NEW WORLD RECORD PUMPKIN!
 |
We grew the world record 1818.5 pumpkin in 2011 using products from Neptune Harvest. We especially like the fish and seaweed fertilizer the leaves looked healthier within hours of application. We have a small flower garden and they looked amazing as well!

I wanted to let you know I used the Neptune’s Harvest products to grow the new World Record Giant Pumpkin! It weighed in at 1810.5 lbs. and beat the old world record by 85.5 lbs.!
Neptune’s Harvest is a nice fit for several reasons. First and foremost your company offers a diverse product line of high-end products that can accommodate anyone from the novice grower on a tight budget to the seasoned veteran using the most complex fertilizer program.
My results have shown the liquid fish product to perform beyond my expectations! The results both in my garden and around my yard, have been simply amazing!
The most noticeable benefit of using the Neptune’s Harvest fish is the color/sheen to our pumpkin plant leaves.
Before using the Neptune’s Harvest the leaves would be more of a dull green. As a result of using the Neptune’s Harvest the leaves are shiny and beautiful. They almost look fake. We know our plants are more healthy when using the Neptune’s Harvest than without. We also never achieved a weight like this before using your products.
The maple tree experiment was perhaps the most eye opening as to what the product can do. We planted a 2 inch tall maple tree in our yard this year early June. The tree received Neptune’s Harvest fish/seaweed on a weekly basis. By mid-September the tree was nearly 2 feet tall. The growth and health of the tree was simply amazing!
Thank you,

I believe foliar spraying soybeans with Neptune's Harvest Liquid Fish Fertilizer gives you three major benefits:
- 1: Larger and greener leaves
- 2: A healthy plant
- 3: Higher test weight
My beans for the last three years (2008-2010), regardless of the weather, have weighed 57# to the bushel. I feel the fish fertilizer is well worth the cost.

Here are a few pictures of the flowers I grew this year with the help of Neptune's Harvest Fish & Seaweed Blend Fertilizer. This was the first time I had ever used it and I was so pleased with the results. The window boxes on the front of the house are filled with white impatiens, and the other two window boxes are primarily geraniums. If we don't get a killing frost soon, we won't be able to see out the windows!
They did so well this year, much better than previous years when I used Miracle-Gro. Your product is amazing and I have recommended it to everyone. Thanks so much! :-)
Thanks again,

My wife and I, who are growers of soldier beans (10 acres) and soybeans
(10 acres), have been so amazed by our yield this year on the fields
where we sprayed Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish Fertilizer that we are
planning to increase to 50 acres of each in the Spring of 2011.
Seventeen to twenty-four pods per bean plant is unheard of, but that's
just what we are getting. Other growers in the area are actually coming
here to see for themselves what our fields are doing.
One thing we noticed about our fields was that you can see the
difference where we had not sprayed and where we started spraying by the
colour of the plants: YELLOW where we had not sprayed with
Neptune's Harvest and GREEN where we had. Our fields, sprayed
with Neptune's Harvest, are still a lush green.
Because of the remarkable qualities of Neptune's Harvest, we found that
it is not necessary for growers to use binders as they have in the past
in conjunction with their spray.
We were also impressed by the fact that in the summer before I sprayed
with Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer, I noticed swarms of black
insects on my soldier bean plants. Later that day, I sprayed with
Neptune's Harvest and the next day, on examining my plants, there were
no more black insects that day or for the rest of the season.
We are so confident in Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish Fertilizer that we highly recommend it to all growers.
Sincerely
Peggy and Jeff Graham

As I am on my way out to fertilize, I just have to say that this is the best fertilized we have ever used! Things literally seem to grow overnight!
The sales associates at my local garden center recommend it over all other products, and the results speak for theselves. I would recommend it to anyone.

His Great Pumpkin is 1,900 lbs. (and still growing).
Today Show, Oct. 6, 2008
Every year my soil tests indicate a need for amendments and replenishments because in this sport of extreme Giant Pumpkin gardening I know that the roots of my plants are always searching the surrounding soil rhizosphere, for nutrient sources in order to produce some exceptionally large Atlantic Giant fruits.
So to keep up with the demands of my plants by using fast acting Neptune’s Harvest fertilizers, and I keep a couple aged leaf compost piles ready to use. They are usually packed with red wriggler worms, and nutrient rich worm
castings. But I think the foliar applications of Organic Neptune’s
Harvest Fish and Seaweed, are most important, for my plants health.
My young Pumpkin Plants and leaves were always very healthy, green,
and fast growing, after spraying a Neptune’s Harvest
Fish/Seaweed/Compost solution on them.
This year I increased the foliar spray applications of Neptune’s Fish and
Seaweed to my plants, from weekly to almost a biweekly rate during
July and August but mostly during early August when the Giant
Pumpkins entered their Rapid Growth Phase. For 2 weeks this plant
was growing at about 40 lbs per day. I firmly believe foliar
sprayed Neptune’s Harvest seaweed helped to keep the vigor in the
green leaves, and the roots healthy; while the Pumpkin was drawing
so much energy out of the ground, that the dirt would be dry at the
end of every mid summer day. And my 1568 pound Giant Pumpkin, which
was receiving more of your organic Fish emulsion fertilizer than my
other plants just would not stop growing, while the plant leaves
remained green, healthy, and somewhat mildew resistant, up till late
September. Unfortunately a small area of this pumpkin, under the
stem was a little over ripe and a small leak was noted at the Fair,
so it was displayed for exhibition only. But the fact remains that
she did grow to an amazing weight, and it was the largest Giant
Pumpkin grown in the world, in 2008.
Thanks again,
Steve Connolly

