You had me up until cheap white sugar. Obviously, finding the best muscavato / Demerara is tough and expensive. There are like 10 levels of sugar above plain old white sugar thays stripped of neary all the beneficial minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. At minimum id suggest whole foods or Sprouts brown sugars. Sourkraught is a good idea! Id use hime maxe LABs that is just a rice wash mixture (dechlorinated h²O) with a few steps and milk tonget the lactobasillus. Howd it turn out?

Yeah, not the best choice but most gets converted to lactic acid so I’m not worried. Access to some things here is limited and expensive unfortunately. It turned out as it should. I’ve used this recipe for many years and have used 25-30 gallons. If you have access to better sugar I’d recommend it. For us we have many inputs for our soil. We use compost teas, compost, manures and sometimes kelp if accessible so I’m not worried about micronutrients. It’s all about context really and using what you have access to.

[@TheHomesteadatFlatrock]

fish hydrolysate is naturally acidic. maggots won't feed from it.

@@TheHomesteadatFlatrock but in my pot full of magottos with bad smell..

[@TheHomesteadatFlatrock]

@@amitsingharoy6724 ive never had an issue with maggots. I get the fermentation going using saurkraut and sugar, never any maggots, the airlock prevents any flies from getting in.

I can't believe folks don't know that fish guts is the best fertilizer you can use! I guess us old country folks should have been selling this year's ago

[@Mary-kw5wh]

I have never say it done like this and never heard of putting sugar or using a blender 😂. We just dig our holes and put a shovel full of fish guts in the whole.
