Nature didn't give us chemicals to nurture our lawns and gardens. Nature gave us some excellent stuff to keep our vegetation healthy and organic fertilizer has forever outdone itself. Fish emulsion, in particular, has been used by our ancestors for centuries. Someone somewhere had some bright idea that chemicals were the ticket to green lawns and red tomatoes, but they obviously didn't think the idea through to the finish. Well, this is the finish and organic fertilizer a brighter idea.
The best fish by-product to use for an organic fertilizer comes from the Menhaden fish. Menhaden meaning "that which manures". Such a great name since manure is an excellent fertilizer too. The Menhaden fish is an organic and renewable source, serving North America for centuries as an extraordinary organic fertilizer. For centuries our ancestors used the Menhaden fish to make crops grow incredible yields?way before synthetic fertilizer was a twinkle in anyone's eye.
An advantage to using fish emulsion as your primary organic fertilizer is that it produces results immediately. Many other organic fertilizers, though good for your vegetation, are slow acting. The wonderful nutrients they possess can't be accessed by your plants roots until they have decomposed. Instant gratification is something we can all appreciate on some level. Since it degrades so quickly, your plants will get what they need NOW! Since it does degrade fast, you want to make sure it's stored at room temperature so it doesn't start working its magic before it's in the soil.
Fish emulsion is a great organic fertilizer for seedlings. Since fish emulsion acts so promptly, it makes a great fertilizer for transplants too. Transplants particularly need some extra attention so as not to risk any harm from the shock of transplanting.
Chemical fertilizers risk burning your lawn and plants. Organic fertilizer doesn't pose these same risks. You won't have ugly brown spots on your lawn or plants dropping dead from toxic chemicals.
Fish emulsion does have a strong offensive odor, so when handling you might consider rubber gloves and clothes fit for fish smell in case of any splashes. The stench does dissipate with a little time so don't worry, you won't have a fishy lawn and garden for any longer than what's tolerable.
The Menhaden fish is the best fish to use for organic fertilizer. They're too bony to eat, but they feed on mineral rich plankton making them a treat for the lawn and garden, super rich in nutrients.
This renewable source, fish emulsion, has proven itself to be awesome organic fertilizer, especially the little Menhaden from the Atlantic and Caribbean. Lawns and gardens all over benefit greatly from this organic fertilizer, especially seedlings and transplants. Once you get over the smell, you can reap the rewards. You won't risk burning any vegetation and your garden and lawn will thrive like never before. If you're after instant gratification, fish emulsion is the organic fertilizer for you. - 30422
