@@Michael-zn2jc I applied a second round today. I put 2 tablespoons to 2 gallons of water. I watered each tomato plant with a gallon and the cucumber plants got 2 gallons. My peppers got 1 gallon as well. My brother swears by this stuff and sends me pics of his garden. Amazing result's.
I just bought a bottle of this and figured I should educate myself on using it. Came straight to TH-cam and found you and now I feel armed and ready! :) I had a horrible time this spring with my lettuce seedlings... none of them grew taller than two inches... so I'm going to start over with heat-tolerant varieties since it's almost summer. And I'll be sure to use this and only 1 TBSP per gallon. I'm going to subscribe for more gardening tips. Thanks!
Thank you so much Colleen! I really appreciate it! And yes, it does wonders for seedlings. Good luck with the lettuce and thank you again for your support! Best, Sasha
Very good information. I took notes before using it. I received 2 peace lilies from my dads funeral I want to make sure they survive. Also trying to save a Bromeliad I may have sun burnt
Fish fertilizer is the best! I have corn growing right now. I have 62 plants, aside from the rest of my garden. I own two little Beta fish each in a 1 gallon bowl. I change their water and put the waste directly under my corn. My corn gets a good burst of energy just from 2 little fish who poop lots. 👍😉❤
Just bought a bottle about 3 weeks ago and I am using it for indoor plants and using it with rainwater will keep you updated in a few weeks also great video,thank you.
LOL, I feel badly when I pull up seedlings/pups/babies too. I have been known to dig thru the trash or compost racked with guilt to replant with many apologies said.
I been using that stuff since the 70s. But they make a kelp, fish, molasses product that is even better than that. And if you add some humic to that your plants go nuts.
My Zucchinis leaves are like huge huge huge and I have over 12 or more zuchnnis growing in just 1 month or 2 of planting them. I used this on my garden and yes its very very good stuff. I also use it on the Grapes 1 in 1 month or every 2 months. Avocados love this stuff too.
Hi, I use different brands of fish and seaweed (kelp) fertilizer and its good stuff. The last time I used Alaska products, the label said to use 3-TBS per gallon and its too strong. Through experimentation, 1 TBS/gal is the most I will ever use. Often times, I mix 1-TBS in a 2-gallon water can and foliar feed in the evening every 2-3 weeks during flowering thru fruit set and my vegetable yields are crazy.
Hello, yes, I agree. 3 tbsp is too much; I use 2 at the most depending on the plant. I am glad your garden is doing well :) Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment! Have a great weekend! Best, Sasha
Nexington Caldwell 😊 There are some disappointments some times... I learned a lot of things the hard way gardening here in Arizona 😊 Thank you for watching 😍
I use a combination of stuff on mine, including this. I also use this stuff called root ruckus. Which is humic acid, kelp, and myco. Then, I use the alaska fish fert company's bloom booster on anything that is a heavy fruiting plant. For my lettuce I use fish and guano at a low dose.
Great clean video pesentation! Like another person said, the before and after really help. I just got some for my yellow leaf kumquat with foliar drench so I hope I get your results. Thanks.
A little tip , molasses helps the root system to pick up nutrients in the soil and prevent burning the roots . I use shredded alfalfa and molasses that i get in 70 lb bags from the local feed store for 20 dollars , it is normally fed to farm animals with dental problems . I cover the soil about 1 inch depth and this also helps retain moisture and protects surface roots from dying , it also breaks down and adds more nitrogen to the soil . My tomato plants were 13 feet tall last year going for 15 feet this year .
@@AnOldSchoolHome quick update, all my crops are growing wild especially my greens, my strawberries are fruiting non-stop. But I switched to balanced fish and kelp fertilizer 2-2-2 as soon as I have flowers to stop the leaves growing. 🤣 My kales, collard greens, mustard greens are ginormous. Thanks to this!
