Abstract
A system and a process for the production of a totally organic soil enhancement material product which includes waste byproduct from fish farming operations and common soil microbiology prepared and delivered in a carefully controlled process which greatly increases plant health and growth while simultaneously reducing the need to apply synthetic chemicals for nutrients, pests and disease.
Claims23
A method of producing a soil enhancement material comprising the steps of:
- placing one or more aquatic species into at least one growing tank containing fluid;
- feeding said one or more aquatic species a formulation that is high in protein and capable of forming consistent indigenous fecal microbiology;
- passing said fluid from said growing tank through a filter for removal of suspended particulate;
- directing said suspended particulate matter to a particulate reservoir holding tank and the remaining fluid to a filtered reservoir tank;
- mixing a predetermined portion of water from said grow tank with said suspended particulate held in said filtered reservoir tank to form an admixture;
- sampling of the admixture for COD, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorous, Total Potassium and presence of pathogens;
- adjusting the admixture to an acceptable value by blending additional filtered fluid or other materials or additives which are further conducive to growth of any added microbiology and/or plants;
- decontaminating said admixture and placing into a container for shipping and distribution;
- recirculating remaining fluid from said filtered reservoir tank to said grow tank.
A method of producing a soil enhancement material for use in growing fruits, vegetables, crops, or turf grass that meet certified organic production requirements comprising the steps of:
- placing farm fish into at least one growing tank containing fluid;
- feeding said farm fish a certified natural organic formulation that is high in protein and capable of forming consistent indigenous fecal microbiology;
- passing said fluid from said growing tank through a filter for removal of suspended particulate, said filter separates and removes a biomass of solids, semisolids and/or some dissolved solids from the fluid;
- directing said suspended particulate matter to a particulate reservoir holding tank and the remaining fluid to a filtered reservoir tank;
- mixing a predetermined portion of water from said grow tank with said suspended particulate held in said filtered reservoir tank to form an admixture;
- sampling of the admixture for COD, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorous, Total Potassium and presence of pathogens;
- adjusting the admixture to an acceptable value by blending addition filtered fluid or other materials or additives which are further conducive to growth of any added microbiology and/or plants;
- decontaminating said admixture;
- placing said admixture onto roots of fruits, vegetables, crops or turf grass.
A system for cultivating aquatic species or for producing a soil enhancement material comprising a plurality of tanks, wherein the tanks comprise at least one grow tank, an optional transfer pump or gravity flow for use in passing water through a filter for removal of suspended particulate matter to a filtered reservoir holding tank.
