Type of organic fertilizer for container plants
 

Hi, I am new to newsgroups. I have read some of the posts, but not
found exactly what I'm looking for. I have some plants - oregano,
rosemary, chives, basil, tomatoes, cucumbers that are already planted
in potting soil. I'd like to use an organic fertilizer on them,
preferably one for all, and without having to re-pot anything, but
have no idea what to use. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can buy fish emulsion in garden centers. This is a
smelly liquid!

You would then dilute it with water according to the
directions on the package.

I am an organic gardener outdoors, but I use non-organic
plantfood for plants in the house as I don't want the fishy
smell in my house - and I don't want the cat attracted to my
plants and digging them up or eating them. I just buy a
balanced houseplant food for indoor plants.

You don't say where your plants are located.

You can also get concentrated seaweed extract and dilute it for use.
I have no idea about the nutritional content, but the plants seem to
love it, and it doesn't have an offensive smell like fish emulsion.

I have used 'epsoma' products for years. They are entirely organic by
intention. Stuff like 'plantone', rosetone', etc. Slow release,
non-burning, and don't smell like fish emulsion.
