fish emulsion

I've used it for probably 30 years or so and have always had very good

results and like it a lot. Follow directions on the container and I think you

will like it, too.

While it is "natural" you should still keep pets away from it. And the smell

can be a bit of a drawback for some people, but I personally don't mind it.

I use it for lawn, tomatoes, ornamental plants, everything.

Happy Gardening!

It helps. I don't have a big sprayer or anything, so since the lawn is fairly

small in size, I just mix up batches and pour it on in a back and forth motion.

It is also an "old" lawn though so it isn't a dramatic difference, but still to

me worth the trouble. I probably would do better to get a "weed and feed"

type product, but so far I choose not to do that. I like using the more

natural product instead of a ton of chemicals that could potentially get into

the waterways. For my lawn, I also just use a "mulching" lawnmower instead

of picking up clippings. It could do with aeration, though.

Remember back to learning in school how the Indians planted fish heads

and/or guts with their corn. Fish emulsion is the same principle!

Excuse my laughter, but I just assumed it must be something to paint fish with!!!
