Fish Hydrolysate
Overview
Fish has been used as a soil fertilizer by Native Americans for thousands of years. Fish hydrolysate continues this tradition using by-products of modern fishing industries. The high protein content provides nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil and also serves as a potent food for soil microorganisms. 5 gallons or less ships UPS ground. Larger quantites ship via freight only.
1 quart - $13.00
5 gal - $73.00
Fish hydrolysate is cold processed (minced, enzymatically digested and liquefied) to preserve proteins for quick turnover by microbes into nutrients for plants. This process distinguishes fish hydrolysate from fish emulsion which is processed with heat; removing oils (fungal foods) and denaturing nutrients and beneficial bacteria. Hydrolysate retains the natural oils from the fish that are a very potent fungal food.
Because of cold processing, fish hydrolysate must be stabilized at a low pH. We recommend hydrolysates that are stabilized with sulfuric or phosphoric acid.