Check out the
pumpkin I grew this year in a 400 square foot patch! It weighed 855
pounds and was the 4th heaviest in Utah for 2008. This is my 5th
year growing Atlantic Giants and my previous best was 404 pounds in
2007. That's a 451 pound gain in one year! My 855 also weighed 17%
over the OTT estimate!
One of the only things I did differently this year was that I religiously applied
Neptune's Harvest Fish/Seaweed Blend to the leaves, stems and vines
once a week. I also applied the Fish/Seaweed Blend to the soil in
April as a drench prior to planting. I also used the Fish/Seaweed
Blend on my tomatoes, banana squash and cucumbers with great
success. I did not use any other liquid or chemical fertilizers in
2008 and it was my best garden yet. The leaves on my plants were
the biggest and healthiest I've ever had, which I believe
dramatically increased the plant's energy production for fruit
growth.
I've read many
other testimonials about your products on your website, and how they
really increase plant performance. Please add me to the long list
of Neptune's Harvest success stories! I've already ordered my
Neptune's Harvest products for next year!

To Neptune’s Harvest
I could hardly believe my eyes when these
enormous Sweet Potatoes, weighing between 4 and 6 Lbs., emerged from
our little Organic Garden in October 2008.
My Organic Gardening partner, Maureen, and I
thought we would take a chance to grow some Sweet Potatoes at a
small Community Garden, owned by Ann Fisk, in Rockport,
Massachusetts, in May of this year. Ordinarily, Sweet Potatoes
prefer the long, warm growing seasons of the Mid-Atlantic States, so
we did not expect to have a great deal of success with these in our
short-seasoned climate. In a mound of soil enhanced with compost,
then covered with a black plastic sheet with holes cut through, we
planted the rootstocks, called ‘Georgia Jets’, which were ordered
from Jung’s Supply Catalog. We started feeding them with Neptune’s
Harvest and continued to do so – according to the directions on the
label – approximately every other week. These are the results, in
only five months. We had hoped to have just a few at best. We
harvested bucketfuls of various sizes. We are, of course, more than
a bit amazed. And we have been met with ‘stunned’ expressions when
showing these huge anomalies around the Community.

The benefits of applying Neptune’s Harvest has
been shown in other areas of the Garden also. We are still
harvesting green leafy vegetables, in October, such as Swiss Chard,
which were planted in April. During the hot, dry summer months,
those plants had shown some signs of fatigue, however, in the days
following their feeding of Neptune’s Harvest they would stand tall
and firm. We have also had great success with Brussels sprouts,
which had failed in previous years, yet have grown to nearly five
feet tall this year.
Another surprising example of the benefits of
using Neptune’s Harvest was shown in the recent recovery of a Tomato
Plant which a friend had in his yard that had produced only two
pieces of fruit by mid-season and had essentially stopped growing.
We began feeding it with Neptune’s Harvest in early August. The
Tomatoes that plant eventually produced, in mid-October, filled
nearly half of a large paper shopping bag.
As a proletarian Gardener, it is quite apparent
that the value of the additional production gained by the
application of Neptune’s Harvest far exceeds the purchasing cost.
Our need for utilizing supplemental fertilizer has been found in
just this one item. We have been practicing our chemical-free,
Organic Gardening techniques for many years. The results we have
seen from using Neptune’s Harvest can reasonably explain how 5 Lb.
Sweet Potatoes can be grown in New England’s climate. Much
appreciation is had for the folks at Neptune’s Harvest for providing
Organic Gardeners with such an extraordinary product.

These tomato were not only HUGE (almost 2 lbs. each),
they were the sweetest, most delicious tomatoes I’ve ever eaten. I
cut some up one night and passed them around at a party, with
nothing but a little salt and pepper. My friends could not get
enough of them. I kept having to go back to the kitchen and cut up
more, because they just kept disappearing.
Luckily, because of your products, I had plenty.
Thank you Neptune’s Harvest. This was my first try at a
garden, and you made me look like I knew what I was doing.

