Great information! After years of gardening I have come to realize how much I was missing the mark for a thriving garden, Your videos not only explained how to make the necessary changes, but also explained why these things are necessary for the plants. This weekend I am getting mulch from a client after doing drywall and landscaping. He is also teaching me how to clean his pond which I can have as much of the pond gold that I would like. Needless to say, I am very hopeful that these will help with my garden for compost as well as for mulching the raised garden beds, and ind ground planters. My mindset has had a definite shift from a survival mode to Thriving. Thank you and your family for sharing such helpful information. Thrive on my friends.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I'm happy you are here my friend and thriving with us!!!

Pro tip- use fish during their spawn time. The fish eggs and sperm have a lot of fatty acids and lipids that will take it to the next level.

[@charinabottae]

Apparently you are presumimg those 'ingredients' didn't already exist within the fish before the fish formed the gametes. That makes no sense.

[@PeteGA]

@@charinabottae When the fish is making eggs it has to consume more of those “ingredients” to make the eggs than if the fish is just sustaining itself. Therefore a higher percentage of the overall mass is amino acids. What do you not understand?

[@charinabottae]

@@PeteGA Pete, if that was the case, the op would have said there would be *more* fatty acids and lipids. The clear inference is the presence of something otherwise absence from spawning fish. By your logic, I could simply add more fish to make up the volume of what a spawning fish would consume, and that again renders the op as pointless as it's just about the mass of the fish. What is missing is 1) the op's validation of the "pro" tip as having any data, let alone logic, and 2) your failure to see that.

[@PeteGA]

@@charinabottae A fish without eggs has less lipids and amino acids than a fish full of eggs. What is wrong with you? This isn’t a Reddit forum for you to be a neckbeard “um actually” 🤓 loser on.

[@PeteGA]

@@charinabottae And you know what? You’re just wrong and obviously don’t understand what he said. He said “the fish eggs and sperm have a lot of fatty acids and lipids” that doesn’t mean the fish doesn’t also have fatty acids and lipids. He was just making the point that the eggs and sperm have those “ingredients” at a higher percentage by mass. So no, adding more fish doesn’t give you the same percentage of fatty acids and lipids because eggs and sperm have a higher concentration. Therefore, a batch made with spawning fish will have higher concentrations of fatty acids and lipids. If you’re gonna be an annoying Reddit nerd, at least be technically correct.

Real brown sugar has been rare to extinct where I live, so I now make my own... One cup of organic cane sugar to about 1 1/2 Tbsps. organic unsulfured blackstrap molasses. You can mix by hand... takes a while, or use a stand mixer. I get the sugar from Costco and the molasses from my local health food store. I'm 80 years old this year, and when I first made this a year ago, I was in heaven... this was the brown sugar of my childhood... it is soooo good on oatmeal.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

That sounds wonderful and I wonder if the consistency is about the same? I would just be a little bit concerned it would have to high a moisture content for this extraction process

[@garthwunsch7320]

@@gardenlikeaviking One could simply use less molasses or more sugar.

This method of extracting bio available nutrients from fish is actually so clutch.

[@AneesMuhammed-mb4qz]

Thanks nate. If you can find the papaya, add the papain from the papaya to the solution. It will enhance the process

[@ronquando3088]

I think that might be considered a different process if you do that. Just like if you use Lactic acid bacteria to do it. Those are digestive enzymes as well but then it is hydrolysate and not fish amino acid. But it’s still good but FAA is supposed to be better

[@myownspiritlevel]

I’m sure there are lots of redheaded “Nates” of Scandinavian decent who are avid, dare I say survivalist gardeners, who have beards and that exact haircut (currently). 😂 You’ve given me good tips. Here’s one for you: zucchino rampacante. It’s a curcubita moschata that grows prolifically, is squash vine borer resistant, produces zucchini-like squash when taken young, and matures into something like butternut squash when left on the vine to harden off. They have that butternut squash hardness and color. They’ll easily grow to over three feet if you’re not careful. Still tastes and cooks like zucchini. I have several hardened off squashes from last year in a closet. Still edible and pretty good, although after almost a year, they’ve gotten a spaghetti squash texture (oh bummer) and have lost some of its flavor. You can completely neglect them, and they’ll still produce long into summer. They are nutritious, too. The ultimate survival garden plant.

[@artthompson6461]

Nate, love your show and am in the process of starting to use it. Just got some land in North MO to start on. I have been accumulating alot of the required equipment. Here is my question. Could you please make a video on how to store, how long to store, and where to store our liquid fertilizers? Maybe even produce a cheat sheet for how to store, where to store , and amounts. Heck i would even buy it. Thank you my friend.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

thank you my friend and yes I will put that in the works and see what we can come up with!

