Sorry, I don't think fish poop counts in this thread.

You are probably right. But there is lots of algae in the water!

I checked into the possibility of picking up from them as well, but they are not permitted to sell directly from their location. Typically these are restrictions some businesses have to agree to when getting all their permits to operate. I have another company I buy from regularly that's located 20 miles from me and they are under similar restrictions. If I want their products, I have to pay to have them shipped to me!

Last year I finally decided to just go ahead and buy a gallon jug as it was cheaper than buying the small bottles.

Ok, I see where you're going, Kelp is algae, so your aquarium algae are like kelp...hmm no.
Maybe if you put your fish in a blender, they'll be like fish hydrolysate!

Default Neptune facebook page

Great news they finally have a facebook page, as Carolyn said the original man who starting this company has given it to his kids. This is so funny i will post this Bluefish are not nice to eat to strong and really oiling like Duck. But in Gloucester they have this in summer 2012 Lanesville Bluefish Tournament, Gloucester
The team using Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer, as chum, won again!

Well its a turtle Aquarium! I don't think my 100 year old blender could handle the shell!

Was just teasing you anyway. I know my poor man's solution to kelp and sea weed concoctions isn't the same. But I like my solution. Lets me put a good use to the water when I clean the tank! And if you don't tell my tomatoes it isn't the real stuff, I won't either! I have them thoroughly convinced they are being babied by the best high tech organic fertilizers available!

Our liquid fertilizers have an indefinite shelf-life, until water is added. Always shake well before use. The longer the product is stored, the better you’ll have to shake it up.

I bury fish guts, heads, and carcasses in the garden. I've never had a problem with animals (knock on wood). The tomatoes seem to love it. I wonder if the commercial product is all that different.

Of course, a visitor would be mighty confused by the 5-gallon buckets of filleted flounder that my neighbor occasionally leaves on the porch...

Nativeplanter, its my understanding that the Native American's also did this to fertilize the soil.

I have raccoons and would not do this. they have a good enough time digging through my beds for the worms in the soil. Imagine if I buried fish guts

So I have a 50" trap sitting in my living room waiting for a retrofit this afternoon.
