Hydrolyzed Fish Fertilizer In the old days it was accepted by mainstream that chemical fertilizers were better than organic. The thought of organic fertilizers brought up images of smelly bags of manure or the BAD smell of fish emulsion products. Organic fertilizers today are just as good or better than chemical options and you have the added benefit of being friendly to the environment. The hydrolyzed sounds so complex but it is just a process to best turn fish into fertilizer. The old method “fish emulsion” is a heat process that destroys a lot of the nutrients and totally destroys the amino acids. It also produces a fish fertilizer that stinks very badly. This is bad for the nose and once it is in the ground you are likely to have critters digging up your plants trying to get at the smell. Hydrolyzed Fish Fertilizer is far superior: The word Hydrolyzed means it is has been cold processed. The advantage of cold processed means that all the nutrients are saved. The benefit of this is your plants get a fish fertilizer jam packed with nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
Hydrolyzed keeps all its nutrients and proteins and allows them to be readily available to the plant. It also makes those nutrients water soluble, so you can use them for foliar spraying or drip irrigation, with no worries of clogging. Because it does contain many minerals, it helps to keep the soil balanced and, in fact, improves soil quality just like an amendment.
