I apply everytime my plants look like they need it...One of the HH in new york says a pint a week. Just use the search box.

Do a small amount 2-3X a week foliar and drench. I buy a gallon of fish, kelp and fish and kelp and do fish on Monday, kelp on Wednesday and fish and kelp on Friday. Small amounts over time. I also do humic acid and mollasses. It has made a difference this year so far.

There is a interview with joe pukos on this bigpumpkins done 7 years ago and he says he gives each plant 1 pint of fish emulsion/seaweed each week, this was 7 years ago, I don't no how much he has changed if any. I can now put that much on because I make my own fish emulsion/seaweed,it is cheaper making it than buying it.

We have a fish market here called Coastal Seafoods, I got 16 pounds of salmon, grouper & another kind of fish, some sunfish, bullhead, can of tuna, can of salmon, the fish are filleted and then thrown out, I took the throw outs, I chopped them up in 4 inch chunks, the mollasses is breaking the fish done into a liquid. The oriental food market has seaweed dried, it is seaweed layed out to dry, bagged and sold, 1 pound in each 5 gallon bucket,,each bucket also has 10 pounds of fish. Sure has greened up the plants so far.

foliar means to get the leaves wet with the solution, drench is to get the soil wet/drench

so you should drench the soil with neptunes fish and seaweed also?
how would you accomplish this, what type of sprasyer you one use?
i dont think a pump sprayer could drench the soil, i would say not powerful enough.

you can use a miracle grow type sprayer and put it in line with your watering system if possible, or there are other sprayers that will siphon the neptunes at how every many tbsp per gallon that you set it to.

Neptunes makes a seaweed, fish, and fish/seaweed product. I am wondering which ones you have used with success? I have read the fish/seaweed product drenched and seaweed product foliar sprayed at the same time. These products along with various fertilizers throughout the year, is this the correct product I should be using with my various fertilizers? I just got thrown off a bit because I always used the seaweed and then the fish products together, the new seaweed/fish product threw me for a loop. Thanks for the info!

Have you gone to the neptunes harvest web site? there are a couple heavy hitters saying they sware by it. Its still a little pricey for me.

Yeah, I have been to the website and it's not cheap, but, I wouldn't mind trying it once to see. I just don't know what product I should get?
