Being prepared and prepping needs to happened now! There is a fish fertilizer shortage in my area and more than likely it’s coming to your area too. Be prepared and learn how to make homemade fish emulsion 2 ways. Zone 7B
***Recipe for DIY fish emulsion:
1. Buy or catch fish
2. Add fish to a high power blender
3. Add water in a 3:1 ratio. 3 parts water to 1 part ferment material (fish)
4. Blend until it breaks down
5. Add molasses about 1/3 the amount of fish and blend again
6. Add 2 tablespoons sawdust, blend again
7. Blend until you get a very liquid solution
Next pour into a clear container and loosely cover. Let it sit for 3/4 weeks, check to see if it has stopped bubbling and doesn’t smell much.
NOTE: ALWAYS USE NON-CHLORINATED WATER. Chlorine kills microbes. Simply let your chlorinated tap water sit for several hours, allowing the chlorine to dissipate.
Try not to use cane sugar since it is chemically bleached. Raw(unrefined) sugar like muscovado is best. Preferably use molasses.
No need to seal, because the container will explode as CO2 (gas) is released during fermentation.
To use add 1 tablespoon per gallon of water, mix well and add to your garden as you normally would.

Thanks for sharing. I never realized the water from one can of sardines could go so far either.
Container Crops this tip is 🔥 and so I will add to it. Use crushed egg shells, 🍌 peels and coffee grounds. This is also a powerful plant food in which most people have on hand. So folks from thees two ways you can still have a productive garden💯
Thanks Container Crops for an awesome video and a💣 way to feed plants that's🔥. BLS🌹🤝❤️💯
Thanks for sharing this information! I plan to follow your instructions to make some fish emulsion. I just bought some and realized that the cost has increased a lot.
Farmhe💜rt you BROught this🙌🏾 Spitting 💎 💎 This video will save folks alot of money. 😄Exploded fermented fish juice ain't cool. Making it this way will better give my plants 🪴 some awesome fermented probiotics.. We can catch a fish right from our pond. I appreciate you too💜💜
Thank you for the information. The first thing I would’ve used was tap water.
THANK YOU PAM!! I WAS THINKING ABOUT MAKING MY OWN!!GREAT ADVISE !!
Hello @Container Crops ❤️❤️❤️ you are SO inspiring 😉
Interesting, considering that the cost of fertilizer is going up! Thanks.
Great information! Thanks for sharing this 💚
Thank you ❤️ great information 🍉🌽🌻🍓🫐🍅🌶️🍊
Hi Pam!! I’m listening…I’ve been in the yard and garden all day. It’s beautiful here in Zone 6a Michigan. Just gorgeous day!! My yard looks so pretty, and my containers garden is just beautiful too….I’m glad I bought some three weeks ago, but I’m listening how to do this. Thank you!!
Fantastic video!! Ty!! ♥️
I love sardines too, but I’m having trouble finding them in water? Theirs plenty in oil, but no water. It’s fine…I’ll be on the hunt!!
I have another way to make it. Buy feeders from a pet store and add to my rain barrels, free poop and they eat mosquitoes larvae. Love your suggestions too, excellent research. 👌
Fantastic video Sis nothing else needs to be said
Did I miss the recipe?
I could not find the recipe for making the fish emulsion. I would love to have it. I love your videos. Thank you
Awesome ! Thanks bunches
This was awesome , cause free is always is for us 😆 we definitely have fresh drum we caught in the freezer. ! Warning lol 😆. Yes loved it will not stank. I eat sardines so not sure they gone last but the fact I can use the water is very cool 😎 Peace Love and Light #blessings
Very helpful, thanks for sharing. 😊
I need to hear this; thanks so much!!! WARNING!!! lol Appreciate you!!!
Thank you for the information
Pam, You are SO adorable! I love your sweet and joyful way of sharing. I can't wait to try these tips.
I live in hot Southern California. Which translates to water shortage! So unfortunately no rain in the rain barrels for me at the moment. . And water always coming from the outside tap and whatever I can save from general use. Question: Am I harming my crops then by watering straight from the hose? Should I fill a container with water and wait for the chlorine to subside? I can't believe I just found you on youtube and I am excited to be a part of this community. God bless you.
How many molasses to add?
Also u said 1tbs to a gallon but store bought emulsions is 2tbs to a gallon for veggies, 4tbs for trees, and 1tbs for container plants…soo what would I use for the homemade one
Hi Pam… I'm new and just wanted to send garden love 💚
I buy the agricultural molasses it's much better. On Amazon
We make 5 gallon buckets of it but we also put it on 4 acres. Put a spickit on the bottom for getting it out and drill a hole in the top that a fish bubbler hose will fit in and slide it in but not to the liquid and put the other end in water no smell. Cut up fatty fish and mix it up good and put it in a paint strainer we spread it with a sprayer and atv.
