Is there not a hydroponics system that relies on fish in the water the plant roots are immersed in?My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

Oh, I think it's something to do with turtles poo being like bird poo as they are somewhat related and bird poo is supposed to be not good for you, so turtle water with poo won't be safe either.... I'll shut up now!...You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...

As for bird poo being bad for plants, we used to spread hundreds of tons of it on our farm without problems, and i use chiken manure pellets in my garden now.
There was one local farmer who fell into a lagoon of poultry poo and drowned, so it didnt do him much good however.Last edited by Bill HH; 06-05-2015, 09:06 PM.photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.html

I don't think I'd use either on my vegetables. While fish water may be fine, I'm not so sure about the turtle water. I have 2 semi aquatic turtles and apart from the fact that turtles can carry salmonella they are also well known to carry a whole host of other bacteria and parasites. I consider my used turtle water to be unsafe and am wary about cleaning them out with open wounds etc, I'm careful not to splash it about and wash my hands thoroughly after I've had any contact with the water. It may be safe but I personally wouldn't take the risk.Remember it's just a bad day, not a bad life 😁

I seem to be out on a limb where all this heath and safety, or concerns about disease are concerned. half my life was spent on a poultry farm, I was covered in chicken manure on a regular basis, even ate my sandwitches with it on my hands. Our immune system requires regular challenges to keep it in tip top condition and in my case it got them.photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.html

I think it's slightly different when it comes to our native species. It's widely known that horse manure, pig poo, chicken cack etc are good fertilisers. Turtles on the other hand are a tropical species and not much is known about how safe the dirty water is. We don't know about the general health of the animal or diseases carried, so we can't just assume the waste is safe to use on plants. Just as you wouldn't use dirty water out of a drain or sewer. Would I use it in my garden? no. If I kept chickens would I use their fertiliser, more than likely yes.Remember it's just a bad day, not a bad life 😁
