The weather in my neck of Arizona is getting really nice…
It’ll pretty much be like that from now until May. I figured I’d put my recipe to the test, since I’ll be fertilizing soon.
My mixing bowl:
My tools:
The trowel is for mixing everything. You can use your hands, but I recommend some rubber gloves, since the fish emulsion is strong, even if it’s deodorized.
All the dry ingredients went into the bowl. I used a small cup that holds a little over 1 cup of dry ingredients. I used one scoop of ingredients for every part, so it was about 7 or 8 cups of dry ingredients total. Once everything went into the bowl, I used the trowel to mix it and added a little of the liquid fertilizer at at time until the mix feels like oatmeal.
Scooped into the tray, a little less than an inch thick:
(My son took the last two photos vertically 'cause he couldn’t stand the smell!)
I use the plastic spatula to score the mix in the tray. The scores help the mix dry faster, and makes it easier to cut into cubes.
Leave them somewhere inaccessible for a few days until they dry. I’ll let you know how they turn out!
