I don't like to use fish emulsion in the house as it smells,
plus I believe it would encourage the cat to dig up the
plant.

Aside from the smell, I think that it is unethical to use a perfectly good
source of edible protein (fish) in a protein short world to feed plants. The
plants can do just as well using nitrogen fixed by legumes.


No, they actually can't - as I was referring to miniature
tomato plants in 6" pots, growing in our bay window
throughout the winter. Hard to get many legumes into a 6"
pot....

I believe, however, that the fish emulsion is made from
waste products from fish processing plants.
