In this video we show how we use fish emulsion, mixed with water, and poured over the leaves at dusk help add nitrogen to leaves, facilitate large growth and health to your avocado tree leaves. An expensive hydroponic fertilizer Heavy 16 was added to the Hass Tree and fish emulsion to the others. We’ll check back in later videos to see the progress.

Fish Emulsion is great tip. I find that a spray bottle works better for foliar feeding small trees.
