Natures Wisdom Fish & Seaweed Plus Gallon

After waiting over a week for my order, instead of this product the seller sent me MaxiCrop Liquid Fish Fertilizer, which is not the blend I ordered and easy to get locally. Looking forward to them rectifying my order and will update this review as soon as they do.

This is a *super* concentrated organic liquid fertilizer. It's almost perfect, as it contains several components that I would have had to purchase separately and combine myself (hydrolyzed fish, seaweed extract, molasses, AC vinegar, and humic and fulvic acids. The only thing it lacks is some kind of compost (like worm casting tea). I was very happy to find this product so that I didn't have to buy 5 different products and combine them.I was under the impression that it wouldn't be as smelly as regular fish emulsion (not sure why I thought that!), but it is, unfortunately. It's the strongest-smelling fertilizer I've ever used, but after it's diluted it's not too bad (if you're not extremely sensitive to smells, that is). It's so super-concentrated that this one gallon will last a very long time. I was hesitant to make the purchase because of the price, though. To recoup some costs, I sold 32 ounces of it to a fellow gardener locally, so that's an idea for those who can't afford a gallon or don't need that much at once. Just see if anyone else would like to go in on the product with you. One 32-ounce portion should be enough for one backyard gardener for at least one growing season (that's 32 gallons of finished product that can be applied to the leaves or to the soil). I use it on my seedlings (in their potting medium) and on the leaves of older plants. I have had good results so far, even owing to the fact that I used a soil-based potting mix (NOT recommended for starting seeds indoors).Some plants may be too sensitive for foliar feeding with something like this. If it seems your plants don't like it, try to dilute it further or just apply it to the soil rather than the leaves. If using as a foliar spray, the underside of the leaves should be sprayed as this is where the plant's "pores" are located. The stems can also be sprayed. Foliar feeding with this type of fertilizer should greatly reduce disease and stress, and may even help to repel insects.I don't advise using this as a foliar spray on wild blueberry bushes. I have 4 blueberry bushes this year and they all did fine with the fertilizer except for the wild blueberry species; it reacted horribly to it. I think that's because it's not a "cultivated" variety and isn't used to being fertilized in such a way.{Edited to add: The reason I mentioned the price and how expensive it was is because I paid $100 plus shipping for this product. !! After writing the review, I clicked on the product and noticed it's being sold for $35 plus shipping. Obviously, this is a huge difference, and the fertilizer is *definitely* worth the current price. Needless to say, I'm not happy about paying so much more for it just one month ago. I've written to the seller and asked for reimbursement; I will update my review after receiving a response from them. I won't change the 5-star status for now because the product is good-quality and I have faith that the seller will make things right with my purchase.}{Edit #2: I have received a (fast) response from the seller and will be getting reimbursed for the difference in price. It seems that the product was new on their lineup and they hadn't worked out a good price for it yet. They were very courteous and assure me that my card will be credited. Thank you very much, AG Organics.}
