I don't know if you have a "Franks" in Missouri. They are the largest chain nursery here in Minnesota, and they began carring a fish emulsion this year. I have not seen it a Home Depot.They are just breaking ground on the first Lowes in our area.

I had to call a few of them, but Lowes a few miles away has it.

$5.99 per quart

I will post what I purchased later. Maybe this will help someone else.

One more thing...
I am sure this bottle comes with directions (like don't rub it all over you and expect to get in bed with the wife), but when and how much should I apply? Like I said, I'm sure it has directions, but I thought I would some of you who are already using it.

Our current conditions:
Rain the last 2-3 days, ground saturated. Expecting more tonight.

Allright...
I went to Home Depot (it was closer)

Alaska Fish Fertilizer
All purpose deoderized fish emulsion

One Quart

Any suggestions on applicating from more experienced growers would be appreciated.

Joe,
The directions show different application amounts depending on what you're using it on. I have a "Miracle-Gro" type sprayer attachment (forget the brand name) that has a dial where you pick your amount per gallon and it dispenses it accordingly...I set mine for 2-3 tbs and spray foliar and also a drench around the vines. Hope this helps, but go with that general amount.