Or you can go fishing and use the head and whatever else you don't eat in your garden. My dad always went fishing and used it in his garden and all the Veggies and Trees and Bushes we awesome and also produced lots of fruit/veggies...Just some FYI if you love to fish and I do :)
Hi Diana! Yes, I love fishing... However, now I'm in Arizona and the only fish I catch is from the store :) There are a couple of lakes here, but it is so crowded, it's not even fun :) My dad used to do the same thing back when he had gardens. Thank you so much for watching Diana! Best, Sasha

Thank you! I added that disclaimer because the stems of some of the plants got burned. And I am not sure if I caused it by mixing the two... but just in case :) Thank you for watching RJ :)))
Not true. My elderly neighbor used it when I moved in beside them. We both organic gardened, same soil obviously, but I didn't use it my first year. His plants blew mine away. Next year while still not being fully convinced, I did epsom salt on 25 plants, with the other 25 plants not getting it. The results were amazing. The epsom salt plants did better in every way. More fruit, better heat resistance, just plain better.
I learned before I actually put the fertilizer on the plants like this I will lightly water around the plant with regular water that way the ground is wet around the plant and now the fertilizer can go deeper and then about 20 min later I lightly water it again and it works amazing… so I lightly water wait a couple min the fertilize then wait a couple min and light water again and it saturated the ground without diluting anything
@@tracyrenee9 Hi Tracy, I hope you don't mind if I butt in on your question. I don't recommend watering in the day time just because I don't want my leaves to burn from the sun. Just follow nature's way. You rarely see rain while its sunny.
I mix fish emulsion with half-strength seaweed extract. Seems to work fine for me so far. Careful with things like beet though since they will grow more leafy at the top with smaller bulbs. They need more P & K than N. The leaves are also good to eat though.
I’m never sure of just how much of the mixture to give a plant. For a 5 gal container would you give it enough to saturate the whole container or just cover the surface and let it deep in? I also use Dr. earth 4-6-4 with the fish emulsion. I’m using it on zucchini right now. I don’t see a lot of flowers, especially females. It did produce one good size so far. Another didn’t pollinate. I hand pollinated, my fault, I’m a bad husband. Lol.
Dr. Earth is the best fertilizer in my opinion. I stopped using the fish fertilizer a couple of years ago because I just got tired of dealing with the smell. Dr. Earth works perfectly. Thank you for watching!
I think the Alaska fish fert is a two part program. The other part is MorBloom. The fish fert doesn't have hardly any P or K. The MorBloom has P and K, to be mixed at time of application. during Veg stage mix with Nitrogen heavy mix. For flowering mix more MorBloom in the mix.
Lots of people use this for growing weed back in the day. Bagged soil from the Pacific Northwest, add pearlite, and llight it up with a high pressure sodium,😁
Thanks nice kinda funny cause I was just looking at that same name brand fertilizer yesterday. So I go back and get it now that I be seen your video. Thanks.
:) It works great on young seedlings and green leafy plants. Just be careful using it on pepper plants because they tend to get too leafy. Also, don't use it on plants that are already producing fruit because it could change the taste of the fruit :) Thank you so much for watching Chris :) Best, Sasha
It is surely more suitable for seedlings and leafy plants, as it is 5-1-1. This organic fertilizer is encouraging beneficial soil organisms activity for healthy plants growth. 🍻
My blueberries like it. Mixes 1/4 cup to 5 gallons water. Once a month. I have 50 bushes. Edit to add, buzzards were circling overhead before I am done applying it
Is it good to use this fertilizer on blueberries right now? (December, plant city fl-Zone 9b). I have one blueberry bush, it is my first one and it just started showing signs of tiny buds producing. I’d like to give it what it needs for the best outcome at its first fruiting this late winter/early spring.
@@kelseywhite9008 anytime works. This stuff is mild and BB are sensitive. Never had a problem. I do not fertilizer the first year. Roots need to set . Nitrogen goes to leafs first. Be sure to water in so there is no air pockets in dirt.
Mix 3 tablespoons of this material that they’re advertising and 4 tablespoons of “Moss out” liquid iron... 3 tablespoons of liquid Dawn soap.... 1 gallon of water🌲🌲🌲 spray it on your lawn and watch what happens.... you can only apply every 28 days...... sometimes I mess around with the mixture a little???? and it could be heavier on the “moss out” or it can be heavier on the fertilizer it really depends on the type of lawn you’re doing.... and what kind of shape it’s in
Thanks for the video, I just bought some of the Alaska fishfertilizer, I have never used it before did not have the need to . We bought a farm last summer, and me and my hubby made a big vegetable garden . where there used to be noting and the soil looks nice and brown, but I lost all my compost that I make every year and did not have the money to buy any so I been using Epsom salt like always. But it just not working right for my eggplants that’s why I bought the Alaska fish stuff . thanks so mush Michaela from KS.
Thank you for watching! I've never grown eggplant. Let me know how it works. Also, I use Dr. Earth fertilizer at planting time and it seems to work very well. I am just about to add some more tonight (about 2 months after planting). Good luck and thank you again!!
Great video I always though using fish fertilzer on tomatoes, and pepper plants will just give a lot of leaves and little fruit what are your thoughts on that? Thank You
Hello and thank you! I only use it while the plants are still developing and haven’t started to set fruit yet to assure a healthy and strong plant. Thank you for watching!
In the Npk value of this K value is around 1 .Then will it sufficient for flower generation of vegetables.Do we have to use with any other K supply with this?
Hi and you are welcome! Ones, I mixed the two and watered my cucumbers. The base of the plants turned yellow and they almost didn’t make it. I’m not sure if that was the reason, but better safe than sorry 🙃
Hello Linda, I hope it does wonders for you just like it does for me :)) I just transplanted some kale, swiss chard and cucumber seedlings that were fed fish fertilizer and they all look great. My tomato seedlings too look like they are on steroids :)) Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Linda! Have a great weekend! Best, Sasha
Ive been using alaska fish fertilizer for years and nothing beats it for quick nitro and organic material for organic grown plants ..you get used to the smell just dont spill it on yourself
This is very helpful. You mentioned not to use this with epsom salt. Is there any reason to that ? I applied epsom salt and fish fertilizer in a gap of 3 days.
That would be ok, just not at the same time. I did it once and my cucumber plant got yellow at the base. It could have been something else, but just in case. Thank you for watching!
@@AnOldSchoolHome more science needs to be done on this.....seems a pinch in a gallon of water with the fish emulsion wouldn't do much negative.... just a pinch.
Have you ever used fish fertilizer through a drip irrigation? I have fertilizer injector installed. According to the fish emulsion directions, 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water fertilizes 25 square feet. Now I’m fertilizing about 240 square feet. From my math I need to add about a cup and a quarter to the injector reservoir. My next question is how much fish emulsion is too much or how much can burn the plants?
Hello Charlie! I’ve never used the system because I’m gardening in a much smaller scale. I’m not sure at what point the plants will burn... I would just follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. Thank you for watching!
Hi Gerald, and thank you for your nice comment! I appreciate it! :) Yes, it does stink but works well :) I am happy you are happy with the results :) Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a wonderful day! Best, Sasha
Old School Home & Garden with Sasha : You are very welcome. You definitely have a talent. I know you'll be a success. Because of the smell, I can never use that measuring spoon in the kitchen again. It's now designated for garden use :)
Fish Fertilizer is grate for growing green leaves but if you want tomatoes switch to something that encourages flowers or your gonna just grow leaves 👍. It’s great when the plants are small though
I used this fish fertilizer on some grow buckets in my spare room with green beans in it. They are growing great but the smell is taking over the room. I only fertilized it once in the beginning about 2 weeks ago. How can i get the smell out or do you knwo something that will absorb it other than the furniture?
HI! Baking soda usually is great at absorbing odors. Also, coffee beens. If you have used coffee grounds, you can spread them over the top of the soil - they will absorb the smell and are also a great source of nitrogen.
Hi! Very informative video. Going to try it for my veggies. Btw, is the last plant bird of heaven? I bought a similar one a few years back in home depot and it's marked "plant" lol, it grows very well but it just grow bigger but no flower. I tried to identify it but since it has no flower I just treat it as house plant. But I heard bird of heaven actually love full sun and only bloom in full sun.
