Dear sir, i am an Aquarist. I have a fairly large aquarium of roughly 350 litres, anyhow to my point,
I recently purchased gelatine capsules size 0-0, the idea is to fill them with slow release fertilizer which has all trace elements, nitrogen, phosphorous minerals and metals etc that plants need and to submerge them near to the plants roots. My question is this and i could find no definitive answer, are gelatine capsules soluble - regards Robbie.

gelatine is disolving in water. Depending on parameters like pH and temperature (as well as salt seawater or freshwater) it takes differently long. The power tip would be not to fertilize too heavily.

The post that was quoted here has been removedAt 14, I was helping my 26 year old brother clear a lot for the house he was to build and came across a clutch of quail eggs that I took home and with a light bulb, took 14 of 15 eggs to hatching. They followed me everywhere, until we put them in a back yard open pen and they gradually went off to who knows where, probably local cat tummies.
Every kid should have a chance at this, sadly, fewer and fewer do.

The thing is, they were fish. Fish don't feel. They're not like a dog. I love dogs.

Originally posted by HandyAndyI just realised what eating crow meant, its being humiliated after taking a strong position, so sad that a vegetarian like myself must be made to eat crow regularly! Never the less, I resent the idea that farmers are slow thinking which seems to have formed the basis for this American colloquialism and its not just in America that 'country folk', are maligned', in India there is a special term for those that hail from villages, Pindhu! and its derogatory as well!
