Neptune's Harvest

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Neptune's Harvest organic fertilizers.

Application

How often should I apply Neptune's Harvest fertilizer?
For best results, apply every 1 to 2 weeks during the active growing season (spring through fall). Consistency is key when feeding soil biology with organic inputs.
What is the dilution rate for fish fertilizer?
The standard dilution is 1 oz (2 tablespoons) of Neptune's Harvest per 1 gallon of water. For seedlings and delicate houseplants, use half the amount (1 tablespoon per gallon).
Can I use it as a foliar spray?
Yes! Foliar feeding is highly recommended, especially with our Liquid Seaweed. Plants can absorb nutrients through their leaves up to 20x more efficiently than through the roots. Apply early morning or late afternoon.

Organic Certification

Are Neptune's Harvest products OMRI Listed?
Yes, the majority of our products are OMRI Listed, meaning they have been independently reviewed and approved for use in certified organic production. Look for the OMRI seal on product labels.
What does OMRI Listed mean?
OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) is an independent nonprofit that reviews products against organic standards. An OMRI Listed product has been approved for use in organic gardening and farming under the National Organic Program (NOP).

Products

What is the difference between Fish Hydrolysate and Fish Emulsion?
Fish emulsion is cooked at high temperatures to extract oils, which destroys many beneficial enzymes, proteins, and vitamins. Our fish hydrolysate (cold-processed) retains all of these natural nutrients — including fish oils — making it vastly superior for soil biology.
Does Neptune's Harvest fish fertilizer have a strong odor?
Because it's cold-processed (not boiled or rotting), it has a mild, earthy, ocean-like scent when first applied. The odor dissipates quickly — usually within 24 hours — as soil microbes break it down. It's far less offensive than traditional fish emulsions.
Will fish fertilizer burn my plants?
No. Because Neptune's Harvest is 100% organic and cold-processed, it will not burn your plants' roots or leaves even if slightly over-applied, unlike synthetic chemical fertilizers.