Thank you for your nice comment! Yes, this is the name of the plant - bird of heaven, not plant 😂. Mine never blossoms either and the label said to keep it in away from the sun... Also, only use the fish fertilizer on young veggie plants until they establish, but stop when they start blossoming. Thank you so much for watching!
@@AnOldSchoolHome Thank you for the reply! Did fertilize the tomatoes, zucchini and some other bunch of green leaf veggies. A bit late to see your comment as a few of tomatoes are just start flowering lol, will see how they take it. Thanks again!
I don’t think that should be a problem. My main concern is when the fruit starts to form because, number one - you don’t need the plant to focus on growing more leaves. And number two - I’m always worried that it might change the taste of the vegetables.
My neighbors hate me when I make fish emulsion homemade, not for town folks. it works so good. I will show a few tea recipes this year I hope. some with fish, crayfish, alfalfa, clover etc dif. in nutrients at different maturity levels. I agree fish is good nitrogen. strong stuff. 5gal. homemade makes 200gal plus, I make the emulsion then add it to other tea brews to get a more balanced nutrient level. its alive.
:) Good for you! I will get kicked out of the neighborhood if I do this :) We have HOA, so I have to be careful what I do. I just started composting a few months ago and it is going well so far :) Thank you for watching!!!
I am planning to repot my pothos and philodendrons and hope to add fish emulsion to them. What type of soil should I use with the fish emulsion? Can I use Miracle Gro? If not, what do you prefer for indoor plants?
I got some of this fertilizer for my indoor plants. I am nervous about fertilizer because I never used it. Do you water first before you fertilize? My plants are usually bone dry before I water.
@@AnOldSchoolHome has it ever flowered. I had mine for a few years now and I noticed that when new leaves form some of the older ones start ripping and turn brown. some of the newer leaves are brown as well when the unravel. I had seen places where they grow tall as ever buy mine stay at a certain height. A few months ago one of the sets grew straight up while the others always lean.
Nexington Caldwell mine never blossomed... and it died this winter because I was out of town in December and it got down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 nights in a row... I’ll buy a new one this spring.
I have a small juniper but its starting to brown, I also bought a mancozeb pesticide to spray on it just in case its fungi my qestion is how often should i apply fish fertilizer on plants such as my browning juniper
Nauaheen Irfan hi! Just don’t used them together.... it burned a cucumber plant once... it might have been something else, but better be safe than sorry 😍

My tomatoes are going nuts thanks to fish fertilizer. They're blooming like crazy now, wondering if should I switch to something with a higher phosphorus content like Alaskan morbloon?
The one time I used them together my plants got yellow spots at the bottom of the stem - I’m not sure if that’s what caused it, but just to be safe, I don’t use them together anymore

My tomato plants were 13 feet tall last year going for 15 feet this year .
You have to be careful with alfalfa because it has a ton of nitrogen and it gets hot when it composts. I like using straw for mulch.
molasses is not a probiotic..... if it was it would rot on your counter.... does add some minerals like iron and mg

Best results I found was use a 1-3 gallon pump sprayer. Spray the entire plant. Nutrients enter the leaves and stems faster than the root system.
And we would need to do that in morning versus evening right? Since watering at night is not recommended/ trying to not get leaves wet is recommended?

Mix 3 tablespoons of this material that they’re advertising and 4 tablespoons of “Moss out” liquid iron... 3 tablespoons of liquid Dawn soap.... 1 gallon of water🌲🌲🌲 spray it on your lawn and watch what happens.... you can only apply every 28 days...... sometimes I mess around with the mixture a little???? and it could be heavier on the “moss out” or it can be heavier on the fertilizer it really depends on the type of lawn you’re doing.... and what kind of shape it’s in
Great info. I’ll try it.
I just found your videos, great job!
Thank you so much Lucy!
Thanks for the video,
I just bought some of the Alaska fishfertilizer, I have never used it before
did not have the need to . We bought a farm last summer, and me and my hubby made a big vegetable garden .
where there used to be noting and the soil looks nice and brown, but I lost all my compost that I make every year and
did not have the money to buy any so I been using Epsom salt like always. But it
just not working right for my eggplants that’s why I bought the Alaska fish
stuff . thanks so mush Michaela from KS.
