Listen "103 Is Fish Fertilizer Safe? The Buckeye Tree."
Episode Synopsis
Liquid fish fertilizer (fish emulsion), is a popular way to feed your plants. But is it safe to foliar feed your edible greens with it…and then eat those greens? Soil professional Steve Zien advocates for the fishy stuff, along with a dollop of sea weed. And, it's always a good idea to thoroughly rinse and wash all your garden produce before serving it. The Plant of the Week is the buckeye tree, one very eccentric plant. It’s all on episode 103 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you by Smart Pots and Dave Wilson Nursery. And we will do it all in under 30 minutes.
