Fish emulsion or fertilizer is an organic product that contains about 5%
nitrogen 1% phosphorous and 1% potassium. It is a water soluble fertilizer
that is fast acting. That means the plant can use the nitrogen right away.
It is a very good product for container gardens. This video explain the
product and how to use it.

I just started using Neptune Harvest I got from Amazon. I will let you all
know how it works for me.

Thanks for the great videos. Quick question. Have you had anyone say they
had plants that didn’t seem to like fish emulsion? I (think) I have that
problem with my cucumbers. The summer crop as well as this falls crop ( I
live in zone 8b) started doing poorly only after I applied fish emulsion.
They were doing good, big nice leaves and flowers. Then when I fertilized
with fish emulsion, they started going down hill. Yellowing leaves and mild
shriveling of the leaves. Any advice on this?

We are now going into the vinter season, and snow is just around the
corner. This last week we`ve had continously frost nights. I`ll still be
posting growing videos thow, since I use a grow room in winter. I`ll also
be growing in a up heated green house, as long as the temperature don`t
sink to low outside. Cheers, Halvor.

I havent used it on cucumbers. I dont have any advice. I think if that was
a risk we would have heard about it. Any other issues on other crops.
Cucumbers can look great and turn quick. I cant see what would cause this
in fish emulsion. Ill look around and let you know if I find anything.

Most of it gets sucked out by the plants. Tomatoes use what is there
quickly as do most plants. You often have to revitalize your container soil
each year. Break up the roots, add organic matter and new starter
fertilizer.

You don’t have Fish, Blood and Bone in America because here in the Uk it is
the preferred choice as a top dressing in spring for plants, As the name
suggest it is made from the waste of the fish industry . Its NPK is around
7 7 7 and it is granular. For Nitrogen use ammonium Nitrate (21%N)-used for
leafy crops, for phosphorus use Superphosphate (17.5%P)- used for root
crops and Potassium sulphate (48% K) -used for fruit trees and soft fruit

Every 2-3 weeks. 3 weeks is the directions. As the plants get larger in
containers, I would go every 2 weeks.

Using all three you can make up your own fertiliser. Nitrates and potassium
are all soluble and will be washed out with rain whilst phosphorus will not.

Question for you that I can never seem to find out. What happens to all the
food I have given my plants(I grow everything in pots) the last growing
season? Does all the nitrogen, phosphorus , potassium, vitamins and
minerals dissipate from the soil or does a good portion of the food stay in
the soil for the next season? If it stays in the soil I should not have to
give each pot much food during the growing season.
