| After a diluted fish emulsion application to the soil around your roses, do you water again or just let it sit? Won't a heavy watering after just wash the emulsion down and away? I know you water after granular fert application but was always curious about liquid applications to the soil. |

| this is a question that can be answered with your own gardener instincts. I have well draining soil. I just used my fish seaweed emulsion in August with a watering can. Also i used it in the spray two weeks later. It worked great. |
|
| I water really well before I use liquid fertilizers but not after. I only water after I put down dry fertilizers to get it to dissolve some. |
|
| I also do not water afterwards after applying LIquid fertilizers... But like Seil I make sure the soil is moist before applying. Here in our cooler climate with clay soil I actually water the day before applying liquid fertilizer... |
|
| I'm with seil and jim1961: water plants very well before fertilizing (and before fungicide application, for that matter). |
