Re: Is fish emulsion any good?
Hi Griffo, Fish Emulsion is great. It's organic, Charlie Carp is the pick of the Fish Emulsions because it is made from an environmental pest, the European Carp. Fish Emulsion also attracts bees. A simple general feed program is alternate fortnightly full strength doses of Charlie Carp and Seasol.
Cheers,
Mojo

Re: Is fish emulsion any good?
I think Fish Emulsion is an excellent fertilizer and I use it all over all of my plants at the recommended concentration once per fortnight when plants are growing.
A handy and available lower N fertilizer is Searles 'Flourish' Orchid fertilizer. If you want larger quantity Grow Force 7 or Grow Force 9 are good options.
