Fish emulsion application

BigVanVader · April 30, 2015

I was curious as to how the fine folks here apply fish emulsion/kelp to there tomatoes. I got several jugs for my Birthday and so I would like to start fertilizing my in ground plants with it.

For in ground applications should I dilute it or just apply it straight then water in? I should add that my beds are lasagna style layered cardboard/manure/leaves/hay/manure, and a few are topped with rabbit droppings. My concern is that with so much brown material it may cause a nitrogen shortage and I figure either way the fish emulsion wont hurt. Any advice appreciated!
