FREE FERTILISER FROM THE SEA: Making plants powerful using seafood scraps.

Learn how to create Homemade Fertilizer from Ocean Treasures! In this video I share a unique fertiliser mix which Nick Davies from www.farmforcefield.com.au has shared with me.
It`s simple! All you need is:
3kg Seaweed (kelp is best). You can get that in powdered form if you don`t live by the sea.
Fish bones or "fush bones" if you are from NZ
Prawn shells (shrimp shells if you are from the USA)
Sea water
Fresh water
Unsulphured or black strap molasses
Lactobacillus Bacteria - See how to make THAT here: • HOW TO MAKE SOIL BACTE...

Some organic tea farmers in Japan are using seafood scraps as fertilizer, like Lotus Island Tea Farms.

Great video! I bought a bottle of Nick’s brew last month when he came along to speak at the Grafton Garden Club 😊

Some of us in Aus enjoy watching Jacob Knowles,the lobster fisherman, in Maine. He is interesting, funny, informative, like Weedy.

You can make a foliar 6:22 spray from the molasses, fish fertilizer, and seaweed. 4litres of water, 1 tblsp of fish fertilizer(you could soak your fish bones in the 4 litres first overnight before you bury it) 2 tbsps of mollases and grind up a bit of seaweed to liquid a handful. You spray your plants 6am or late in day till they bloom, do this twice a week. You will be amazed at how fast it grows. Squash , zuccini, everything. Happy planting❤🎉❤ if you grind up oyster shells for the garden soil it will boost your calcium. Or in Okinawwah they use coral to boost the calcium in their gardens. Just some tips for you.

[@aminzakaria4166]

Seems so intresting about oyster as well. So wish to let the weedy garden show us to get along with that as well.

[@suzishealthyhome8678]

I LOVE that you share all the secrets and wisdom of people. I've been looking for this info for ages

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Glad it was helpful!

[@neils8443]

Nice one Weedy, thanks for the hot tips and entertaining vids 🤙

[@wemuk5170]

Unfortunately this cannot work for us as we live by the forest and the foxes come out nightly to dig up anything that smells like food or fish! They even had a go at my recycling bin’s empty fish cans.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

by the time this is ready I don’t think the fox will go for it

[@karenvillarroel3478]

Great! Why don't you mix all three instead of keeping them in separate buckets?

[@TheWeedyGarden]

You could, but when a plant is young, it does not use all the stuff. When it fruits, you use the prawn juice. You could. It is a good idea, but this is designed to follow the moon cycles. Try to see on his website

[@katz5434]

That’s brilliant!

[@AaronDwyer]

Since I don’t live near the beach - I would like to buy it instead of make it. 😊

[@DonnaHennig]

So...I have access to everything but the molasses. I do have sugar cane growing but no grinder, could I just chop, say, 1 kg sugar cane pieces i to each bucket i stead? Thanks. Please keep up the great 'work" you are doing, it is the best!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

If you can’t get molasses, use RAW sugar

[@UllricLex]

Thanks for the knowledge. 12:20 😂😂😂

[@cheezy1969]

May I ask where you buy your Molasses please.?

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Norco or any store they sell animal feed, or a health food store or Woolworths in the sugar isle

[@daleireland]

[@ausfoodgarden]

Are you allowed to gather seaweed up there? Down in Melbourne, we can gather a small amount of beach-cast seaweed in some areas, but we are meant to get permission first. They say 2 shopping bags worth. There's a fish cleaning station about 15 km from me so that parts covered. it certainly works as a garden booster. Cheers!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

I didn’t ask. Where I get it, tons of it wash up every day onto the beach

[@jessicaheger1880]

I'm in Florida and i gather sea weed all the time. I use it directly as mulch and also add to my compost pile and mix with my sandy native soil for potting plants as well. If it's free, it's for me! ❤

[@kaidouglas7278]

In Florida too and will definitely start doing this! Thanks for the tip!

[@TheSunnyTrails]

Could I use the lactobacillus culture from YAKULT the milk drink for kids? It seems to be a good kickstarter unless you’re concerned about something in the yakult Cheers mate!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Maybe someone can answer that

[@TheWeedyGarden]

The LAB only has Lactobacillus bacteria. I can’t say what anything other than that contains 😊

[@34Calvin]

Hah, when I was a kid and my parents took us to the beach it was to collect seaweed! They used to wash it in the garden back then before shoving it thru a mulcher and digging it into the garden… this has brought me a lot closer to understanding why they did that… thank you. I’ve been getting the fish guts and bones from friends in the previous town we lived in, but now we’re in proper country - only the shops have fish 😂

[@CoconutInformation]

Radical, looking fwd to see how it turns out! Please post an application follow up video :)

If you are near some of our large freshwater rivers like the Murray or the Murrumbidgee then i imagine one could use carp as the fish source. So easy to catch and considered a pest in our waterways

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Certainly

Feels like you just made a version of SAUERKRAUT for your garden 💚🦠🌱 Thanks Weedy for the inspiration and knowledge you share. Recently made my first batch of sauerkraut, now for a big batch for the garden I am dreaming up. 🌻

[@aaron6315]

Nice one Weedy ❤. I made a around 100L of Fish fertiliser from fish guts, water and humus, gathered underneath an older acacia. Got quite smelly this time. I filled the strained liquid into 5L Plastic bottles for easy handling later on. Luckily the Neighbours are seldom there (i'm storing the containers near to their property). Last summer they kept on searching for dead animals in the bushes. Smelly business but the plants love it. Luckily the smell is nearly gone 24 hours after applying the diluted fish fertiliser...

Awesome video weedy. Would love to see a bucket reveal in 3 months time to see what it looks like when it’s done. Is there a possibility of getting the end product under a powerful enough microscope so we can see what “gazillions of bacteria” looks like??? Maybe compared to just usual rain water…?

[@GiveitaGrow]

Salt will kill your plants. Fish bones have lots of phosphorus.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

This amount will not

[@GiveitaGrow]

I wanted to specify because you made it sound like sea water was good for the garden. Salt is good for controlling "bad" bacteria.

[@johnthumble5154]

I dont think nick invented that container.

[@TheWeedyGarden]

That was a slip of the tongue. You are right. He “uses” them I should have said.

I've got a 60 litre bucket with absolute foul-smelling seaweed fertiliser. Fish heads, guts, bones... and ooooooh my, its on the nose...phew 🫢🤣
