  • Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer - UPDATE
    In this episode I will talk about the steps I take for applying fish fertilizer to my plants and vegetables in my raised garden bed and in containers. I will also show you the results of applying fish emulsion and some before and after pictures and videos.
    Here is a link to the Alaska Fish Fertilizer I use: amzn.to/2gaI03Z
    #gardening #organicfertilizer #gardentips #gardenhacks
    1. How to mix Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer
    For established plants, both decorative (hibiscus, etc.) and vegetables, I mix 1 tbsp of fish fertilizer into 1 gallon of water. This is enough for about 8 or 9 plants.
    *Shake the fish fertilizer well before opening, as stuff tends to settle at the bottom of the bottle.
    2. How to use and apply Alaska Liquid Organic Fish Fertilizer
    For my raised garden bed vegetables, I pour the mixed fish fertilizer and water around the base of each plant (tomatoes & bell peppers). I always apply the emulsion on the night that I'm supposed to water my garden.
    I apply the same principle for my container plants (jalapeno peppers, cucumbers and string beans).
    3. When to apply Alaska Liquid Fish Fertilizer
    On average, I apply the fish fertilizer every 10 days. If it's a new transplant and it needs extra boost (like the cucumbers in the video), I might do it every 3-4 days in the beginning. And I always apply it in the evening.
    4. How much Alaska Liquid Fish Fertilizer do I put on my plants
    Normally, about 1 1/2 gallon of mixed fish fertilizer and water is enough for about 7 tomato plants and 7 bell pepper plants in my raised garden bed. The same amount is enough for 6 string bean plants in containers, 2 jalapeno peppers, & 4 cucumber plants in pots.
    Q & A:
    1. Is fish fertilizer good for tomato flowering?
    - fish fertilizer is good for tomatoes but it doesn't boost flowering. I use Dr. Earth fertilizer to encourage flowering in all of my vegetables (see this video: • How To Plant Tomatoes ... )
    2. Is fish fertilizer good for the lawn
    - I am not sure as I have never made this experiment... I don't think it would hurt. I experimented on a lot of plants - it just doesn't make a difference for some, but I've never destroyed a plant by applying fish fertilizer
    3. Is fish fertilizer good for hibiscus
    - yes, it encourages leaf growth (for more blooms use Epsom salt or Dr. Earth fertilizer)
    4. Can I use fish fertilizer on seedlings
    - yes, 1 teaspoon of fertilizer deluded in 1 gallon of water
    5. Can I use fish fertilizer and Epsom salt at the same time
    - I wouldn't mix them, I would give my plants at least 24 hours window between the two
    For more fertilizing tips for your garden you can check out the video where I plant my tomato plants into the raised garden bed:

    Fish fertilizer is the best! I have corn growing right now. I have 62 plants, aside from the rest of my garden. I own two little Beta fish each in a 1 gallon bowl. I change their water and put the waste directly under my corn.
    My corn gets a good burst of energy just from 2 little fish who poop lots. 👍😉❤

    I just bought a bottle of this and figured I should educate myself on using it. Came straight to RUclips and found you and now I feel armed and ready! :) I had a horrible time this spring with my lettuce seedlings... none of them grew taller than two inches... so I'm going to start over with heat-tolerant varieties since it's almost summer. And I'll be sure to use this and only 1 TBSP per gallon. I'm going to subscribe for more gardening tips. Thanks!

      :) It works great on young seedlings and green leafy plants. Just be careful using it on pepper plants because they tend to get too leafy. Also, don't use it on plants that are already producing fruit because it could change the taste of the fruit :) Thank you so much for watching Chris :) Best, Sasha

      @davidjudd221 6 лет назад +5

      Not true. My elderly neighbor used it when I moved in beside them. We both organic gardened, same soil obviously, but I didn't use it my first year. His plants blew mine away. Next year while still not being fully convinced, I did epsom salt on 25 plants, with the other 25 plants not getting it. The results were amazing. The epsom salt plants did better in every way. More fruit, better heat resistance, just plain better.

    A little tip , molasses helps the root system to pick up nutrients in the soil and prevent burning the roots . I use shredded alfalfa and molasses that i get in 70 lb bags from the local feed store for 20 dollars , it is normally fed to farm animals with dental problems . I cover the soil about 1 inch depth and this also helps retain moisture and protects surface roots from dying , it also breaks down and adds more nitrogen to the soil . My tomato plants were 13 feet tall last year going for 15 feet this year .

    • @thenmgarden6471

    Hi, I use different brands of fish and seaweed (kelp) fertilizer and its good stuff. The last time I used Alaska products, the label said to use 3-TBS per gallon and its too strong. Through experimentation, 1 TBS/gal is the most I will ever use. Often times, I mix 1-TBS in a 2-gallon water can and foliar feed in the evening every 2-3 weeks during flowering thru fruit set and my vegetable yields are crazy.

According to the fish emulsion directions, 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water fertilizes 25 square feet. Now I’m fertilizing about 240 square feet. From my math I need to add about a cup and a quarter to the injector reservoir. My next question is how much fish emulsion is too much or how much can burn the plants?
