OK. I want to know: which is a better foliar fertilizer, seaweed (kelp) or fish fertilizer? Sorry to have to start a whole thread about this.

Fish v. Seaweed fertilizer
Don't be sorry, I'd like to know, too!

Hiya zeldonian,
They can't be compared. Liquid seaweed is used as a foliar for micronutrients and potassium yet has no measurable nitrogen or phosphorus. Fish is an amazing fertilizer that has limited micronutrients. Combining the two is a fabulous way to take advantage of the good points in both. If you must apply foliar use them both at 1/2 to 2/3 strength. A soil drench with both at full strength as per the dilution instructions on the bottle is really a complete diet for many plant types.
hope this helps.
Don
Thanks you. Thay helps a lot.
Oh, and also, how do they compare to compost and manure teas?
Sorry,
Zelda
i use compost tea as an immune system strengthener, and kelp/emulsion as fertilizer. I "treat" a sick or infested plant with the former,in addition to other stuff.
