Thank you to Dr. AV Singh for presenting an impressive and informative webinar recently for The Organic Council of Ontario . We have had several requests for the presentation in its entirety. We will be providing key points over the next little while. Let us know what you think.
What makes good soil? Every grower knows its basic properties: apart from mechanical support of a plant, good soil stores nutrients, ensures air and water movement, and provides a home for beneficial microorganisms. Soil structure can be improved by adding organic or inorganic amendments. While the organic portion makes up only about three per cent of most natural soils, well-amended garden soil may contain 30 per cent or more organic matter. The most common organic amendments, such as compost and manure, have been around for ages. With increasing interest in organic products and sustainability in agriculture, the search for new ways of farming is on the rise. Organic additives, like fish compost, blood meal, biochar, kelp, and worm castings, have become increasingly popular, but have you ever heard of such an exotic substance as Black Soldier fly frass?
Calamari is an extremely popular appetizer around the world, but have you ever wondered what happens to the leftover squid after the tastiest parts are collected for use as a deep-fried delicacy?
You might be surprised to discover that it is processed into a 2-2-2 liquid fertilizer concentrate and marketed under the name ‘Squid Juice’. Greenflow Canna Corp, based in St. Catharines, Ontario is the Canadian distributor.
Effectiveness of Squid Hydrolysate as a Home Lawn Fertilizer
American Society for Horticultural Science
"Consumer demand for cleaned squid generates a substantial amount of waste that must be properly disposed of, creating an economic burden on processors. A potential solution to this problem involves converting squid byproducts into an organic fertilizer, for which there is growing consumer demand."
This 2-2-2 NPK liquid concentrate, known as 'Squid Juice,' is a sustainable all-purpose fertilizer made from Squid by-products after being fished for Calamari consumption. Seaborn repurposes the waste product and processes it using a low-heat hydrolysate method to create a 100% organic plant nutrient. 'Squid Juice' promotes crop and soil health, giving plants what they need to thrive. Proven results for any crop from trees, shrubs, fruits, vegetables, cannabis, and more.
