Benefits of a fish-based compost

A fish based compost provides protein feedstock and wood based components provide carbohydrate feedstock to stimulate the culture of microorganisms.

This process is csimilar to the culture of cheese, yoghurt and wine, for example. All of these products require specific feedstock and ideal environmental conditions to stimulate a culture of desirable microorganisms to produce an intended end product.

The fish component of fertiliser can provide:

  • Natural, organic (derived from living cells), and chemical-free
  • Fast-acting fertilizer that supplies nutrients quickly
  • Effective for an instant boost at the start of the growing season
  • Suitable for a wide variety of vegetables, flowers, trees, and crops
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • Prevents root burn associated with many chemical fertilizers
  • Stimulates microorganisms in the soil
  • Single fertilisation lasts 4-5 months
