Fish Fertiliser/Hydrolysate

3 parts water (4.5 kilos)

1 part fish. (1.5 kilos)

molasses, sugar or honey (500g)

Lactobacillus and or kefir water/milk two tablespoons ( I used both)

Chop fish up into small pieces so blender can process the bones and skin depending on type of fish being used.

Blend fish with sugar and water.

Pour into an airtight container and stir in lactobacillus

Cover and let sit for 4 to 8 weeks (speed of the process is faster in warm temperatures)

Place container somewhere where the smell won't gas everyone (mine is on the roof)

Depending on type of container being used you may need to open and vent from time to time to release gasses and stop container from exploding.

The stuff will smell absolutely foul while its processing, but once the process is complete, the smell is similar to vinegar, wine, or beer or to those familiar to baking like a mother/starter yeast.

Once the fertiliser is ready, strain liquid through a sieve to remove pieces of bone, scales and skin that survived the blender.

Bottle the liquid for storage.

The bottles will need to be opened/vented in the initial month to ensure the process is over and to vent any residual gasses if it's not quite over
