"Feeding the soil to feed the plant"Thanks for stopping by our web site. Please let me introduce myself. My name is Bob Greig. My family and I live in the beautiful Matanuska Valley near the town of Palmer, Alaska which is situated 40 miles northeast of Anchorage. I have farmed here since 1979. Four of those years were on a dairy farm, the rest have been spent raising potatoes.
White cod bonemeal fish fertilizer is a natural waste by-product of the fishing industry. It is made from cod grown in some of the coldest and cleanest waters of the world, the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. It is manufactured so as to preserve nutrients and will economically strengthen and build the soil over time, leaving the soil more fruitful rather than robbing it's fertility.
**Because our experience with the retail market has shown that
the term "bonemeal" translates into "traditional
steamed bonemeal", no matter how hard we try to convince
people that white cod bonemeal is NOT JUST a bonemeal, we have
changed our name to Alaskan Granular Fish. This
will allow expansion to other kinds of fish besides cod as the
market indicates.

In 1987 I started looking for an alternative to
chemical fertilizers. Having had good results using salmon meal
as a protein supplement for dairy cows, it seemed reasonable to
look to the fishing industry for a fertilizer. Those stories of
the Native Americans teaching the Pilgrims to grow corn using
fish for fertilizer came to mind. I discovered it really works!
After several years of farm trials with various fish by-products
I settled on white cod bonemeal. I found it gave the best results
of any fertilizer products I used. Results were equally
impressive on our vegetable and flower gardens, and we began
sharing it with other local farmers.
As a third generation farmer in the United States, I
recognize the need to practice regenerative agriculture. For the
past eight years I have tested and proven the effectiveness of
white cod bonemeal fish fertilizer. I use it exclusively in our
own regenerative program growing red potatoes and have found, as
others have, that effectiveness intensifies with use. For the
past five years we have experienced weather extremes, as have
other parts of the world. In 1992, an early killing frost
destroyed much of the potato crop. The past four years have
brought drought conditions. Soils fed white cod bonemeal have
brought forth better yields than those dressed with other
fertilizers, and the crops have handled the stress better.
I do not believe
that fertilizer alone can bring fertility and balance to
the soil, no matter how good it is. I am convinced, however, that
organic Alaska fish fertilizer used as part of a regenerative
soil building program will do this without sacrificing yield and
crop quality. Believing this, I started Alaska Sea-Ag
to promote and market white cod bonemeal. It is now my goal to
make organic Alaska fish fertilizer affordably available to
anyone desiring to improve their soil. Alaskan Granular
Fish** is available in 5 pound bags for small gardens,
50 pound bags for larger areas; and in ton lots for ease of
storage and transportation.
This product is more than ordinary bonemeal. This
fish fertilizer blended from fish meal and fish bones gives you
nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, a small amount of potassium, and
many micronutrients. It has been proven effective on carrots,
potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, peas, lawns,
pastures, hay fields, flowers, bulbs, shrubs, and fruit trees
here in Alaska.
The use
of white cod bonemeal has long term benefits. It aids biological
life in the soil, encouraging earthworms and the proper breakdown
of organic matter; thereby producing better aeration and tilth.
Over several years, soil seems to "hold together"
better. It actually seems to release potassium that is already
present in the soil, offsetting the drawbacks of fish
fertilizers' normally low potassium levels.
