USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thanks to the help of Squanto-a Native American whose extinct tribe once farmed on the land now occupied by the colonists-they grew a new sort of corn that they called “Indian corn.” Squanto showed them how to plant dead fish with the seeds. This turned out to be quite an effective fertilization method.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fill the bucket halfway with equal parts fish and sawdust, add a cup of molasses, then add enough water to cover the ingredients. Mix the fish, sawdust, molasses, and water together until thoroughly combined. Seal the bucket with the lid with holes to allow airflow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fish fertilizer is made from whole fish and carcass products, including bones, scales and skin. Rather than let unusable fish products go to waste, these items are converted into nutrients for the garden. Different types of fish, such as menhaden and anchovies, are ground into a slurry.

Detailed explanation-4: -Combine ½ ounce (14 g.) of fish emulsion with one gallon (4 L.) of water, then simply water the plants with the mixture. To get the most benefit from using fish fertilizer on your plants, apply the mixture twice per week.