Below are
testimonials from Joe Jutras and Don Young, growers
of the two largest pumpkins in the
world in 2007
|
Dear Neptune’s Harvest
Once again, your natural fertilizing products helped me to grow
a new world record! This year, I grew a giant pumpkin weighing 1689
lbs!!
I started out this year with a new patch; I had a long way to
go to bring my loam up to world class potential. First, I did a soil
test to know how much lime and gypsum to use. I then added some cow
manure and some of your 12% humate concentrate along with some
granular kelp for my fall soil prep. In the spring I added another
application of kelp and tilled it all into my soil. |
 |
During the growing season, I fertilized twice weekly with your
seaweed and fish & seaweed blend, using it as a foliar spray and a
drench. I also added humate concentrate to my compost tea
application.
My plants grew vigorous and strong and looked healthy all summer
long! In 11 years of growing giant pumpkins, I have never grown so
many heavy pumpkins in my patch and I owe it all to Neptune‘s
Harvest! Thank you for your wonderful products!
A truly satisfied customer,
Joe Jutras |

Dear Neptune's Harvest,
I have seen a big difference in my garden ever since I started using
Neptune’s Harvest Fish and Seaweed Fertilizers. I can really tell
the difference. Early on my plants were the best looking, healthy
and shiny, with the greenest leaves I’ve ever seen. I have seen the
light!
Years ago I used granular fertilizer and other brands, but
since I’ve used Neptune’s Harvest I know there’s no better product out there. |
 |
|
In 2007, I grew a 1,662-pound
pumpkin, which is the 2nd largest in the world. I also used the Fish
and Seaweed on other vegetables I grew in the garden with
unbelievable yields and quality of tomatoes, onions and sweet corn.
The secret's out!
If you want bigger healthier plants and vegetables
you need Neptune’s Harvest products.

I took this photo with my phone last
night, this is Italian Parsley gone wild! I had already cut it back
once! These are from seeds! The stuff just works unbelievably good.
My wife sad she was going to make a video "Herbs Gone Wild".....said
it would appeal to little old Italian men that live to garden (like
me!).
I really can't believe how good the fertilizer works. I wish I had
taken photos of my herb garden before I thinned it out....my wife
could not believe her eyes! If I remember I will take some
additional shots...I will never use anything else!
Thank you,

I wanted to let you know
I have all my neighbors now purchasing your products. They all asked
how the plants are so healthy and growing so fast. I am a huge fan
of your Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer. It really works better than any
other organic fertilizers I have ever used.
I would also like to say
how fast my product arrived, last time I ordered.
Thanks!!

Dear Neptune's
Harvest,
I would like to inform you that your products have done an excellent
job. It has amazed us how well the 2-4-1 Fish Fertilizer worked out.
Over a three-month period we put the plants through several types of
weather conditions.
The plants we used
were peppers, roses, green beans, melons, tomatoes, mint, and an
assorted mixture of wildflowers, strawberries, and tomatoes.
After they first
started to grow we maintained perfect growing conditions. We used
topsoil and added the correct amount of 2-4-1, to the watering
system. After two weeks the pepper plants, for example, were over 13
inches in height.
We then put the
plants through a drought condition, and after they had started to
die we brought them back into the greenhouse were we started to
immediately apply the fertilizer again. We had to cut a little of
the plant leaves back, but after three days new leaves started to
grow and the older leaves picked right up.
Next we wanted to
do a test to see how well the plants would do in a simulated frost
condition. We took the plants and put them into three refrigerators
for three days. They started to drop pretty fast, so we brought them
back into the greenhouse and started the recovery system all over
again. Within four days all of the plants were back to normal.
Now for our review:
We here at The American Farm Report would RECOMMEND the use
of Neptune’s Harvest Organic Fish Fertilizer for anyone that would
like to grow fresh food, and flowers using organic fertilizers,
instead of commercial fertilizers. We believe that by following the
directions on the container, you will have the top garden in the
neighborhood.
Also, you can know that your vegetables were raised with NO harmful
products, and you may have a longer production time. If you have a
greenhouse, you can enjoy all the fruits of your labor all year
long!! Here at The American Farm Report, we test fertilizers and
soil samples, and when a product stands out like Neptune’s Harvest
Organic Fish Fertilizer, we put our name on the line when we say
that it is one of the best products to come our way!!

