Hey Everybody. I work at a salmon hatchery and we compost our dead fish. Now today I took some of this compost that was done last year and mixed it about half and half with peat moss. My plan is to pot a couple plants to put out by the door when it warms up a bit. I guess I'll get some perlite and/or vermiculite and add it to the mix before planting in it.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has used homemade fish compost for their plants, and if so, is there anything else I should add to the mix to get it ready? Also, would I even need to use any plant food in this rich mix, and would this stuff be too potent for my weed? I'll be growing White Widows in it, if that makes any difference. If there is anything anyone can think of that's not covered in my questions, any and all info would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
