Fertilizer Doom!

Thread link (godlikeproductions.com)

OP:

Went to local nursery to buy Potash, Blood meal and some starter plants. No Potash all back-ordered don't know when more will come in. Owner has 400 acre farm last year fertilizer for 400 acres cost 65k, this year they can only afford to plant 40 acres because it will cost 36k for fertilizer. The farm is in south NJ, if this is nation wide you better be buying food and starting your own garden now.

They eat kind of anything, including the algae that forms in your pond. Generally, it's always going to be something less volatile than fertilizer

  1. Cents a lb running average is pretty good. Likely less concentrated in nutrient than pure fertilizer though. Besides I think tilapia is trash, what is the food conversion ratio for them? Also looking into fresh water shrimp, though the breeding looks tricky.

Maybe not the most nutritious but you can trade talapia for chicken, eggs, beef, whatever.

I would go with whatever is easier to farm.
