Fish Scrap

But instead of farmyard manure, or in addition to farmyard manure, various other substances may be added, as bones, flesh, fish-scrap, and the offal of slaughter-houses. ❋ Charles Morton Aikman (N/A)

A very considerable variation in the amount of phosphoric acid occurs for the reason above stated, the guano made from fish-scrap being naturally much richer in this ingredient than whole-fish guano. ❋ Charles Morton Aikman (N/A)

As fall-sowed oats have of course a longer growing season, the nitrogen can be supplied by well-rotted manure, blood, tankage, or fish-scrap. ❋ Frank Lincoln Stevens (1902)

But Georgia land cannot be covered with fertilizer made from Illinois corn, nor even with seaweed and fish-scrap from the ocean. ❋ Unknown (1892)

On land where fish, fish-scrap, or guano, has been used freely for some years, and the crops exported from the farm, we may expect a relative deficiency of potash in the soil. ❋ Joseph Harris (1860)

Superphosphate can be made more economically from mineral phosphates than from bones -- the nitrogen, if desired, being supplied from fish-scrap or from some other cheap source of nitrogen. ❋ Joseph Harris (1860)

With this, he can use artificial fertilizers to advantage -- such as fish-scrap, woollen-rags, Peruvian guano, dried blood, slaughter-house offal, sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, etc. ❋ Joseph Harris (1860)

On the sea-shore fish-scrap is a cheaper source of nitrogen, and may be used instead of the nitrate of soda.” ❋ Joseph Harris (1860)
