    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! ❤

    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 😂

    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...

    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!

    Hi Weedy!!
    Im in Nambucca Heads, so glad to know we are basically neighbours 😂
    I make my own greek yoghurt regularly and I keep all the whey that is drained off and put it in a jar in the fridge. Some goes to my chooks as a healthy snack but I was wondering if I could be using this to make my own fertiliser? Everytime I make a new yoghurt I throw out the jar of whey that doesnt get used and I refill the jar with fresh whey.
    After watching all your Lacto B videos Im thinking I could be throwing away a great garden resource. Also, I cant really afford to buy bulk molasses, so is there a way that I might be able to use the whey and maybe some brown sugar to create a garden fertiliser?
    I grow many bananas on my property, hubby loves his freshly ground coffee and I live not far from the beach with access to seaweed so Im thinking I have all the ingredients here and just need to know how to put it altogether.
    Thank you for your amazing and inspiring videos. Hubby and I love watching them!!

    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…?

  • @happy-v8h
    @happy-v8h 7 місяців тому +3

    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.
