    Well, the kind that I have says it has wintergreen oil to defuse the smell - I may try a little on my cyms outside, though - just in case they didn't quite get it right. My grandmother grew African Violets and always had a gallon of fish fertilizer around - I used to run out of the house, holding my nose when she used it!

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Question, though - when you use it, do you skip the other kinds of fertilizers, or is it an adjunct to it?

    Maura, I use the Seasol - Australia's top selling liquid seaweed and PowerFeed dynamic fish fertilizer, together, once a month. The other weeks I alternate a nitrogenous fert. 1st week, high potassium fert, 2nd week,systemic pesticide 3 rd week high nitrogen; 4th week fungicide. 5th liquid seaweed + fish fert. then 6th week, just water only. They look healthy to me.