Thank you for watching! I've never grown eggplant. Let me know how it works. Also, I use Dr. Earth fertilizer at planting time and it seems to work very well. I am just about to add some more tonight (about 2 months after planting). Good luck and thank you again!!
How often to water house plants .? And garden vegetables? Thanks jim80
It depends… I just test the soil with my hand.
Great video I always though using fish fertilzer on tomatoes, and pepper plants will just give a lot of leaves and little fruit what are your thoughts on that? Thank You
Hello and thank you! I only use it while the plants are still developing and haven’t started to set fruit yet to assure a healthy and strong plant. Thank you for watching!
In the Npk value of this K value is around 1 .Then will it sufficient for flower generation of vegetables.Do we have to use with any other K supply with this?
Use the fish only in the sprouting/seedlings stage. When the plant matures a bit, use more balanced fertilizer like Dr. Earth. Thank you for watching!
very encouraging, thank you!
You are welcome 😊
Thanks for the video.
Love the accent 😊👍🏼
Thank you 😊
@@AnOldSchoolHome Serbian?
Very close - I’m from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 😊
Thanks for the video, looks like I need to get some of this...but why can it not be mixed w epsom salt?
Hi and you are welcome! Ones, I mixed the two and watered my cucumbers. The base of the plants turned yellow and they almost didn’t make it. I’m not sure if that was the reason, but better safe than sorry 🙃
Can you blend it with the Alaska morbloom for feeding?
Hi Keith, I’m not sure…
@@AnOldSchoolHome cool. I’ll blend and test. Thanks.
Just found your video it is so interested. I have a question what can I use for pesticide on indoor plants soil.
Hi! I am not sure - I’ve never had that problem, I’m sorry!
@@AnOldSchoolHome ? What type of soil do you use for your indoor plants, thanks for your reply 👌
I just use whatever local organic potting soil I can find in the store. Sometimes I mix my own.
Great information and comparison 👍
Thank you, I appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
wow wow what a huge difference. I just bought some and I can't wait for my plants to look better
Hello Linda, I hope it does wonders for you just like it does for me :)) I just transplanted some kale, swiss chard and cucumber seedlings that were fed fish fertilizer and they all look great. My tomato seedlings too look like they are on steroids :)) Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Linda! Have a great weekend! Best, Sasha
Super helpful. Thank you!!
You are very welcome and thank you for watching!
Wow..quite informative..thanks
:) Thank you! I appreciate your comment :)) Best, Sasha
Ive been using alaska fish fertilizer for years and nothing beats it for quick nitro and organic material for organic grown plants ..you get used to the smell just dont spill it on yourself
Agree 100%! Thank you for watching!
This is very helpful. You mentioned not to use this with epsom salt. Is there any reason to that ? I applied epsom salt and fish fertilizer in a gap of 3 days.
That would be ok, just not at the same time. I did it once and my cucumber plant got yellow at the base. It could have been something else, but just in case. Thank you for watching!
Thank you
You are welcome!
@@AnOldSchoolHome more science needs to be done on this.....seems a pinch in a gallon of water with the fish emulsion wouldn't do much negative.... just a pinch.
Thank you. How often to use the fish fertiliser please
Every 10 days or so...
How often do you apply it again,every week,two,or three weeks for to tomato plants? Thanks.
Hello, I used to apply it every two weeks until the tomato plants got established.
Very very helpful video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!
Have you ever used fish fertilizer through a drip irrigation? I have fertilizer injector installed. According to the fish emulsion directions, 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water fertilizes 25 square feet. Now I’m fertilizing about 240 square feet. From my math I need to add about a cup and a quarter to the injector reservoir. My next question is how much fish emulsion is too much or how much can burn the plants?
Hello Charlie! I’ve never used the system because I’m gardening in a much smaller scale. I’m not sure at what point the plants will burn... I would just follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. Thank you for watching!
I enjoy and appreciate informative videos. Thank you. :)
I bought the fish fertilizer, and OMG! It smells, but it works, so I'm very happy!
