How to Use Fish Emulsion in Your Garden with 10 Feeding Examples: Ratio, Frequency & Amount to Pour

I use fish emulsion as my main water-soluble fertilizer. It is a great foliar fertilizer. This is how I make it, how often I apply it, and use it on different vegetable garden crops. I cover the details you might not find elsewhere, like how much to pour on a plant.

Thank you Gary for your knowledge. You have encouraged me to plant more than 5 containers! I'm using your links on Amazon and also visit your store. Just want you to know you have helped me in so many ways to expand and feel more confident in the garden. My cucumbers are only 1/2 inch long right now, but better than last year. I'm in 7a and in NM we have 95-100 degree temps. The shade cloth I ordered should make a difference and using the fish emulation for the first time today. Hope my cats don't go crazy! Thanks again!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thanks for the link support. And enjoy the container garden. I am glad your feel confident and are expanding. Temps are hot, and that shade cloth will help. If the fish emulsion smells to bad or has an issue with the cats, try AgroThrive in my recent video descriptions. Its organic, works, and doesnt have the smell issue like FE.

Due to career moves, I've started a lot of gardens. Got to one place in late fall. It was a spec house finished just as the mortgage crisis hitting. The owner couldn't sell it, so he leased it. The yard looked bad. All I could do was put down compost, cover with leaf mulch & wait until spring. I always plant a crop of simple greens to see how any new bed does. I always felt silly because I never had a bed fail at greens. Well, that one did. The contactor must have used crap top or even subsoil to finish the yard. I had to shoot synthetic N through to save the greens crop while piling on organic matter since the local Ag Co-op had no FE available. I finally found some, but it hardly mattered. It would have taken at least 2 years+ to rehab that soil. If you don't have N in the soil & little to no soil structure, you're at zero. The rhizome grass even struggled. Fortunately, we could walk away in late summer & weren't stuck with the house.

[@dragoncarver287]

Yes. I did. I do have that and use it. I wonder if there is another product with more P and K in it. when watering a dry surface, I would think dampening the soil first, especially if its compost. it takes a lot of water to just get to an inch of depth. when the soil is damp, the emulsion will actually get down that far. If the soil isn't moist, that little bit of moisture will only dampen at most a 1/4 inch and probably less.

Gary - I was revisiting this video. If you ever have a chance I would love to see a video discussing any pest problems you had while using fish emulsion as I am worried about Racoons and Rats digging in my plants. Also would love to see a video about making organic granulated fertilizer into a liquid fertilizer. I know how to do so however I'm concerned about the amount to utilize once in liquid form. I have trouble in my area finding the ratios I like and Fox Farms liquid fertilizer is nice stuff however so expensive here in San Francisco. Would like to start dissolving and using the granular into my own liquid fertilizer to save some money. I do use bone and blood meals however I need something that acts faster as these become available to the plant later in the season. Cheers!!!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So I have had no issues. People do have issues with bone meal, blood meal and fish emulsion but it seems to be hit or miss. The granular organic won't dissolve. It has to compost down. I like organic but if your are on a budget the, chemical water soluble ferts work and are safe. A combo of them and organic granular is perfectly fine.

Thanks for this. I started using this later in my first garden last year but have a question about watering the tomatoes. You mentioned soaking the leaves. Is that just with this fertilizer every two weeks? I'd seen something that said not to wet the leaves when watering.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

For fish emulsion you can water the leaves. They can take nutrients that way. Not a must. But wetting leaves is a myth. When it rains, leaves get soaked and plants have survived millions of years. I would water early am or during the day when the sun and wind can dry them but that is not a must.

I switch to Agrothrive as it's a bit more balanced and my dog was eating the soil when I used firs emulsion. If you are able switching to another water-soluble with more P and K is technically better. However, using fish emulsion all season wont harm anything.

Just used the fish emulsion for the first time a few days ago. I quickly noticed flies hanging around. It definitely has a potent smell and I'm wondering if you have found that it attracts bigger critters. Several neighbors have outdoor cats that venture into our backyard and I'm expecting a gathering based on what I'm smelling... Does it get into the fabric pots and stink them up over time?

First year gardener here, thank you for your valuable and easy to understand/logical videos! My question to use FE for my first time is storage/shelf life. Central FL 9b it’s already hitting 90s some days. Wondering if FE degrades sooner with heat, outdoor storage (covered lanai)? Can storage wise it last more than one growing season? Thanks in advance

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So concentrated in bottle it has a loooong shelf life. I can't really go bad. But once you mix with water, if you let that sit a couple of days all kinds of stuff starts growing and it really stinks bad. I would store mixed FE.

I made my own cheap. I bought whole fish that were filleted at a fish shop. Add equal weight brown sugar and fish in a five gallon bucket, mix it and cover it and walk away. 6 months everything is completely dissolved, Where did the bones and eyeballs go? After 3 months it's useable and still have bones in there, but after six it was all liquid. I have about 4 gallons + of fish fertilizer and better than the fish emulsion.

The question I have for you, with all of my container plants(which is a lot) is there an easier way to fertilize other than using a watering can? I use fish emulsion like you recommend, but I have to use at least 10 or more cans. Thanks in advance.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Congrats on your first year. Well if you set them up with fertilizer, granular type or compost... you can probably feed them less when small with the water soluble. There is no exact way but once you put in plants, use the fish emulsion, sometimes you can wait 6-8 weeks to do it again based on what is in you container mix. There is just no easy way to say that in a video though. LOL.

Here's a rabbit hole for you...check out the "rain gutter grow system". It's quite the set up and since it's your first year, not something to jump into. I like Gary's Channel because he offers simple, no-nonsense gardening but still great advice. This is definitely veering off that path. But if you get bitten by the bug, it's a completely self-watering container garden system. Really a different animal. I'm not necessarily recommending it, but it's fun to see how people around the world have set it up. A quick KZbin search will get you there.

Hi Gary, I have started using fish emulsion this year and its great. I didn't know I could use it for my garlic, going to do it now. One question for you, do you not use any other fertilizer on your tomatoes and peppers later in the season once they start flowering and need less nitrogen ? if so what do you recommend? Thanks, Stephanie

So the fish emulsion I have has 5 nitrogen. That is pretty low. So I would just use this. My beds are pretty well set up so I dont use as much fertilizer anymore.

Hey Gary I was wondering , if I can water lightly first with plain water let it soak in and then mix up my fish emulsion and lightly dose each plant ? Tht way I don’t end up using a lot of fish emulsion mix to water deeply

What's better in your opinion. Fish emulsion or worm casting tea?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

They do different things. So you can really compare them. FE for fertilizing. WCT for other benefits.

Gary, not sure if you'll see this but I have tried to find the answer in one of you videos but so far haven't found. I planted onion sets and my onion transplants in my new raised beds. I did not add additional fertilizer at planting time. Onions have been growing for a month and a half but some are turning yellow and look puny. What do you recommend please?

Time for a drink of water soluble fertilizer. Also pull one and see of the roots are long and nice. If the roots are good the soluble will work.
