Amino acids come from any living organism combining sugar and protein. (Office Hours Ep. 83, 35:35) The library gives the method for fish waste. Drake would apply the same steps to your scraps.

  • Mix scraps and brown sugar 1:1 by weight. Fill the jar 2/3 full. (Cho, Recipe, p. 49)
  • Skip IMO. It eats the fats and oils, and lacto forms on its own to preserve the ferment. (Office Hours Ep. 96, 34:41)
  • Keep it cool and shaded, out of direct sunlight. (Cho, Recipe, p. 48)
  • For fish, wait 3-6 months. (Office Hours Ep. 124, 24:32) It is ready once fully liquefied and keeps improving for up to three years. (Office Hours Ep. 126, 37:57)

Go easy when you apply it. Too much fuel causes overgrowth, obesity, and pest problems. (Office Hours Ep. 41, 1:08:13)

Cho describes blood serum lactic ferments sprinkled on the pen floor as a nutritional drink for adult birds. (Cho, Theory, p. 141)

The library has no blood meal recipe. It says nothing about chicken brains or guts by name.