Hi Gerald, and thank you for your nice comment! I appreciate it! :) Yes, it does stink but works well :) I am happy you are happy with the results :) Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a wonderful day! Best, Sasha
Old School Home & Garden with Sasha : You are very welcome. You definitely have a talent. I know you'll be a success.
Because of the smell, I can never use that measuring spoon in the kitchen again. It's now designated for garden use :)
Thank you! ... :) I'm sorry you destroyed your spoon... I owe you one :) Thank you again for watching! Best, Sasha
Old School Home & Garden with Sasha LOL, it was for a good cause :)
Thank you for the information
You are very welcome and thank you for your support!
Fish Fertilizer is grate for growing green leaves but if you want tomatoes switch to something that encourages flowers or your gonna just grow leaves 👍. It’s great when the plants are small though
Yes, the fish fertilizer should be used only while establishing the seedlings. Thank you for watching!
@@mch4735 hello! Dr. Earth is a wonderful organic fertilizer I’ve used many times.
I used this fish fertilizer on some grow buckets in my spare room with green beans in it. They are growing great but the smell is taking over the room. I only fertilized it once in the beginning about 2 weeks ago. How can i get the smell out or do you knwo something that will absorb it other than the furniture?
HI! Baking soda usually is great at absorbing odors. Also, coffee beens. If you have used coffee grounds, you can spread them over the top of the soil - they will absorb the smell and are also a great source of nitrogen.
Hi! Very informative video. Going to try it for my veggies. Btw, is the last plant bird of heaven? I bought a similar one a few years back in home depot and it's marked "plant" lol, it grows very well but it just grow bigger but no flower. I tried to identify it but since it has no flower I just treat it as house plant. But I heard bird of heaven actually love full sun and only bloom in full sun.
Thank you for your nice comment! Yes, this is the name of the plant - bird of heaven, not plant 😂. Mine never blossoms either and the label said to keep it in away from the sun... Also, only use the fish fertilizer on young veggie plants until they establish, but stop when they start blossoming. Thank you so much for watching!
@@AnOldSchoolHome Thank you for the reply! Did fertilize the tomatoes, zucchini and some other bunch of green leaf veggies. A bit late to see your comment as a few of tomatoes are just start flowering lol, will see how they take it. Thanks again!
I don’t think that should be a problem. My main concern is when the fruit starts to form because, number one - you don’t need the plant to focus on growing more leaves. And number two - I’m always worried that it might change the taste of the vegetables.
My neighbors hate me when I make fish emulsion homemade, not for town folks. it works so good. I will show a few tea recipes this year I hope. some with fish, crayfish, alfalfa, clover etc dif. in nutrients at different maturity levels. I agree fish is good nitrogen. strong stuff. 5gal. homemade makes 200gal plus, I make the emulsion then add it to other tea brews to get a more balanced nutrient level. its alive.
:) Good for you! I will get kicked out of the neighborhood if I do this :) We have HOA, so I have to be careful what I do. I just started composting a few months ago and it is going well so far :) Thank you for watching!!!
J Merritt can't wait to see your video on a fish Emulsion fertilizer and tea Brews very excited😃
I just been using miracle gro 24 8 16
Can I use that for my hydroponic plants?
I am planning to repot my pothos and philodendrons and hope to add fish emulsion to them. What type of soil should I use with the fish emulsion? Can I use Miracle Gro? If not, what do you prefer for indoor plants?
I would just use regular potting soil and since those are not eatable, you can just use miracle grow. Thank you for watching!
I got some of this fertilizer for my indoor plants. I am nervous about fertilizer because I never used it. Do you water first before you fertilize? My plants are usually bone dry before I water.
Hello! I just mix the fertilizer with the water I use to water them.
What is the plant at 2:58. I have one been trying to find out if it is a birds of paradise.
Nexington Caldwell 😁 yes it is, I bought it from Home Depot.
@@AnOldSchoolHome has it ever flowered. I had mine for a few years now and I noticed that when new leaves form some of the older ones start ripping and turn brown. some of the newer leaves are brown as well when the unravel. I had seen places where they grow tall as ever buy mine stay at a certain height. A few months ago one of the sets grew straight up while the others always lean.
