Hi. Both you and JoeSpareBedroom made effectively the same
recommendation,
so that's what I'm trying, thanks. fish emulsion, I'm presuming
that's to add nutrients? I've never had to do that before, but then again
I've never grown them in containers before. Do you have any advice about
how to go about doing that, or pages I can read about it, or anything
like that? Thanks.

Can you get to a library? You're asking people to write a book for you, but
that's already been done.

As far as the fish emulsion, it *is* for nutrients. The stuff's a bit
smelly, though, and on a few occasions, I've had container plants near
sitting areas and they weren't pleasant to be near. The smell disappears
after a day or two, and some people don't even notice it. If you find it
bothersome, dilute with more water than recommended in the instructions.
