The kelp has so many benefits I would use it along with the fish fertilizer. Over the years I have moved over to the more concentrated powdered kelp fertilizer from RAW. Because it lasts longer and is cheaper and stores better. Also I had a record pumpkin grower once tell me you can foliar feed anything as long as it is under 250ppm. Just fyi, and of coarse never foliar feed when the sun is up high.
Please STOP!..enough of this nonsense…
I you use seasol, miracle grow or any other seaweed based fertiliser sure it will introduce minerals but also it inundates area with salts in copious amounts that only cause more long term deterioration to the soil and soil microbes doing these methods consecutively.
This simplest fastest lowest cost and highest beneficial thing to use that does not will not and cannot harm your plants if sprayed or watered and enhances microbial ecology in soil is WORM TEA LEACHATE, and you cannot overdose anything with it!
Open your eyes and your mind and have a good look around you at how nature does it best!
So STOP with this nonsense ridiculous mindset of buy this buy that all because you've been told to do so from BIG CORPORATIONS.
If you really desire to play GOD and want to do your part in controlling something then use what is given in nature…
Use WORM TEA LEACHATE,
Start a worm compost tower and all your growing problems are solved.
☝️This knowledge is inbuilt in everyone and you ALL need to take a step back and look at it properly.
Your plants will grow bigger, faster,stronger and the soil skin of the earth will stay healthy providing all with food produce as intended 🙏❤️👍
I am collecting, using and selling rabbit urine for foliar feeding.
Not sure if you covered this before but can you do a video covering both granular and foliage fertilizer schedule for potted citrus?
That cordless fogger is such a great tool I’m definitely going to add that to my tool shed!!
Plants have no method for absorption through the leaves. It doesn’t rain fertilizer so why would a plant evolve to absorb through the leaves?
What do you think about neem oil mixed with it
it is helpful. Thanks !
There's no way that such a tiny amount of fertilizer like 1tbp is enough nutrients and minerals for adult plants when diluted in a gallon of water.
That's like eating half a peanut and thinking it's enough nutrition for a person.
Something just feels off with that.
Nice! Out of curiosity do you apply foliage spray the leaves of your fig trees?
Thanks!
This is new to me. Wow!
Thanks for your video. Very informative 👏. Love watching Dale ❤
Absolutely love using kelp as a foliar spray. You see results immediately! I even spray my seedlings with it and what a difference it makes. You definitely want to use 1tbsp per gallon or you will burn your plants. Thanks for the info!
Hey I just use a hydrolyzed fish fertilizer. It doesn't smell nearly as strong. I also use Fish + Kelp many times with my Tomato and Vegetable fertilizer for a little more of all the goodies. Good video.
Amazon shows the ULV fogger as unavailable/out of stock, with the caption, "we don't know when or if this item will be in stock." Bummer. However there are other models available on the site.
Too complicated
I like to use hydroponic nutrient with a bit of super thrive and micro nutrients.
Very interesting information. Thank you!😊👍
Question – do you do foliar spraying and apply fertilizer to the roots of your trees at the same time, or do you do stagger the fertilizer application process? I live in zone 10a and still have a ways to go before things go dormant here. By the way, your fig trees have made an amazing comeback after you had to severely cut them back after that boring insect invasion. Well done!!
Sound advice, as usual.
Dilute the fish fertilizer with water till its thin as you want and it would be safe for the foger and by the way asome videos love them
It was fascinating to see you utilizing two exact same products I incorporated into my feeding regimen. Well done sir & great minds think alike.
We are getting early morning fog here now, any tips o combining or alternating feed and fungus spray? I have squash, cucumber, beans just starting to flower (male flowers for non-bean).
Helpful post. Thanks!😃 I think Dale was peacefully sunbathing when dad came to play football.😄
Any liquid kelp that is black/dark brown is just a rehydrated alkali extraction of kelp which can be bought cheaply in multiple places as a dry powder. Really just expensive water. A brown kelp extract that is extracted by pressure, not a strong base, will give the most benefits. The dark stuff its basically a weak potassium supplement that provides some micro-nutrients and potentially some hormones, though many are destroyed via the extraction method and drying.