Nexington Caldwell mine never blossomed... and it died this winter because I was out of town in December and it got down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 nights in a row... I’ll buy a new one this spring.
Thank you for your advice. My fish fertilizer is from last year and it is pretty thick. Can I add water and use it this season? Thanks again!
Absolutely! I do the same thing :) Thank you for watching! Have a great day! Best, Sasha
Thanks Sasha! My tomato plants look AMAZING!!!
I am so happy for you Tonya! Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it! Best, Sasha
Just use the water soluble blue miracle grow at half dose every 1.5-2 weeks. Doesn’t stink and works great.
It’s not good for organic gardening. It also hurts the beneficial insects. I love MG but since I raise butterflies I can’t use it.
I have a small juniper but its starting to brown, I also bought a mancozeb pesticide to spray on it just in case its fungi my qestion is how often should i apply fish fertilizer on plants such as my browning juniper
Hi! I am not sure about juniper as I have never grown it myself... I am sorry I couldn't help.
+Old School Home & Garden with Sasha no worries, thanks for the videos
ATiliOS cheapsounds my pleasure 😊
Can you use this fertilizer on succulent plants? Thanks for your great advice!
I am not sure... I’m sorry... I don’t see why not.
I’ve seen reviews where customers have had great results with this product on succulents.
Nice job!
Wonderful video thank you
Thank you, I appreciate your support!!
Is it good for fittonia
Are you saying if using fish fertilizer then no need to use Epsom salt at all?? Or just dont yse it together?? Thanks
Nauaheen Irfan hi! Just don’t used them together.... it burned a cucumber plant once... it might have been something else, but better be safe than sorry 😍
Good info and to the point! Awesome video!!!
Thank you! I appreciate it! I just visited your channel and subscribed - very cute intro video :) I look forward to taking a pick at your other videos this weekend :)) Thank you again for the visit! I appreciate it! Best, Sasha
Awesome, thank you!
Anytime :)
Would it work well with kelp meal also
Yes, absolutely
@@AnOldSchoolHome what about tap water if I air it out I let the chlorine deplete
Yes, that would be ok.
My tomatoes are going nuts thanks to fish fertilizer. They're blooming like crazy now, wondering if should I switch to something with a higher phosphorus content like Alaskan morbloon?
There is a very good Dr. Earth fertilizer for tomatoes. It’s sold at Amazon and all garden stores - I love it. Thank you for watching!
@@AnOldSchoolHome you bet. Thanks for the information. 👍
With fruiting plants, should this only be used for the initial growth period, or can I continue using it all season long?
Just in the beginning to boost them up
For raised beds and pots peppers and tomatoes, which main soil do you recommend?
Look for locally made soil at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Oh ......can you expand on the 🚫epsoms salt .
I used Epsom salt before I purchased the fish fertilizer! ?
The one time I used them together my plants got yellow spots at the bottom of the stem - I’m not sure if that’s what caused it, but just to be safe, I don’t use them together anymore
Is fish oil the same thing? I have a bottle that wasn’t used for vitamin consumption and was wondering if you that would work as well?
Hello! I’m not 100% certain, but I think those are 2 different things.
Hello can you add epsom salt in seperate elements thanks
I'm a believer now
Do you know how long of a shelf life seaweed extract has?
I’m not sure... I had bottles for probably more than 2 years...
Hello can I use it on basil and oregano indoors?
You sure can, but it could get a bit stinky. And make sure not to splash any on the leaves so they don’t stink. Thank you for watching!
I have had great success with this product.
Me too! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the helpful demonstration. What is the name of the last plant?
My pleasure and thank you for watching! If you are asking about the one with the big leaves, Bird of Paradise.
@@AnOldSchoolHome Thank you! I love the large leaves! 😊
Me too! My plant got a frostbite last winter and died - I have to buy a new one :)
@@AnOldSchoolHomeYes, it's unfortunate when frost hurts our plants. I'm glad the new one is doing well. :)
Thank you -- well explained - examples are superb!
😍 thank you!