[@JodiForzani]

I love that you say things like ‘osmotic pressure’. It makes me feel like a mad scientist when I’m making these potions. Sooo much cooler than buying fish fertilizer at the store. I forgot to collect leaf mould last fall for use early spring. The ground is covered with a good couple feet of snow so I’m not getting any anytime soon. Won’t be making that mistake again this year! Can I start this and add leaf mould later or is it only worth while at the beginning?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

yes my friend we are all mad scientist here!!... if you don't have the leaf mold its ok just omit that step and it will still work just fine!

[@tracyart1389]

Nate Love your show and plan to us as much of your system at i can this year on a new garden site in Northern MO. I am in the process of making as many of your fertilizers as I can.

Hello everyone i have a question can you use worm castings instead of leaf mold thank you have a great day

[@dorothyfu7540]

Questions: can you use fish bones, or only entire fish? Can you use canned fish? In this video did you use 2 bags of sugar or just 1? How much liquid (litre or quart or whatever) do you expect to get from your mixture in this video? Is this shelf stable? Can this solution be kept for several years if I don't use it up in one season? Will the bones also dissolve, is there any residue in the end?

[@dorothyfu7540]

[@jilltompson2306]

@@dorothyfu7540 I agree with your view on kindness. But, perhaps roncozad4108 was pointing out to you that 'avoiding redundant questions' was "kind" because it meant that you had thoughtfully respected the time of someone who had already very generously given theirs? I respond because you rang a bell ... I recently experienced abuse from an individual who responded to being caught thieving with the same response you did - his claim was that we the victims, were being "unkind". It was either purposefully disingenuous or there was a peculiar pathology at work. All the best to you and roncozad4108 😉

This is a great video. Well done and thank you. I have a quick question. I have a comercial meat grinder would it help to run the fish and maybe the sugar through the grinder together to get a better mix?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

not for this brew it will not be helpful... this is a slow digestion and we want it that way... everything in here will totally liquify on its own except a handful of bones.... if you want to use the grinder watch my video on fish hydrolysate and use the grinder and it takes only two weeks!

From what I'm lead to believe if its left for a long time everything including the bones will have been chewed up.

I am new to gardening and love your videos, thank you. I also have a question. I live in fare west Texas in the middle of the desert and have no access to leaves of any kind, so no leaf mold for me. What other types of things could I use? I know you mentioned that you could just leave it out, but if there is something else that I could use instead. More nutrients the better, I would think, maybe, not sure really. Thank you for your time, have a blessed day.

[@garywillow6578]

Worm castings or insect frass or both; diversity is always good.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

If you don't have the access to the high-quality leaf mold it is OK to just omit all together and only use the sugar and the fish it will still work wonderfully

[@neychie9025]

Thank you

[@dorothyfu7540]

Hi Nate.... and everybody else who has tried this FAA: Has anybody tried this? I tried 2 small batches, and Oh Boy was it ever MESSY to strain out the liquid... the second was worse than the first... (I made a mistake with the first one...) I kept thinking there must be a better way. So this is my suggestion: first insert the fine mesh strainer/paint strainer inside the container you are going to use, then add the fish and brown sugar mixture as usual. After 1 or 2 months or whatever, gather the mesh strainer and lift it up and out of the container. Pour out the FAA into a separate container. Put the mesh back to continue the process. This sounds a more proficient method in theory. I am going to try this next.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I don't think you waited long enough for the digestion to happen because my FAA is almost all liquid by the time I strain it out... a simple mesh strainer is totally sufficient... let me know how the paint strainer works for you because yes in theory it seems ok but in practice not so sure!

[@jimrobinson7441]

OMG, all the chocolate chip cookies that forfeited their lives for this video! :)

[@timshirk6261]

Do you have an experience with using liquified fish guts and mixing it with molasses and letting it ferment. I assume the sugar is what keeps the smell down plus speeds it up while making for a well balanced fertilizer and less or no sugar would take longer and be higher in nitrogen when complete plus it would stink just like any high nitrogen manure

[@annettearellano9482]

Yummy fish

[@ltuerk]

@GardenLikeaViking if the fish is less than fresh, and has started to smell, will that cause problems with this process? We used 7 pounds of fish 3, of which had started to turn, and added 9 pounds of sugar with your layering method. FYI, we found mackerel at a large Asian grocery for $2.50 a pound! All parts sliced easily into “coins” with a serrated knife.

