Question 2

what is the shelf life

Accepted Answer

From the manufacturer's website FAQ - Our liquid fertilizers have an indefinite shelf-life, until water is added. Always shake well before use. The longer the product is stored, the better you'll have to shake it up.

Question 3

I like the looks of the reviews but, the smell wouldn't bother me if it works, will it attract bears and raccoons?

Accepted Answer

This is the hydrolyzed fish and seaweed Mix. It doesn't smell bad when you first mix it up, just be sure to use it all at one time. I mean make small batches like a gallon at a time or quart. Use it all don't let it sit in a container. It then will stink! I haven't had any problems with wildlife. The only thing that might attract is flies.

Question 4

Where does the fish come from? I am trying to avoid pacific fish because of the Japanese power plant melt-down

Accepted Answer

This is what it says on the bottle and their website:  "Neptune's Harvest is a division of Ocean Crest Seafoods Inc., established in 1965 as a wholesale fish and seafood company. Still today, our Neptune's Harvest Organic Fertilizer gets made from fresh caught North Atlantic fish right on the docks of Gloucester, MA. Unlike a fish emulsion,our fertilizers are produced using a unique cold process "without cooking out all the good stuff". Best of all, it works great on everything that grows!"So it's a Massachusetts fishing industry byproduct! :)
