Making Fish Fertilizer AKA Fish Hydrolysate

I hope you enjoy this one. It was filmed back in the summer of 2023. It's a DIY on building fish fertilizer from scratch!
Building fertility in the soil can come from many different inputs. If you have fish as a local resource, making fish hydrolysate may be an option for you. It takes a couple of hours to collect, macerate and start the fermentation process. After some time you have a valuable soil amendment without stinky rotting fish!

I can't believe folks don't know that fish guts is the best fertilizer you can use! I guess us old country folks should have been selling this year's ago

I have never say it done like this and never heard of putting sugar or using a blender 😂. We just dig our holes and put a shovel full of fish guts in the whole.

fish hydrolysate is naturally acidic. maggots won't feed from it.

@@amitsingharoy6724 ive never had an issue with maggots. I get the fermentation going using saurkraut and sugar, never any maggots, the airlock prevents any flies from getting in.
