Fertilizing your lawns, gardens and crops with organic fertilizer is the way Mother Nature wanted it to be. Fish emulsion is a renewable source that has served as nature's finest organic fertilizer for centuries. How we ever converted to synthetic fertilizers is beyond me.
A little known Gulf fish called the Menhaden is used for its oils and the byproducts make a great fertilizer. And how appropriate is it that Menhaden, loosely translated, means "that which manures", since manure is an excellent fertilizer as well.
A much desired quality of fish emulsion as organic fertilizer is that it offers instant gratification. One misconception many people have is that all organic fertilizers don't act fast enough. True, some organic fertilizers are slow acting but not fish emulsion. Your plants benefit almost immediately after its application. Some other organic fertilizers leave you waiting. Often their ingredients need some time to decompose and release their nutrients. You have to be careful to store fish emulsion at room temperature so that it doesn't degrade before you want it to as it will in excessive heat.
Seedlings especially benefit from fish emulsion as organic fertilizer because it is so fast acting and transplants need the extra attention so they aren't harmed too badly from transplanting. Fish emulsion applied to roots of plants ready to go into the ground helps the plant?s roots cling to its nutrient rich soil, aiding in transplanting by reducing shock to the plant.
Organic fertilizer doesnt pose the same risks that synthetic fertilizers do. Brown burn spots on the lawn are a problem of the past. Your plants wont be dropping dead from chemical overload.
Yes, fish emulsion has a drawback, it doesn't smell too great. Though a super organic fertilizer, you'll want to exercise caution when using. Try to keep it off your hands and clothes. The lovely aroma will diminish after a short period of time, so don't worry. You won't have to live with it for very long.
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.
Fish emulsion has been used as an organic fertilizer for so long that no one can legitimately debate whether or not it works. Millions of lawns and gardens are well serviced by fish emulsion, especially younger plants. The rewards justify the stench, so get over it. This too shall pass. Your vegetation will thrive like never before when using fish emulsion as your primary organic fertilizer on your lawn and garden. - 30422
