Benefits of Using Fish Emulsion
Fish emulsion is appropriate for many uses in the garden but is especially useful as a lawn fertilizer in early spring and to feed leafy green vegetables due to its higher nitrogen content.
Made into an emulsion from fish byproducts, this organic plant food contains protein that is broken down by beneficial soil microorganisms, such as bacteria, worms, and fungi.1 In turn, these microbes improve aeration and create nutrient-rich soil for healthier, robust plants.
Be careful when applying too much of it, though. If your soil already contains high levels of nitrogen, applying too much fish emulsion can cause nitrogen “burn” and affect growth.2
If you are not sure what condition your soil is in, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service to arrange a soil test, use a home soil test, or hire a professional to examine the soil.
