Fish Emulsion vs. Fish Fertilizer
Comments (12)The main bed I've put them in is roughly 20x24. I've been doing it for a few years. What happens is that my brothers ice fish, so they save all their guts for me, and i just build up a good pile. In spring they thaw out, my garden thaws out and I bury them about a foot down. My nutrient levels are probably through the roof. Its amazing that most of the fish is just tossed in the garbage. You guys are right about animals. I swear my neighbor dog was digging in my fish guts a few years back after i had buried them. An option would be to put down a big board or some heavy fencing (cattle panel) over the top of the guts for a few weeks....See Morefish oil versus oil based fish emulsion
Comments (3)Coastiemedic, You have me chuckling to myself. The fish oil that I'm thinking of would be cod liver oil -- what I'm trying to do is save some money. Attracting bugs may not be a bad thing--cause I don't find any on the trees except these huge grasshoppers in the summer and the bees. I get a little crazy when it comes to cleaning the area and leaves and all. Maybe I'll just start hosing the underside of the leaves instead of watering the ground. The only way I've found to get to the underside of leaves is to get inder a bunch of leaves with my forarm and raise the leaves that way and the hose in my right hand. If I'm feeling very determined, I'll even lay on my back to get under those leaves. I completely enjoy this obsessive behavier -- it just makes every other concern pale. Last year I figured that because I was spraying in the cool of the morning and the day temps. weren't hitting 90 yet, that it was ok to spray with this salad oil--here in Georgia -- near St Marys--there aren't any days below 80 say after April -- well, I could be a little off--, but as soon as the temps. were getting up there, down came the leaves. The combination of the heat and the salad oil had the leaves from the orange covering the ground. So glad I tried that on just one citrus. Almost all the leaves fell off. The leaves grew back nicely. Thanks coastie, I think I should wait to find out more on the subject of what oils I can use before I do anything. It's just that the spring flush is starting and I'm feeling anxious.

Comments (3)I have used Fish emulsion as a pest spray will great success. Just dilute it about 10-1 with water and spray either early morning or late evening. I dont know how effective it is for scale but it does well for spider mites Mike...See MoreFish emulsion vs Neptunes for pest control
Comments (3)Hey Barb... Fish Emulsion works wonders for me all summer, and I never have to worry about leaves burning too or to much build up of oils if used often that can suffocate leaves besides bugs..It has to be a good quality pressed cold one such as Neptunes Harvest... I find it most certainly deters pests before they ever start, but can take a bit longer to rid them if one is not consistent with using it when allowing bugs to take hold..I spray my plants every 2 weeks or so until they come in... I wish I could use that all year since it does not affect the leaves ability to grow properly when use as often as you would like while just enough oil deters mites and other sucking insects for me... I also love the Neem, but one has to be very careful with it, even though natural and it can kill blossoms and force fruit to drop suddenly......See Moreantidis
