We have managed to source some cheaper seconds mulies for $2/kg – see photo. Much more cost effective!
So we have put 15 x 20kg boxes into a 1,000 litre pod to make a fish hydrolysate plus water, molasses and the base culture.
The ones that were made on farm with David Hardwick used a minced up burley block of Mulies which have gone well and I couldn’t find any left over fish heads or bodies in the drum after giving it a stir.
The seaweed hydrolysate however isn’t really breaking down. So must have put too much seaweed in to start with. Have spoken to David and he suggests to split these in half and top up the base culture and molasses.
The other BioFert P + micronutrients mix we did looks ready to go. It only bubbled for probably a week. Was looking to spray it out but alas the spray unit has a blown seal.
Have also made two new brews one being a potash predominant mix and the other a trace element mix.
Still no results to talk about yet but will hopefully get the first brew sprayed out this month.

It’s all a bit fishy!😅

A quick update – the fish bodies have all broken down with only the bones still around. Needs a stir every few weeks to help keep the process going which gets it bubbling again for a day or two. Smell wise it’s not sweet but it’s not like awful rotting fish either – just slightly unpleasant on the nose. Not to bad for 6 weeks of fermentation.
