Inexpensive/Odorless/Quality/Organic Fertilizers
So I've been using Neptune's Harvest for a couple years now, three different kinds for different times and different plants; their seaweed 0-0-1 (which to me has the least odor), their seaweed/fish emulsion 2-3-1 (which has a DEFINITE odor and is even residual after rinsing the watering can) and their fish emulsion 2-4-1 (which is the smelliest of all).
Believe it or not, my bottle of fish emulsion 2-4-1 was exposed to a bit too much sunlight and cracked open upon dropping it in my bathroom the other day. Cleanup was HORRENDOUS. That being said, lately I've just resorted to diluting a liquid Miracle Grow African Violet feed rated at 8-8-8 alternating to the seaweed/fish emulsion when I can tolerate the odor.
I really prefer to give my plants the best of things... and naturally I would prefer to give them organic fertilizer, though I know chemically there is no difference in the breaking down of these organics in comparison to the non-organics.
What are the recommendations and experiences out there for a good quality, gentle, all-around fertilizer that is organic and odorless.
I also supplement my plants with vitamins/hormones/vitalizers so it's not crucial that the fertilizer has all the necessary micro nutrients included.
