was able to salvage it,then bugs would eat through cloth and had to put new cloth on it.Kind of afraid of using at this point,not sure if it would be good to use or not,when i say it stinks,it smells horrific,when in past i made this,it always eventually lost its stink and mellowed out
I bet your plants still like it! Even bad results can be beneficial. Everything is a learning lesson.
Dog's nose knows! 😤🐕
LOL, his nose is in everything I do
Man catfish does not break down like Salmon
Bummer, what other fish do you have access to? Crappie, sunfish? They seem like they'll break down easier.
Yeah I'm European so we have Those and other Native species Catfish Sunfish Are not Native But I'm pretty sure the reason for the thing to not break down as fast as because it's the size of a 10-year-old@@OutdoorScienceDad
I could smell stink just by watching the video oh my God
LOL, i swear it isn't as bad as it looks
no such thing as king salmon. you live in some fantasy world where you get to make up names for things already named. you sir are the King Of Fools
Yay, I am a King! As another fool who doesn't know king and Chinook salmon are the same thing, you should show more respect to your king. Thanks for watching!
What a weird comment
And you are the king of assholes
