The Hot Pepper

oh, i need to try your recipe!

can trout bought at whole foods work? What does trout have? beneficial bacteria?

Well its one of the best things for microbes and nutrients. Especially considering you can go Aact, emulsion, and hydrolysate all with the same batch of carcass! First I run the bubbler, after day two use that, then the transitions into hydrolysate begin to really break the fish down into a delicious feast for the soil food web and plants. High in N, high in P, high in K! As well as all the enzymes that break down bone, cartilage, and scales for cal! Its awesome. A messy job but s...

where do you brew it? does it attract animals?

In the back yard. If you're doing it right then every animal and their mamma will be very interested...lol At first the aact phase smells more like beer, then it gets really nasty...lol

yeah my aact's smellsnice and earthy but i was just thinking with decopmposing trout might get a little gnarly smell wise and esp after a few days! LOL might have to test find a spot that it out of reach of critters!

For the aact I use worm and kelp with it too. As for just hydrolyzate, its just the fish and left over gunk stirred everyday setting in the hot sun with a lid.

ok cool! so you dont bubble it after you use up the aact?, just the leftovers in a bucket baking?

Yep. I super charge my soil web first then bubble more till the aact colonies begin to dwindle, then begin feeding the soil web with the composted/baked hydrolysate. Plenty of ways to go about it. You can even keep adding water, and teaing with the siphoned off water.

Some people compost into char or sawdust. I use water.

thank you fo the insight!
