    An easy way to think of fertilizer is Shoots-Roots- and Fruits.
    N is Nitrogen for shoots. P is for phosphorus for Roots. and K is for Potassium for Fruits and blooms.

    My family old school natives. We use the whole fish and bury it. Now what I do is put it on a bucket with soil and on top of it is some other compost items. My grandma taught me that. Bless her souls she would’ve been 92 today. She’s the reason I garden.

    Catching up on some videos, currently on a Container Crops Marathon lol. I saw someone plant a fish head under one of their tomato plants as an experiment. The other one, just normal soil. The one with the fish head was three times larger, and more productive. Not gonna lie, when I heard about fertilizer shortages, I purchased some sardines as a back up 🌱🤠

    I read a well written educated review about this product being so potent, it can attract predators into your garden area. The main problem with this would be if you have pets who share the same space. Here in central NC there are definitely larger animals who might be dangerous to our pets, other areas may be different. I switched over to a slightly more expensive brand with ZERO smell, this eliminates the predator issue.

    I've been using 511 for years but I'm also a fisherman I always bury my fish heads and guts with the post hole digger about three feet down. I know that sounds a little excessive but that way the raccoons don't dig it up the roots eventually reach. Also on a side note I use for 511 on my cut bait when I go catfishing but don't tell anybody 😂

    I learned this by accident. My son in law & daughter were renting a house from me. When they moved out, I moved back in. The only thing they left was this large fish in the freezer. Thinking he just didn’t know what to do with it I buried it in the back yard. The next spring I planted a (1) tomato plant in that same spot. That plant flourished and just kept producing over & over again. I couldn’t believe the tomatoes that came off that 1 plant!!😅

    @douglas9607 Před 7 měsíci

    Alaska fish fert is the first part of a two part system!
    Alaska fish fert is part of a two part system. The other part is called Morebloom also from Alaska. Where the fish fert is 5-1-1 the Morebloom is 0-10-10. You can see that they are made to be used simultaniously but in varying ratio. Like in the beginning of veg use more N but you still want to use the Morebloom. toward flowering use less of the first bottle's N.
    Also, like you said . . . the plants don't get fed immediately after the Fish fert so I add my Part 1 about a month before I plant so the fish fert breaks down and starts deliviering nutes.
    Thanks and keep up the great work.

We're in the middle of a nightmarish heat wave in Texas and a lot of my plants are turning yellow. Perky enough, but yellow. I have Sandy loam/blackland clay soil. Can I safely use 511 on my heat stressed trees abs shrubs? I have a very young gingko, two shantung maple trees, red tip photinias with loropetalum, a row of wax leaf privet, two small honeysuckle plants..I don't want to accidentally kill anything 😓 but I feel they could really use a little boost right now.

      Worm castings is good but it ain’t enough for a good harvest unless you got a HUGE HUGE worm farm

    I accidentally bought some Cod from china YEAH I DID well that all went in my garden LOL for one thing I think its fake and not fillets it cooks up very strangely turns to mush so IN THE HOLE IT ALL WENT and my plants are doing really good right now uhm hmmm i put it in about a month prior to planting so it will take awhile but i figure right around the time my plants flower they will have access to what the microorganisms have broken down leaving nutritious soil for the roots to feed on should get a nice massive crop :)
