Fish meal

[nancy]

Greetings -
No idea where to post this! A visit to the local farm and garden brought me home with a 3 lb./1.36 Kg bucket of "earthsafe Organic Fish Meal" 10-5-0. The only directions recommend "10 lb. per 1000 sq. ft., water in thoroughly, repeat every 60 days."
So ... who has used this, how does this dosage translate to potted or mounted orchids?
And, I must say, I've fermented a compost tea made from alfalfa for a month before using it, and this stuff actually smells worse - really horrific, so I suspect that the orchids will love it.
It will stay indoors, as I learned after leaving a plastic bottle of liquid fish fertilizer outside; the possums will not be content until the contents as well as the container have been completely consumed - they are probably sleek and shiny now.
Thanks - Nancy
