Fish meal fertiliser/solid fish hydrolysate

Post by GBarb »

Anyone that’s has been looking for a fish hydrolysate or a fish meal based fertiliser, Charlie carp have come to the party and deleivered big time.

100% hydrolysed fish, in a pellet form

I’ll be top dressing my trees with this but I’ve also just used it in my fungal dominated compost tea batch I have on the go. It is an excellent fungal food, bacteria don’t mind it either.

Hi Gareth,

I've posted about this before but do you have any opinions on this product?

Listening to Ryan Neal's original podcast on soil science they were discussing the benefits of fish hydrolysates, humates and cold pressed seaweed extracts, and this product has all three. Would this be more bacteria friendly than fungus? I did notice after using it that toadstools appeared under my benches.

Matt.

For an wast to use all in one this Rocks!!!!!

However, there are time when you will want to seperate the application of these elements.

Kelp is actually a brilliant bacterial food despite popular belief (have you listened to the worm casting Mirai podcast I did with Ryan?)

But in general, this would be awesome.

For a more targeting application, especially for a tailored fert regime, ESPECIALLY if foliar feeding, I would get the compoenents separately (and use worm castings as the humate/fulvic component of course)
