    Easy money with fish water

    Well looks like I got a new little revenue stream lol my buddy just started trying to garden for the first time. Flowers in pots and all. Well she was having problems with them not doing too well and brought her some water from my aquaponics tank and told her to mix it in her flowers waterer. My aquaponics tank water is full of various nitrates and what not from the fish and plants LOVE IT ! Well I get a text from one of her friends asking if I can sell her some of this "magic fish water" because she wants her flower to look like my buddies. Well next thing ya know I got a couple different women texting me asking how much I charge for a bottle !This keeps up imma need to get a second tank lol

    Extra Special all organic natural concentrated house plant supplement should go for $8.00 per liter (quart). It's all about marketing.

    After checking my 401k I have a question. In a couple of months when you can afford it could I hire on as your driver? I can drive that stick shift Ranger no problem.

    Wonder what the shelf life would be? Set a bottle aside for a while and see what happens. If it's still good after a year, bottle and sell it.
    See me for other great consultation tips....

    Too cool.
    You don't have to look for a job here. A job will find you if ya let it.

    Those folks probably don't realize any area lake or pond is also full of the magic fish water.

    Well done Wolfdog91!
    I am trying to start down that path. I have the greenhouse kit that needs to be assembled. After many months of waiting, they finally poured my concrete slab three days ago. I won't be in competition with you selling magic potions to little ladies as I am putting a raised bed garden in downhill from the greenhouse.
    I see you went for gold fish. I intend to start with mosquito fish (Gambusia Affinis) and then move on to bluegills. I have some of the IBC totes like yours and I also have some food grade stock tanks.
    Once my concrete slab cures (My concrete guy said one week!) I can start assembling the greenhouse and moving the tanks into position. My intent is to separate my tanks into four separate systems. My raised bed garden will use cinderblocks stacked two high. My back is gonna be sore! The payoff will come later. Fresh salad all winter and some vegetables to go with it and lots of produce in the summer months.
    I will have some composted sawdust trucked in to bulk of the soil and improve drainage. I have also began collecting the grass cuttings and leaves to compost. With this first pile, I will just rototill mix it and add it to the sawdust that goes in the bottom of my raised beds and then I will till it again after adding topsoil. A little natural composting can take place under my plants for a start. I realize the composted sawdust will have little to no fertilizer value.
    Once the truckloads of sawdust are delivered, I can have my neighbor plow my chosen area and then I can rototill it. Maybe I'll just till it.
    I also have some spaghum peat moss to add. I got it before the local store ran out.
    The fun starts soon!

    I hear tell if you are famous enough, you can sell your own bath water! I have been told there are women on the internet doing that very thing now! I think they're on snatch purse or some such site, any way thought you may want to try this as well?

    Danged good idea ... and market it as Green - All Natural - No Chemicals - Bio Safe ... or whatever the terminology is that bunch like to see .

    I remember my dad making a liquid fertilizer "tea" out of composted manure water and maybe epsom salts or something like that and pouring it on his tomatoe plants .
    Fish manure in water... should be awesome fertilizer .

    When I still did a garden I had a half barrel of water out where I clean fish. All the scrap would go in the water to brew, heads, skeleton, guts, skin, fins. It made the best tomato food ever!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Don't forget to label it! All containers must have warning labels!
    no animals were harmed
    100% post-fish waste
    100% recycled
    100% organic
    100% natural
    sugar free
    gluten free
    salt free
    contains no preservatives
    made in a facility that processes nuts
    probably causes cancer in CA
    (most important) Made in the USA.

    We are going to need fish poop, phosphate used to come from russia.

    Now you just need to add packages of "magic beans" to your product line!

    Your water is probably NOT salt free. Most fresh water has some salt in it. Not enough to taste but some salt. Probably has other things in it that in quantity would cause problems.
    Thats the stuff that makes it work.

    I have a 15x10 pond full of healthy breeding goldfish. Great idea for the water.
