Down to Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1 | 5lb - (Case of 5)

Solution-Grade Fish Protein Powder for Drench, Foliar, and Fertigation Use, 5lb

Liquid fish fertilizer works well but is bulky to store and ship relative to the nitrogen it delivers, and it can't always be run cleanly through drip or fertigation lines. Down To Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1 solves both problems at once — enzymatically hydrolyzed and spray-dried fish protein concentrated into a soluble powder that dissolves for foliar spraying, soil drenching, or filtered fertigation application.

The 5lb size, sold as a case of five, suits growers with larger vegetable plantings, greenhouse operations, or irrigation systems applying Fish Powder regularly as part of a fertility program.

Key Features & Benefits

• Solution-grade soluble powder — dissolves in water for drenching, foliar spraying, or fertigation delivery.
• Enzymatically hydrolyzed fish protein — processed with enzymes rather than heat, preserving amino acids and organic nitrogen.
• More concentrated than liquid fish — delivers more nitrogen per unit of product and is lighter to store and ship.
• Broad plant compatibility — usable on vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, and turf grass.

Who Should Use Down To Earth Fish Powder 12-1-1

This fits growers who want a soluble, high-nitrogen fish-derived fertilizer that runs cleanly through drip and fertigation systems, avoiding the bulk and handling issues that come with liquid fish fertilizers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Fish Powder different from liquid fish fertilizer?

It's more concentrated, delivering more nitrogen per unit of product, and as a dry powder it's lighter and easier to store and ship than liquid fish fertilizer. It still provides the same plant-available organic nitrogen and amino acid profile fish sources are known for.

How is Fish Powder 12-1-1 used with drip irrigation systems?

Dissolve and filter it before running it through drip, fertigation, or sprinkler systems, since adequate filtration helps prevent emitter clogging. It can also be applied as a straightforward soil drench without irrigation equipment.

What does enzymatically hydrolyzed mean for this product?

Enzymatic hydrolyzation breaks down fish protein into smaller, more plant-available forms using enzymes rather than heat or harsh chemicals. That processing method helps preserve the amino acid profile compared to heat-based extraction.

Can Fish Powder be used as a foliar spray?

Yes, dissolve it in water and apply as a foliar spray when nitrogen needs to reach the leaf surface quickly. It can also be combined with soluble seaweed powder or biological inoculants as part of a broader fertility program.

What plant types is Fish Powder 12-1-1 suited for?

It's suited to vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, vines, and turf grass, making it broadly applicable wherever nitrogen supplementation or deficiency correction is needed. Its soluble form makes it equally practical for a container garden or a full irrigation-fed field.
