Greetings all.
Dear Doc Elaine,in a reply to a question on fish emulsion you suggested that
fish oil would be more fungally suitable.I have now managed to get some from
one of the large fishing companies.I am waiting for more info from them but
it smells like cod-liver oil from when I was a kid.My question is how much
should one use safely.I know that this is a piece of string type question
but we were using 2.5/3 liter of fish emulsion without blowing the DO2.Could
we then use as much fish oil,perhaps?We have about two and a half times the
water volume of air, available at the diffuser so we have fairly good
aeration.Typical reciepe used to be 20 lt compost ,10 lt castings,2.5/3
liters of some or all of the following,molasses.humic acid,soaked kelp
flakes,and Seagro, a fish emulsion.This is on 1200 liters. Will the fish oil
also cancel out the sunflower oil used to control the foam now?
Please please please tell us that you are trying to get a lab going here,in
South Africa .Without you guys any other tests are meaningless.All we do is
check the smell and see the results.
Or at least tell us that you will be coming back soon :-))

Mike Benton
