Skimmer Scum...

[timo]

So what are the actual componants of the green juice we all trash everyday?
Could there re-useable things here? What about as a plant fertilizer? Organic, to boot!
Well, just a thought. Let's hear it!!!

I'm looking around the house now for a willing houseplant to "volunteer" for this experiment!

the only thing I could think of about that would be adding something from an ocean enviroment to a land enviroment. They never coexist in nature so something bad could happen. Let us know cause I am sure it would be a good fertilezer.

Oooohhh... Does the salt fractionate?

Sorry! You should NOT feed skimmer waste to any plants!! The salt content will kill them. No, I have not tried this, but I have a BS degree in Horticulture and Plant Pathology and am quite sure that this would be the result. Very, very few plants can tolerate any salt. I think that this subject did come up on a previous thread and someone had tried to give this to a plant and it died. If not for the salt I think it would be good.
