fish can be surprisingly beneficial for more than just food! Here are some creative and practical uses of fish in gardening and other areas:
- Natural Fertilizer for Plants
Fish parts (like heads, bones, or scraps) are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium, essential nutrients for plant growth.
How to Use It:
Bury fish parts or whole fish directly into the soil at the base of your plants. As the fish decomposes, it releases nutrients into the soil, feeding the roots.
Fish emulsion (liquid fertilizer made from fish) can be diluted with water and used for quick nutrient boosts for plant
- Boost Soil Microbial Activity
Decomposing fish encourages the growth of beneficial microbes that improve soil structure, nutrient breakdown, and plant health.
Tip: Cover the fish with enough soil to prevent pests and odors.
- Compost Booster
Fish scraps can be added to compost piles to speed up decomposition and enrich the compost with essential nutrients.
Tip: Layer fish scraps with brown materials (like dry leaves) to balance the compost and prevent foul odor
- Fish Hydrolysate (Fish-Based Fertilizer)
Fish hydrolysate is created by grinding up fish waste and turning it into a liquid concentrate rich in nutrients and amino acids.
It’s ideal for:
Promoting root growth in plants.
Improving the yield of fruits and vegetables.
