If it smells bad I’ll just add more leaf mould or compost, will see how well it will work. Try to balance the nitrogen with carbon.

I hear burying whole fish down deep can be very effective

My local hunting partner is a full blown fishing addict.

He plants all of the frames from the fish he catches deep in his garden.

That has to be the most lush garden I have ever seen.

Cheers

Yeah I’ve stuck it in the compost pile in the bottom the microbes decompose it pretty fast.

The liquid will just be more versatile and a little bit goes along way, I am
Also on a bigger lot so not really an issue to put it out back in the yard or shed

I can’t even compost here because we get bears daily from April to October basically. I’d have way too many attractants. I’d rather them in the neighbours backyard than mine.

I only compost stuff from the garden, grass clippings, leaves ect, not kitchen scraps

It’s been two weeks since I’ve started this, it does not smell, had it in the garage, shook it around and it still smelled like molasses and a bit like soy sauce/fish sauce

Rats have become a problem for Sidney and the peninsula again. Ever since the poison that works is NLA at the consumer level and the inception of the compost programs.
Rats are all through the stores, The stores have to box all their consumables in plastic bins at night, including candybars, chips, etc. Grass seed, bird seed...etc.
