What's the deal with this stuff? Looks like good stuff at a bargain price. You Amsoil folks ever used it before?

I would love to try some. It is made in Wisconsin but cannot be sold in Wisconsin because of some stupid law. Go figure.
I'm wondering how long I can extend fertilizer applications with this stuff?

Never had cause to use it myself. Michael Sparks does a decent amount of business with the AGgrand line.
Anyone know if this can be used with drip irrigation? I've been using fish emulsion without any problems, but was wondering if this would clog my filter. It looks to be more balanced than the emulsion product I am using.

Smells bad but we have used it since 06, with great flowers and produce as a result.
I have used it in the past and had a few people use it as well. It really perks things up. I think it's pretty good stuff. I have used it watering in the soil and spraying it on the outside of the plants and was happy with both methods.
It does have some odor, but it's not too bad. If you use it on houseplants you can notice the odor more.
The Sea Kelp gives it good kick. I do notice that it's hard to get all the product out of the bottle.
I'm cheap and like to get my monies worth, so I rinse out the bottles.

So this stuff wouldn't work to well out of a hose end sprayer? It's kind of chunky?
I wonder how the fertilizer does on an extended period basis and if there is any 4-ball wear test data to confirm it.
The infamous 4 root ball test for plants?
I have used the sprayer that screws on the 1 qt bottles. It clogs sometimes though. I bought the sprayer nozzles many years ago. Maybe they have new ones now.
I agree it's kind of chunky at times. But the stuff beats chemical fertilizers.

Thanks for the info, sounds like it'll clog up my filter pretty good then.

I have diluted it with water in another empty bottle. It seems to work OK.
I just don't add water to any that I will not use immediately.
How fine is the filter?

I use it and like it a lot.
Wish I would have used it more, but it seemed to do great for our crops, for how much I used.
It is thick and smells rough, but that's all the good stuff in it!
I'd highly recommend trying it, especially if you are used to using Miracle Grow or something similar. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

It's a fine mesh filter. I am currently using Alaska Fish Fertilizer and it is like a pretty thick liquid. There aren't any particles big enough to be trapped in the filter and I haven't had any problems with emitters clogging.
Also, I was curious what the application rate was on the Amsoil fertilizer? The Alaska Fish Fert is 2 tablespoons per 25 sq ft every 3-4 weeks, according to the label.

I thought this thread would be about some of Amsoils claims being "organic fertilizer".....

Don't know about that, but it does well on tomatoes.

Found this thread through a search. Thanks to Gary Allan for the mention.
The stuff works. Once you understand the biology behind it you will see why. Increased microbial activity gives allows more nutrient absorption to the plant.
Go find Rodale's Guide to Organic Gardening and start reading.
Hardest part is competing with the brain washed (by big AG chemical Corp) college students. Everyone else sees with their own eyes.
