Question 1

will this fertilizer work on evergreen trees

Accepted Answer

I guess the easy answer is yes. A 5-1-1- formula really can't hurt much of any plants. The deeper question is why use this type of fertilizer on an evergreen tree in the first place. Evergreens live in an environment that primarily have a somewhat acidic soil. They don't need a fish emulsion based fertilizer, but they do like lots of nitrogen for their tremendous growth potential. And most established evergreen trees really don't need extra fertilizer anyway, and a 5-1-1- formula won't do much, if anything. I hope that helps.

Question 4

I have stray cats in my neighborhood that enter my yard during spring/summer.  Will they attack my container plants if I use this product?

Accepted Answer

Premier 1 fencing.  It will keep them all out of your garden.  Ya if you have a large garden  it will cost a lot but it does keep the critters out.  I have 2 acres in Steuben County NY just 1 mile from PA border.  rich boy ouws all the land around me and feeds deer.  To have a garden I had to spend 4 grand and put up a primer 1 deer fence all around.  Then inside that fence I have other fences around gardens to keep my cats out and more fences to keep my chickens in..  al told i have about 6 grand in fencing but i have my food supply protected from wide animals.  I figure I will make my money back in about five years.  My two acres is all food little or no grass.  I sell about half of what I grow. Use a lot of fish fertilizer.  Have lived here for 20 years now.  Ground just getting real good.
