This article is an excerpt from one of Blue Demon's original theories

the "Three-Step Method for Growing Roses" series

Yesterday Blue Demon shared the methods for using several common solid organic fertilizers, and today Blue Demon will continue to share some knowledge about organic liquid fertilizers.

When it comes to organic liquid fertilizer, the one most people are familiar with should be soybean cake fertilizer water. Because in most articles teaching flower-growing techniques, cake fertilizer water is mentioned.

So what is cake fertilizer water?

Soybean cake fertilizer water is fertilizer water made by fermenting soybean cake with water. Soybean cake is soybean residue, and it can also be replaced by the residue cakes left after pressing oil from sesame, rapeseed, and so on.

Soybean cake, rapeseed cake, sesame residue cake, and the like, after being fermented with water, are all very good liquid organic fertilizers.

What are the main nutrients of soybean cake fertilizer water?

Whether it is soybean cake or rapeseed cake, after fermentation, the fertilizer water obtained contains a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer. In other words, cake fertilizer water has nitrogen fertilizer as its main nutrient element.

Of course, it also contains phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, as well as some trace elements, but the content is relatively low, and it is mainly nitrogen fertilizer. It is suitable for use on flowers at the seedling stage.

After understanding cake fertilizer water, let us then look at the characteristics of fish gut fertilizer water.

What is fish gut fertilizer water?

Fish gut fertilizer water is made by fermenting fish guts, fish scales, fish gills, and the water used to wash fish.

What are the main nutrients of fish gut fertilizer water?

Fish gut fertilizer water contains a large amount of nutrient elements such as phosphorus and potassium. In other words, fish gut fertilizer is an organic fertilizer mainly based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Why use fish gut fertilizer water for roses instead of cake fertilizer water?

Our rose flowers bloom a lot and have a long flowering period. Throughout the entire growing season, they bloom almost every month. When nutrients are sufficient, flowers will bloom as soon as new buds grow.

Based on this characteristic of roses in growing and blooming, during the growing period roses need to consume a large amount of phosphorus and potassium elements. Because of the many flowering times and large flower quantity, only when phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are sufficient can roses bud flower buds well.

So we use fish gut water rich in phosphorus and potassium elements to topdress roses.

When Blue Demon says here that fish gut fertilizer water is rich in phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, it is relative to cake fertilizer water. Fish gut fertilizer water has a high content of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer elements; it does not mean that fish gut fertilizer water contains no nitrogen fertilizer.

In fact, the greatest advantage of organic fertilizer is that the nutrient elements it contains are rich and comprehensive; the difference lies only in the proportions.

Seeing Blue Demon say that fish gut fertilizer water is so good for roses, do you also very much want to use it? If you want to learn the method of making fish gut fertilizer water yourself, please continue to follow tomorrow's article.
