- Organic Pest Repellent
The smell of fish fertilizer can deter certain pests while attracting beneficial predators like earthworms.
Fish emulsion, in diluted form, can also boost plant immunity against pests naturally.
- Indigenous Planting Technique
Native American communities traditionally planted fish with crops like corn and squash to fertilize the soil naturally. This method ensures healthier, nutrient-rich plants.
Why is Fish So Effective in Gardening?
Fish is packed with macronutrients (NPK) and micronutrients, providing plants with long-term and sustainable nourishment.
It’s an eco-friendly and natural alternative to chemical fertilizers.
Tips for Success:
- Bury Deep: Always bury fish scraps at least 12 inches deep to avoid attracting animals.
- Use Fresh or Waste Parts: Heads, bones, guts, and tails are perfect for soil enrichment.
- Balance Nutrients: Combine fish with compost or mulch for maximum benefit.
By recycling fish waste into your garden, you not only nourish your plants naturally but also reduce food waste! It’s a win-win for sustainability and gardening success.