[@Ronelbey]

Hello Nate, can you use some worm casting instead of the leaf mold?

[@Argles_Organics]

Just my opinion, yes. Especially if the worms have been feeding on good quality leaf mold!

[@gardenlikeaviking]

if you've got some very high quality castings from worms fed a fungal rich diet then yes that can work... its just a small dusting on the top thats all we need to introduce the microoganisms... you can also omit that step completely and just use the sugar and fish that still works great but smells more intensely

[@Morad-il3ud]

The best type of fish for making organic fertilizer is sardines. I saw a farm in Saudi Arabia using this method .. 1 kg sardines + 1 kg white sugar + a small cup of lactobacillus bacteria (you can make these bacteria at home).. Regular fish fertilizer must be added with iron fertilizer because the percentage of iron in it is low, but sardine fertilizer has a high percentage of iron.

[@joelizon8888]

Hey Nate: I've been faithfully applying your knowledge but as a "New B" I've produced each of the fish ferts you suggested then found this video. I have 5 gal fish hydro, 5 gal JDAM fish liquid fert (slow version) and now I learn that FAA is tops. I'm just a back yard organic gardener with now more fish ferts than I can use. Please suggest a "best path solution" so as to not have fish ferts wasting space. I don't have much space. Thanks for being so responsive.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

ok my friend with the two you have already made there's no need to be making this version this year!... just use the two you have and they are also fantastic and you will see amazing results with them... use them every time you feed the plants especially in the first half of the season and you'll have amazing growth... foliar feed it to them once a week or so

@gardenlikeaviking Nate, how does temperature effect the process? Should i be keeping the bucket in the sun w the JLF's? or stored out of the elements, like in a barn?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

this does best kept in the 70's or at least in the shade.... its not the same as the JLF's so we do not want to keep it in the sun because the process happens too fast and it goes a bit rancid... below 70 is fine it just takes longer to happen

[@user-nj4tu9sr2n]

Did you add any water to the sugar and fish mixture?

Sorry to ask this question because you suggest brown sugar but before I discovered you I procured a large amount of molasses. Is the brown sugar so much more advantageous than molasses that I should now purchase brown sugar? I really want this to work. Thanks for all your work.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

for this solution is MUST be brown sugar as the molasses will not give us the osmotic pressure we need here.... but don't worry there's a wonderful use for that molasses and I'll be making a video on that in a few weeks

[@gardenlikeaviking]

there is a reason its done this way actually if we blend it (I've tried) then it doesn't digest the same it all happens too fast and the mixture goes more rancid... doing it with whole fish or at least fish chunks and scraps produces a much nicer product that literally never smells rancid the whole time!

Aloha from Hawaii! Has this ever been done with substituting the brown sugar with a very sweet fruit like payaya? Hoping to find something local instead of buying imported brown sugar. Our papaya is abundant and very sweet. Good enzymes in the seeds too.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

you can certainly make other things with the papaya but it will not work for this particular concoction because we need the osmotic pressure from the brown sugar to extract and digest the fish proteins and papaya will simply not do that at all

Are you still using JLF or have you started mainly using aerated compost teas for you garden or do you utilize both?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

last couple years I've been perfecting the aerated teas and I don't use the JLF's anymore for several reasons but mostly the smell is just too off putting for neighbors and has been attracting rodents... the aerated teas I use still have this FAA in it as well as several other potions... we'll discuss this today during the live stream

My friend, can you give me information about sugar? Possible use anything else, maybe white or coconut sugar?

If I go to a local forest and grab some leaf mold how long would it last in a 5 gal bucket?

What’s keeping a farmer from doing this same exact thing. But with a chicken, cow parts, pork parts, squirrel, rabbit, or deer ya know? Please get back to me! Love the videos , and if you can test it then I love you 3000

[@gardenlikeaviking]

you can do something similar but fish is the only thing to use with this sugar method... for red meats its best to hot compost them or place into a barrel with the leaf mold and water like in the other fish fertilizer video I made... it definitely works great just takes a lot longer to digest than fish does

[@virgilioselwynancheta6875]

thanks for the information...but how's the pH? Jadam tend to do away with sugar or molasses due to resulting pH on the acidic side?

[@gardenlikeaviking]

I never worry about the ph of anything anymore because in a living system it balances out via soil microbiology around the rizosphere… plus this mixture it diluted 1000x which makes the ph not very impactful at all

[@virgilioselwynancheta6875]

thanks a lot...now i am better informed... @@gardenlikeaviking

What would the npk be on the three different fish fertilizers?
