I thought this stuff would smell awful, and I wouldn’t be able to use it in the house? But The Guy at the Nursery told me it wasn’t that bad at all, that he and his wife, and many others around town here use it with their indoor plants, That’s what sold me on trying this one (and it’s spoke highly of) I knew about the Alaskan Brand Fish emulsion, I can remember my Grandmother using it in their Garden Years ago. Best i can remember that stuff REALLY stinks? I’ve stil got a Full month and a Half in the house before these guy’s can safely go outside. This Neptunes Stuff has it’s own unique Smell thats for sure :lol: But it really isnt that bad, You can definitely Smell both Seaweed and Fish, But it’s not over powering bad when diluted down per instructions, You use 1 Tablespoon of it per Gallon of Water.
We had 6 of those Big 1/2 Wine Barrel Planters at the House we lived before this one, I caught an Ice Chest full of Nice Crappie About 2 weeks or so before it was safe to plant outside, After Filleting them fish out, I dug down about 1 foot on each of them Planters and put those Fish guts, Carcasses, and Skins in each of them Big Potter’s, Our plants went COMPLETELY nuts in those Pots, We had a BUMPER Crop of Tomatoes that year!! The Neighbor lady Had bought the exact Same plants as we did, All the Same Run, Same sized plants, etc. In just a months time there was no Comparison in our plants, She would walk her Dogs up and look at ours, lol! It’s amazing what rotting Fish will do for a plant :yeah:
