any crustacean meal will have a relatively similar NPK. i agree, rinse, dry, crush. nothing else needed to be done.
Shluby - when crabs die they give off a toxin I believe that kills other crabs. Wonder if there is any boiling process that needs to happen. Was wondering if you use the legs also or just the back shell of the crab? Also to prove that it has the same NPK I was wondering if I should send a sample away for testing?
I think the shell comp just goes with it being made of the same material... chitin. there may be some slight variance in NPK, but probably not enough to worry about. also, those toxins will be washed away. crab shells are very dense, and likely would not absorb that toxin, and would easily be washed out IMO. I'm just speculating, but can't be far off. I would use whatever shell you have. it's all made of the same stuff!
crush it run it thur compost pile,they got stuff around me its called surf an turf,ground up lobster shells an cow shit cooked for 4 months great stuff
LOL love that product name!
Any suggestions on how I could crush the crab shell down small enough on a medium to larger scale?
No idea.
ninja blender!
probably ammonia, all organic beings give off ammonia when they decay.... ever tried sniffing the bleach bottle, or wait too long to clean out the kitty litter tray?
