What does everyone use? Neptunes, General Organics, Peaceful Valley, Schafer?

Looking for any and all opinions and why you use the product that you do.

Thanks,
Mikkal

I use Tidal kelp meal. I get it cheap from a local seed dealer. I blend it with Epsom salt, borax, and any other micro nutrients like copper, manganese, etc. It makes a good carrier so I can apply those items with a spreader. For fish I use trout, catfish, crappie or other fish I catch and bury the heads and guts deep so the critters don't dig it up. The electric fence helps keep the critters away. It is cheap, seems to help the plants, and gathering the fertilizer is fun.

Last year we used Maxi Crop Soluble. We will use it again this year, but will be using this on at least one plant http://www.wallacewow.com/collections/all/products/seacom-pgr-seaweed-concentrate-0-4-4-32-oz after talking to Ron Wallace.

I have always used Neptunes, it might not be the best but it is a solid choice and gets good reviews. I am also going check out and see what Ron Wallace has - his numbers don't lie.

Same here - Neptune's

BTW Neptunes has a couple of new Fish/Seaweed fert's. This one with mollases, humates, and yucca:

Reading a greenhouse grower magazine, they featured a new Neptunes's "Tomato and Vegetable" formula "with micros" formula which will be coming out later this year.

I think it is 9.25 for 8 oz. plus 16.00 to upgrade to 32oz giving you the $25.25 . I have never seen it termed that way before. They seem to be very obliging folks.
