- Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer - UPDATE
In this episode I will talk about the steps I take for applying fish fertilizer to my plants and vegetables in my raised garden bed and in containers. I will also show you the results of applying fish emulsion and some before and after pictures and videos.
Here is a link to the Alaska Fish Fertilizer I use: amzn.to/2gaI03Z
#gardening #organicfertilizer #gardentips #gardenhacks
1. How to mix Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer
For established plants, both decorative (hibiscus, etc.) and vegetables, I mix 1 tbsp of fish fertilizer into 1 gallon of water. This is enough for about 8 or 9 plants.
*Shake the fish fertilizer well before opening, as stuff tends to settle at the bottom of the bottle.
2. How to use and apply Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer
For my raised garden bed vegetables, I pour the mixed fish fertilizer and water around the base of each plant (tomatoes & bell peppers). I always apply the emulsion on the night that I'm supposed to water my garden.
I apply the same principle for my container plants (jalapeno peppers, cucumbers and string beans).
3. When to apply Alaska Liquid Fish Fertilizer
On average, I apply the fish fertilizer every 10 days. If it's a new transplant and it needs extra boost (like the cucumbers in the video), I might do it every 3-4 days in the beginning. And I always apply it in the evening.
4. How much Alaska Liquid Fish Fertilizer do I put on my plants
Normally, about 1 1/2 gallon of mixed fish fertilizer and water is enough for about 7 tomato plants and 7 bell pepper plants in my raised garden bed. The same amount is enough for 6 string bean plants in containers, 2 jalapeno peppers, & 4 cucumber plants in pots.
Q & A:
1. Is fish fertilizer good for tomato flowering?
- fish fertilizer is good for tomatoes but it doesn't boost flowering. I use Dr. Earth fertilizer to encourage flowering in all of my vegetables (see this video: • How To Plant Tomatoes ... )
2. Is fish fertilizer good for the lawn
- I am not sure as I have never made this experiment... I don't think it would hurt. I experimented on a lot of plants - it just doesn't make a difference for some, but I've never destroyed a plant by applying fish fertilizer
3. Is fish fertilizer good for hibiscus
- yes, it encourages leaf growth (for more blooms use Epsom salt or Dr. Earth fertilizer)
4. Can I use fish fertilizer on seedlings
- yes, 1 teaspoon of fertilizer deluded in 1 gallon of water
5. Can I use fish fertilizer and Epsom salt at the same time
- I wouldn't mix them, I would give my plants at least 24 hours window between the two

Here is a link to Amazon where you can purchase different size bottles of the same Fish Fertilizer: amzn.to/2sVrTPg
An Old School Home this info was quick and EXCELLENT with all the information necessary. Subscribed your video style is great.
It's at Walmart
Thank you! I really appreciate it 😍
Yes, if you are near one, the do sell it. Also, Home Depot and Lowe’s.
Jonathan Loomis Walmarts are never reliable enough to carry the same product
The voice of a garden angel
Lignaceous Greene LOL, Thank you! So sweet of you to say 😊
That last tip about Epsom salt was gold! New subscriber
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 :)))
Epsom salts is a myth. No need to use it.
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.
Great info. And I like the comparison between the non and fertilized plants. Seeing is believing!
Thank you! That's my philosophy as well :) Thank you for watching and have a great weekend!
Best,
Sasha
Old School Home & Garden with Sasha You too.
Hugh Janus
Thank you!
I have had great success with this product.
Me too! Thank you for watching!
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😃
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.
If you apply it to house plants, it will 100% stink up your house! I've tried it.
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.
:))) that's because we are good people :)))
Tuminater27 Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who felt that way! I honestly thought I was crazy. LOL!!!!!
...add one Asian carp to five gallons water..purée for four minutes...feed plants outside only....
I have dug my entire backyard at this point.
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
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 would like to see a video with more size comparisons of plants with and without fish fertilizer
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
Good ideas then old timers had eh. I’m gonna go fishing now and get me some fertilizer lol
👍🏼😁
I dig holes in the walkways and bury my fish scraps
Best of both worlds 😊👍🏼
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.
Neptunes harvest
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. 👍😉❤
That’s great! Thank you for watching!
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
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.
That’s wonderful!
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.
That sounds good - you really take care of your garden! Thank you for watching!
I love fish fertilizer, but it will attract animals sometimes so I use it to compost and use the compost.
