    Alaska fish is a 5-1-1 fertilizer and is 100% organic. 5-1-1 means that it has 5% Nitrogen, 1 % Phosphorus, and 1 % Potassium. This fertilizer delivers the nutrients the plant needs to grow healthy and strong. It also nourishes microorganisms that are in the soil.

    2-Gallon  Watering Can
    Water Hose
    Watering Nozzle

    Instructions:

    Shake Alaska Fertilizer bottle well. Add 2 tbsp. of fertilizer liquid into 2-gallon water can. Add water using a nozzle. By the time you fill the can with water the fertilizer will get mixed by pouring water into a can.

    Make an indent in the soil around each plant so the fertilized  mixture will not run away. Pour about 1 quart of fertilizer under each vegetable plant. Fertilize the growing plants about once every 2 – 3 weeks.

    This fertilizer leaves a strong fishy odor which usually disappears the next day. Using this fertilizer can attract uninvited guests like neighbor’s cats, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, ect... Be sure to keep your small farm animals like chickens inside the safe fenced place overnight if you don’t want them to disappear!
