As opposed to as a drench. Is It more effective foliar fed then if you did so by drench?

Foliar allows uptake through the leaves. Drench through the roots.

Does anyone know if it is more effective when drenched as opposed to being fed foliar?

When you feed foliar some becomes drench :)

Heard that leaves are healthier if sprayed with fish,the plant would absorb less with a foliar than a drench so maybe its to strong for soil use. just guessing

:) Linus. I ask, because where I am, the less moisture on leaves the better...it's very humid here during growing season. So I'm trying to figure out if the plant will 'get more out of it' if I do the fish as a drench.

plants absorb more nutrients through their roots than through their leaves. You can absorb nutrients through your skin, too, but that is not the most effective way.

Dandytown, 3 pound carp spray the best with the soft skin they still have.

Linus,
I'll bet that those Pumpkinseeds are a less impact fert than some of these others mentioned.
