Fish Hydrolysate – Fermented Fish Fertilizer



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.

  2. ☝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. πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ’²πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸŒπŸŒπŸ€‘πŸ€‘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! πŸ€¦β€β™‚πŸ€¦β€β™‚ Salmon smh, what next? Lobster? Alaskan Crab?

  3. 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

  4. 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.
