The fish emulsion fertilizer gives the plant the right organic matter nutriment they need for growing strong and healthy. It also acts as a bug repellent.
Although extracting this organic fertilizer is laborious, it is very easy and economical to use it once you have placed it in bottles.
The fish emulsion contains a lot of oil, making the fertilizer to be viscous.
Therefore, it is important to make sure that you shake the fertilizer vigorously before using it.
Follow these procedures to prepare the homemade liquid fish emulsion fertilizer for watering.
Step #1: After extracting the fertilizer, ensure that you use one tablespoon of the fertilizer in one gallon of water.
Since the fertilizer is very concentrated, diluting only one spoonful in each gallon will give the plants all the nutrients they need.
Step #2: make sure you use a garden hose to flash the contents that remain stuck on the spoon. You should also make sure you use a watering can when preparing this mixture.
To distribute the contents evenly, fill the watering can with the garden hose at high pressure.
When you notice foam or froth forming at the top of the watering can, it means that the contents are thoroughly mixed.
Step #3: Step 3 involves preparing the funnel applicator as well as the watering hole. Cut the top of a used bottle and take the funnel-shaped end.
Create a watering hole by using a metal rod or a thick stick. The hole should be around three inches. This watering hole will help you to focus the solution on the plants without causing spillages.
Step #4: Place the funnel applicator on top of the hole and press it down to keep it steady. Gently pour the solution from your watering can. Repeat these steps to water all the plants and trees in your garden.

Instead of throwing the eggshells in a trash bin, you can use them to improve your garden.
The eggshell packs calcium and other nutrients that plants need for healthier growth.
Here are some of the ways you can use the eggshells in improving your soil
Use the eggshells as fertilizers: You can use the eggshells to add calcium to your manure soils.
You do not have to worry about grinding or sterilizing them since they decompose very fast.
Another way of using the eggshells as fertilizer is using them directly into the bottoms of the planting holes. Distribute the shells in your garden during the winter and incorporate them by tilling.
During the summer, the eggshell will have already decomposed and released the necessary nutrients.
The eggshell also acts as a pest deterrent: Sprinkling the coarsely crumbed eggshells around your plants will keep the snails and slugs away.
