Fish Meal 8-6-0 All Natural Fertilizer is the organic way to push early-season growth when plants need nitrogen and root support. This Down To Earth blend delivers 8% total nitrogen and 6% available phosphate, plus 5% calcium, making it especially useful at planting time for vegetables, flowers, and young shrubs. Because it’s fish meal, it breaks down gradually as soil biology gets to work, providing a steadier feed than quick-hit soluble products. We recommend it for spring bed prep and transplanting days when you want plants to establish fast and keep moving.

This fertilizer is easy to work into the top few inches of soil, and it fits a lot of garden styles, including raised beds, in-ground rows, and larger containers. The phosphorus helps support rooting and flower set, while the nitrogen keeps leafy crops and ornamentals from stalling early on. Use it as a base amendment, then come back with lighter side-dressing during the season if growth calls for it.

Product Tips

  • Work it into the top 3 inches of soil before planting so it’s in the active root zone.
  • For transplants, mix a small amount into the hole backfill rather than placing it directly against roots.
  • Side-dress monthly during the growing season if you’re supporting heavy feeders.
  • Water after application to activate soil microbes and keep the amendment from sitting dry on the surface.
  • Store sealed in a cool, dry spot, and keep it out of reach of pets due to the fish-based ingredients.

FAQs

What does 8-6-0 help with most?

It’s best for early leafy growth and root development; nitrogen supports top growth, and phosphorus supports rooting and flowering.

What plants can I use it on?

It’s recommended for vegetable gardens, flower beds, lawns, trees, and shrubs—basically most outdoor plantings.

Is the nitrogen fast or slow?

It’s primarily water insoluble nitrogen, so it feeds more gradually as the soil breaks it down.

This product comes in a 4-pound package.

Does it include calcium?

Yes, the guaranteed analysis lists 5.0% calcium.
