What are some uses for skimmate

[enzo]

Any ideas? I was thinking to use it in my garden as fertilizer.

How about a mud mask for a facial? :p

Actually, I think it should be a great fertilizer. I may start dumping mine in the garden. Should be high in NO3 and PO4 which both should be good for plants.

makes great stink bombs!

Hum. My soil in northern Florida already smells worse than the skimmate, but it lacks all the nutrients. Perhaps I'll start dumping it all over the garden. Good call!

Not sure how the plants would react to all the salt in the skimmate. It could create a concentration of salt in certain areas which might be bad. Although it might create a salt lick for all kinds of animals to come up to.

Good thought! I never thought about the salt being carried over with the skimmate. Could be a problem.

The Salt would be disasters to your garden! Don't use it on any plant.

If you spread it around your property.it will keep Vampires away, along with everybody else.

I have seen it used to kill weeds in a flower bed.....other than that, not much use other than to gross out the wife and kids :)

I would have thought the salt would be bad for plants as well. I've never tried it though.

What will kill the plants? The salt or the skimmate or both. Because you can remove the salt by either drying it first or strain out the water. Either way it will leave behind a small amount of salt, but I'm still not sure.

It was suggested to me to dump some back in my system to help increase my nitrates, something I have not yet done.

No way I could do that!

I know I'm very hesitant to do that... But I would rather see what that does before using something like SpectraSide stump remover.:confused:

Me to I'll pass on that.
