Make fish fertilizer out of your carcasses

I've been successfully fermenting my old fish carcasses into high grade garden fertilizer. This stuff is amazing in your garden, it is expensive to buy and then you'll never know what was in it. This way you can use 100% of the fish you harvest, get the best free fertilizer, and you'll know exactly what is in it and where it came from.

Thanks for sharing.  Will try this with my next batch of rf carcass, hopefully before July 2023

I am going to try it and leave that golden bucket near my fav neighbor fence.
 

Have you tried it without Molasses?
Just water and carcass.

At 3 weeks

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing! I run garden programs for several elementary schools and I think my older students would actually get a kick out of doing this.

For a very special neighbor, instead of molasses, you could try mole asses…

Fish fertilizer is the best...gotta have a strong nose though. I've also been making seaweed fertilizer which I think could do wonders alongside fish fertilizer.

I’ll be doing this
Awesome and thanks

I have quite a few halibut carcasses in my freezer from this year, fish stock or fertilizer? [emoji848] I bury my carcasses underneath where I plant my tomatoes each year, add a chunk of sheet rock and a few aspirin and the vines go wild.

Need to get one of those 30 or 55 gallon drums.  Has anyone run this process with an aerator in the basin?

I have been doing this for years. I have 2 big stand up freezers in my garage. I keep 2 5 gallon buckets in each freezer.  I will cut the fish carcasses up in small chunks and put them in one of the freezer buckets throughout the year. I even collect some kelp each time out. Rinse it off good and lay it on top of the soil. Kelp is great for the garden and keep slugs and snails off of your plants. If I don’t use the fish carcasses for crabbing I will dig a hole in my garden in late fall for composting. I only put one bucket worth of fish and bait scraps in per month and mix the compost pile up once a week. During winter the smell isn’t out of control and you will have the best compost for all the new plants in spring. I have 0 waste that gets put into the trash from fishing.

that lid is cool

I wonder if this would work with crab as well?  most of the crab waste seems like it's shell?

Thank you for that info! I didn’t know about this way of making compost. I’m definitely going to try this.

I’ve been following this recipe for years now, works great.  https://www.unconventionalfarmsupply.com/homemade-fish-fertilizer
