where do you buy fish meal?

[KatyTheChickenLady]

Does it come in different forms? and also how about kelp?

I think you should be able to find fishmeal at a garden center or nursery. I know walmart, home depot and lowes carry bonemeal and bloodmeal but not fishmeal. As for the kelp I haven't a clue. You can also get this stuff called fish emulsion (the smell is disgusting) you mix with water and use on plants and veggies.

Go to the Fertrell website & see if you have any dealers in your area for their feed ingredients. I have a local Amish guy who sells feed and I can buy Fish meal, kelp or poultry nutribalancer.

thanks! I did go to that website, the closest dealer is 317 miles away; I'm going to call them this morning and see if they have any customers my way. They do seem to be the most professsional supplement dealer I've found.

Go to a good feed mill, the mills that makes some of there own feeds they will have it... It will all so be alot cheaper in price than getting in on line...
Kelp meal, some mill will have it but not all of them. You can see if health food stores around you have it...

We found one mill that had it today . . . does 50.00 for a 50# bag seem high?

 

[Chris09]

That sound about what we pay here.
50 lbs should last you a long time.

That's not bad. I pay $45 from the Amish farmer.
