While I don't think that experimentation is at all bad, caution with any organic method should be taken (based on experience which is detailed below). I have found that a person will become accustomed to the smell of their home and not notice odors. (If you have cats, dogs or other pets, you don't notice the pet smell but visitors who don't have pets certainly do. I have the dogs. I don't notice a doggy odor.)
I am not one to judge, though, because I use some fun stuff, too. I use powdered milk in my watering can when the orchids are outside. It is an old gardening thing I learned when I started growing my beloved herbs. Seems to work better than the Cali-magic I now use indoors. The orchids love it but I noticed the orchids have a bit of an odor.... I tried it one year indoors and within three days I had to rinse through all my orchid pots and clean out the saucers.
Then there is the organic fertilizer I buy for my other plants and the bone and blood meal for the outdoor fruit trees. Hold the nose! When I apply this to my houseplants indoors, even carefully burying it, my family REALLY complains. :|
