Warning

Content: This helps protect roots and give them a nutrient boost. Apply to more mature growth in the spring as well when their growth is more active. Make your own fish emulsion by boiling leftover fish parts in a large pot with just enough water to cover the waste. Liquidize it in a blender, and use this mixture as you would commercial fish emulsion. Use Fish Waste
Bury fish guts, heads and other parts in the garden near plants or trees that need an extra nutrient boost. Place the fish waste at least a foot below the soil to discourage wildlife and pets from digging it up and try to avoid disturbing the root system. Feed sensitive and hot weather seedlings, such as tomatoes and peppers, with a teaspoon of undiluted fish emulsion when you transplant them. Bury a dead aquarium fish in a houseplant instead of flushing it down the toilet. Make sure the plant is out of reach of other house pets. Compost fish waste in an outdoor compost heap by burying the fish at least two feet deep in the compost pile.
