I can't tell you what is best, I can just tell you that the only fish emulsion I use is not emulsion, but hydrolyzed. I use Neptune's Harvest brand and mail order a couple gallons per year.

I use it on everything as a 'just in case' fertilizer. It isn't super high in anything, but contains all plant nutrients so I use it to ensure that there is never a deficiency of anything.

I've stopped using it because I found the critters love it and dig up transplants fertilized with it to find the 'fish' they believe is under the plant.

Anney,
I second JustaGuy, only I use the Fish and Seaweed from NH.

I don't know about those Norhern critters, but ours in the South prefer only fresh seafood. LOL ;)

Okay, I'm leaning toward the Neptune's Harvest hydrolized fish fertilizer myself, maybe plus the seaweed. Thanks to all.

It looks like research is saying that it works better as a ground drench around the plants than as a foliar feed because the ingredients work on the soil enzymes to trigger healthy plant growth rather than directly on plant tissues.

Truely, I have had no problems with animals and the skunks dig the worms and grub right next to the containers. Of course the only thing alive now are the collards and Kale. The rest is just a mess. Ah, Spring is just around the corner

Darn 17.4 and still dropping.

Best stuff I ever used was Fermented Salmon Extract from Coast of Maine. I haven't ordered any in a while, but hope it's still available.

So, is that Alaska brand stuff OK... or what?