Dear Neptune Harvest,I've been growing giant pumpkins for the last ten years and have
always used Neptune's Harvest products with great results. This
year, I tried growing long gourds for the first time and thought
that what is great for growing pumpkins would be great for growing
long gourds too. I sprayed the leaves with seaweed and drenched the
soil with fish and seaweed on a weekly basis. The leaves always had
a nice green, healthy shine the day after a feeding. As you can
see, the plants grew vigorous and the long gourds were growing 5 -
6" a day! My longest long gourd grew to 126.5" - a new WORLD
RECORD!!
I strongly recommend to people, to use these all natural
products in their fertilizing program! Thank you, Neptune's Harvest!

Hello from L.A. (Lower
Alabama)
"A picture says a thousand words!" It all began with the use of
Neptune's Harvest Fish Emulsion. A visiting friend made the comment
that there is a definite difference between our pastures and the
neighbors. So we thought we would share his observations.
These photos were taken the same morning on June 6, 2006. The top
photo is of our pasture and the bottom is a neighbors directly
across our fenceline.
At this time, the cows had been off this pasture for 8 days and we
were 13" below normal in rainfall for the year.
|

 |
We have used your fish emulsion on this land for the past six years.
The neighboring pasture was fertilized using conventional practices.
In using your product we have seen a definite improvement in the
health of our soil, which in turn has enabled the earthworm and dung
beetle populations to dramatically increase. All of the improvements
have been a contributing factor to the retention and usage of
rainfall and overall health of our soil.
Many thanks for your line of products. We are "VERY SATISFIED!"

Dear Neptune's
Harvest:
Thank you for letting us tell you about your wonderful products.
I recently grew a 1443 lb. pumpkin and had it weighed at the SNGPG,
12th Annual Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Championship,
held at Frerich's Farm in Warren, RI. My pumpkin took 1st place
and is currently the largest pumpkin grown in New England, and
is the 2nd largest pumpkin grown this year (2005) in the world.
All I can say is THANK YOU NEPTUNE'S HARVEST!!!!!
I have been growing pumpkins for about 5 years and have been using
your Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer faithfully.
This year times were tough and I really didn't have the money
to buy the products, but knew I really needed them if I wanted
to best my record of an 877 lb. pumpkin from last year, so I broke
down and bought the products, and I am glad I made that investment.
I used both the liquid Fish and the liquid Seaweed products once
a week, and followed the instructions on the label.
|
When people ask me what I used for fertilizer I tell them NEPTUNE'S
HARVEST, of course. I tell people all the time to try your products,
and all the pumpkin growers I know love your product as much as I
do. I would never use anything but NEPTUNE'S.
Your products are the best and without them I don't know if my pumpkin
would have
weighed in at 1443 lbs. this year.
Thank you again for your wonderful products and a great selection.

This pumpkin weighed 1458 lbs. and is
the LARGEST PUMPKIN EVER GROWN!
However, it developed a pin hole late in the season and therefore
was not eligible for the official weigh-off.
It was grown using Neptune's Harvest products by Bruce Whittier of
Henniker, NH during the 2003 season.
NOTE: 2003 was a difficult growing year, due to a long, cold, wet
spring, which makes this weight even more of an achievement.

Thanks be to God and Neptune’s Harvest
For the past three years I have used Neptune’s Harvest and the results
have been remarkable!
In 2001 I grew a 1,131 lb. and a 1,061 lb. pumpkin on one plant, and
the very next year (2002) I grew a 1,186.4 lb. pumpkin. This season,
(2003) much to my surprise, two more even larger than the previous
years were found in my patch.
One weighed in at 1,301.4 lbs. at the Topsfield Fair in Topsfield,
MA, and took 1st place in New England. The second one weighed an amazing
1,458 lbs., and was the largest pumpkin ever grown in the world. Unfortunately
it did not qualify for competition due to a pinhole.
I have been using Neptune’s Harvest Fish and Seaweed faithfully. I
use these products according to their directions on a weekly basis.
Hats off to Neptune’s Harvest, and again, thanks for your great products
and God bless.

Dear Neptune's Harvest,
This is
a picture of a cabbage I grew this year. I give all the credit for
this cabbage to Neptune's Harvest. I've grown this type of cabbage,
Megaton, for the past three years. This is the first year I used Neptune's
Harvest. This year's 15 1/2 lb. head is double the size and weight
of what I've grown in previous years without Neptune's Harvest. It
was bigger than a basketball!
You certainly made a believer out of
me! Great product, thank you!
|

15 1/2 lbs.
|
I thought I'd send a picture of the
latest and greatest. This one weighed in at 16 1/4 lbs., a new
record for me. Neptune's Harvest once again did the trick.
|

16 1/4 lbs. |
|

18 3/4 lbs. |
Here it is! A new record cabbage. Thi this year, other than the Neptune's. We ribly ad hot summer here in western PA.
I had almost a dozen 15 and 16 pounders and lots of 10s and 12s. Maybe a 20 pounder next year!
