 Question asked on the radio show: Someone on a Facebook group recently suggested that I use a fish hydrolysate for my potted plants. I have fish emulsion, is that okay to use?
NICK answers the question like this on the radio: Great attempt at trying to pronounce that word. I’d pronounce it hydrolysate. Fish hydrolysate and a fish emulsion are two different things yet they are both used for fertilizing plants. One is better than the other. Fish emulsion is what is processed after the fish has been used for food then they'll make oils out of it, make up and other non-essential things. It's cooked down for all those products into a sludge which hammers most the nutrients out of it. Fish hydrolysate, on the other hand, is made after they use it for edible purposes usually making fish fillets and is a cold process that retains higher nutrients. If you visit Dramm.com and follow the consumer links to their Drammatic Organic Fertilizer they have information that talks about it in detail. My vote is for the hydrolysate. Comments are closed.