That’s a great idea! Thank you for watching!
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
@@AnOldSchoolHome I had found that out the hard way after destroying some of my plants. So disappointing.
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 😍
It's on the bottle and it depends on what it being fertilized....
rierie c. Yes, thank you 😊
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.
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?
@@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.
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
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
I love that you water things in the evenink. I do as well. 🙂
I made a video on how I burned my plants from over dosing on Alaska fish fertilizer foliar feeding
Yes, you can definitely hurt the plants if you overdo it. Thank you for watching!
Hey! I just uploaded a cute little video on my other channel. I hope you enjoy: th-cam.com/video/LadcrhIN7ys/w-d-xo.html
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 😍
This actually worked really good in my garden! Plants grew fast too! I wasn't bothered by the smell at all since this smells like fish paste. 🤣
I like the results too.. not so much the smell 😂
@@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!
That’s fantastic! I’m so happy for you! I use Dr. Earth fertilizer and I love it 😍
I'm new to using this product. I'm 3 weeks in and I'm AMAZED at the results. My veg garden is deep green and growing HUGE.
I'm sold on this product.
That’s great! Thank you for watching!
I applied today. Kind of did a low dosages because I was not expecting that smell and did not measure the ingredients.
@@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.
That’s great!
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. 🍻
I agree. Thank you for watching William!
I just found your videos, great job!
Thank you so much Lucy!
Thanks for the Epsom salt tip. I'd been mixing to kill 2 birds w 1 stone. Smh
+Robin Easter you are welcome! It burned my pepper plants when I did it one time. So, I usually do Epsom salt and after 10 days or so I do the fish fertilizer. Thank you for watching!
Best,
Sasha
Stunk up my house should have watched this video, But if you never been to Erie Pa this stuff smell like Lake Erie
Lol! That’s funny 😆Sorry you stunk up your house... Thank you for watching!!
Amazing fish fertilizer ! Thank you !
My pleasure and thank you for watching!
Unfortunately if you have raccoons in your area they will dig up your garden looking for the source of that smell.
Luckily, we don’t 😅
This products (0-10-10)also makes for an amazing bloom booster for my papaya and breadfruit trees and is really inexpensive.
Aloha from oahu 🤙🤙🤙
Boy Kerisiano Aloha and Mahalo 🌸😍 you are in my favorite place in the world 😍 I’m watching videos about the volcano every day, so I’m feeling close to Hawai’i.
Thank you for watching! Best, Sasha
Wow small world! I'm from Kaneohe 😎☺️
@@loraequiroz8983 aloha tita🤙🤙🤙
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.
You are welcome and thank you for your support!!!
For anyone knew to the product, the formula has changed and it is no longer this dark brown in color.
Thank you for the update 😊
no wonder mine didn't work.. I had mixed it with epsom salt....
It could still work, I just think it’s better to do them separately. Thank you for watching!
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 🙃
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!
Great I have that but didn't know how to apply thank you
You are welcome and thank you for watching 😍
It's on the bottle
You get what you pay for. The Alaska Product is a fish emulsion while Neptune's is a hydrolysate. Fish hydrolysate has more nutrients, oils, and growth hormones than emulsion, and hydrolysate doesn't smell nearly as bad as emulsion.
I mix my fish fertilizer with fox farm big bloom... plants love it
U can mix?
Excellent video. I will start fertilizing my indoor plants with this. Thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching!
I've been using a combination of Fish/Seaweed fertilizer and Worm Tea on my lawn and flower and shrubbery gardens.
I just found your videos, great job!
+Mike Town Thank you Mike! I appreciate it! And thank you for taking the time to comment!
Sasha
Thank you, Your videos very helpful.
Mike Town
You are welcome Mike, and thank you for your support!
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.
Thank you so much for your support and I hope your plants are doing great!
Hiiii. Can we get an update? 🤗
How often to water house plants .? And garden vegetables? Thanks jim80
Just use the water soluble blue miracle grow at half dose every 1.5-2 weeks. Doesn’t stink and works great.
Soil needs a good carbon source for that fertilizer to work properly.
How often do you apply fish fertilizer to your plants?
Every week to 10 days up until they start blossoming/forming flower buds.
@@AnOldSchoolHome Thank you so much for quick response.
You are very welcome!
