Some powdered fish fertilizers are made from species specifically caught solely for this one purpose. I'm particularly wanting to hear anything more about the fish species being used. Be aware as well that some conventional ag companies spike nitrogen levels in so-called hydrolysate products.Ĭhime in with your experiences. Most growers understand that we are not talking about 'fish emulsion' which lacks the oily portion and has been pasteurized. I've had the opportunity to use the Dramm product and it seems equally rich. I order from Organic Gem as a pallet load of four barrels ships from relatively nearby in the Northeast. Price point certainly matters and that often comes down to shipping costs. And then there's Pacific-Gro in Washington that promotes the higher quality oils found in wild salmon coupled with crab and shrimp remnants to add a 'chitlin factor' to its fish product. I've heard Brown's gets a charge of ocean species as well but haven't confirmed that. Brown's in North Carolina utilizes rainbow trout but I suspect this might be farm-raised fish (fed gmo soymeal). Dramm and Schafer's in the Midwest utilize Asian carp, an invasive species determined to reach the Great Lakes. Neptune's Harvest and Organic Gem are both out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and utilize unwanted species caught in trawling nets, primarily dogfish shark. The filet may have been removed but the oils are still intact. I recently gave this answer in addressing the question are all cold-processed fish sources the same:Ĭold-processing of whole fish is the key to a biological product. Two points relevant to a discussion about liquid fish hydrolysate are cost effectiveness and the fish species involved.
