Biodynamic preparation - Fish and seaweed emulsion

How to make

Content: It is made from seaweed, fish and the BD compost preparations 502-507.
Storage: It can be stored for extended periods of time in a plastic container in a shady place.

Reasons for use

Aids the general fertility of the soil.

How to apply

When to apply: It can be applied at any time during the year on regular intervals as part of your garden fertility plan. You could also use it strenthen new seedlings in your garden.
Quantity: 2.5-5mls per 10 lites of water
How to apply: For a small garden, you can flick it out onto the garden with a horse hair brush from the bucket. For a larger space, it would be best to use a backpack sprayer. It has quite a strong smell, so I suggest having a good layer of clothes on to keep the smell off your skin and hair.

This preparation is not so easy to make. I suggest buying it from a local Biodynamic association, see our BD Resources page for a list.