@@AnOldSchoolHome I forgot to ask ... when they start blossoming/forming flower buds what do you apply to the tomato plant from that point forward?
@@yannip2083 my favorite fertilizer is Dr. Earth. I also buy organic cow manure from Home Depot.
I used the whole bottle on a small yard about 5000 square feet,Then it poured the next day,
It works great but it smells like what you think. Dead fish! Yes it stinks your house.🙄😖
Nice video infact I use another kind and it also get great results it's called "Gulf Agro"
Thank u,
Thanks for the video.
Love the accent 😊👍🏼
Thank you 😊
@@AnOldSchoolHome Serbian?
Very close - I’m from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 😊
why does adding Epsom salt interfere with the fish fertilizer's effectiveness? In solution, small amounts of epsom salt would add magnesium and sulfur to your solution and some alkalinity, so at small doses, I don't see where the problem would be?
I started using this product for the first time last year and i loved It! Thanks for sharing this video
I do too! You are welcome and thank you for watching!
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.
Thanks, very informative. You're right, it stinks!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment; I appreciate it! Best, Sasha
I love the smell. It smells like vitamins or rich, rich soil. Pavlov's dog I guess... I am told I am a manly man. And I love fish sauce for Asian dishes like Korean and Thai. Yum. 👨 💪 🐟 I bought this for 79 cents at a Kmart. I wish I purchased more. It normally is I think 7 dollars or more.
Lol! You are the first viewer who likes the smell - you are a manly man 😊
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...
NOT MIX WITH EPSOM SALT EH? 10-4
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.
Does this change the taste of vegetables in any way? Fishy? Growing vegetables too fast sacrifices taste of vegetables?
It does not, but you have to stop using it before the plants start to flower.
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,😁
Thank you for the side by side
You are welcome and 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.
I just been using miracle gro 24 8 16
i felt bad for them...hahaha i heard that your the best
My garden does good with Fish emulsion. I had put some epsom salt down then watered in with fish emulsion..within 2-3 days could see big difference.
It works like magic! 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!
It's smells like crap lol
Oh, it smells worse than that 😂
Does using fish fertilizer help produce fruit on vegetables besides making the leaves healthier?
Hello! It helps the leaves and the establishment of healthy root system.
Great video Thanks for sharing i just planted tia chillies in my garage but the leaves are turning yellow do you have any idea what is causing that.
Hello! It could be either not enough sunlight or too much water. I think it’s the sunlight.
Wat type soil mix u use?
Usually just whatever local organic soil I can find at Home Depot or Dr. Earth. Thank you for watching!
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!
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.
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!
Fruit ke plants Mini Dal sakte hain
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
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
Great tip, thank you 😊
How often do I do this??
Once or twice per month. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the side by side comparison, that tells me all I need to know. 👍🏼
You are very welcome and thank you for watching!
Don’t use in your house🥵🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
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
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 was told that Fish emulsion fertilizer is good only for leave plants and not for flowering ones.
I’m not sure... I’ve used it on my hibiscus many times... Thank you for watching!
I like your idea of putting the fish emulsion in first, it does seem to mix better that way. Its the way I do it every time I use now, didnt before.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Also, be careful when dealing with moose and squirrel
Luckily, we do not have those here :)
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.
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 .
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
how often do we need to apply fish fertiliser do you agree with preparing fish extract at home in india we hardly get fish fertiliser
Hi! I do it not more than every 2 weeks. I've never prepared my own but I have seen a lot of other gardeners do it. You should be ok preparing it yourself :) Best, Sasha
Thank you ma’am 🙏🏻😊
You are welcome and thank you for watching 😊
I got this at Menards and need to start using it. Just a tip, keep in the frig or it will mold in the summer. Even if kept indoors.
Thanks for the tip. I just bought some and didn't know the best way to store it.
I have never had it mold. I have never kept it cold. Sounds like a horrible idea.
I never put mine in da fridge either
Not true
I forgot half a bottle outside in the sun for over a month. I tried using and it was fine.
You are better tell us what did you fertilize the other one
Its great for cannabis for the first month.
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. 👍
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.
How often do I use this mixture for vegetables and plants?
About every 10 days for seedlings and young plants before they start producing
How about after they start flowering?
Theresa Carrera not at all because I want the plants to focus on growing fruit and not leaves if that makes sense.
