Fish/Kelp Fertilizer

I live in Ocean County. Does anyone know where I can purchase fish/kelp fertilizer locally? If I order it on-line I pay almost as much for shipping as the fertilizer costs. Anywhere in Ocean, Monmouth, or Burlington counties would be good.

    2 places I've seen either or both:

    Molzon Landscape Nursery
    140 Middletown- Lincroft Road
    Lincroft, NJ 07738
    732-741-9098

    Dearborn Farms
    2170 Route 35 (on southbound side)
    Holmdel Twp
    NJ 07733
    732-264-0256

    I bought only the liquid seaweed (Kelp) @ Dearborn for a foliar spray but have had to spray so much deer/rabbit/groundhog repellant on my dwindling flower plants haven't been able to use it much. Adding odiferous fish emulsion would attract even more critters including cats. Don't need them digging where others are already eating...LOL.

    I have seen the fish emulsion alone but you could buy both and mix or alternate them I suppose. Don't recall seeing combined product but might have missed it.

    I included phone numbers so you don't take a hike for nothing if they don't have it.

    One place I got a few plants and couple who run it are very nice and husband knows his plants. They had some supplies but didn't see if they had fish/kelp fertilizer:

    Holly Brook Farms & Garden Center
    2023 State Route 35 (on southbound side below Rt. 138)
    Wall Township, NJ 07719
    (732) 449-1316ý

    Guess you've called Big Woods Garden Center & Nursery... saw it on search for Ocean County nurseries:
    227 Brynmore Road
    New Egypt, NJ 8533
    County: Ocean County
    Phone: (609) 758-3886

    Good luck...know what you mean about the shipping costs getting out of hand. Never found NJ Greensand anywhere so had to get it online but waited for a "free shipping with some minimum purchase" when I ordered a bunch of things I knew I'd use in the next months or year.

    I have purchased dry kelp meal at Forcellati's in Wall (just a little north of Circus Drive-in) and I know that they have fish emulsion too.

    You might also try taking a look at the Neptune's Harvest site to see if the costs/shipping are too high. It is a very high quality product.

    Becker Hardware and Brock Farms, both on Rt. 34 in Colts Neck.
