Equal amount of the following:
Bloodmeal
Cottonseed meal
Alfalfa meal
Fish meal
Mil-organite
0-46-0 (triple super phosphate) instead of dusty
bone meal.
46-0-0 Urea- This works fast while the other stuff breaks down. It's an ingredient in Mill's Easy Feed, recommended as a supplement to Mill's Magic Rose Mix.
A typical 20 lb bag of organic fertilizer sells for $20 to $26. Mixing it myself it's less than $5 for 20 lbs.
The ingedients have increased in price considerably in the pastfew years.
All these Items can be purchased at feed and grain stores, farm co-ops and stock feed supply elevators.
Alfalfa meal is horse, rabbit, feed
Fishmeal is sold as hog feed.
Mil-organite is a commercial fertilizer available at many nurseries and garden centers. It's packaged Milwaukee, Wisconsin sewage sludge that's been processed to kill any pathogens. Local sanitary districts may manufacture their own product under other names.
Warning:
Heavy use of this type of product can cause a buildup of heavy metals in your soil if the manufacturer is using sewage sludge from a highly industrialized area.
46-0-0 (urea) is farm fertilizer generally sold in bulk but also available in 50 lb bags at farm co-ops. It's also used as a hog feed.
0-46-0 is a mined and processed phosphate rock.
Cottonseed meal was readily available where I bought everything except the Mil-organite and I could have gotten that except I didn't order in advance.
Blood meal is also used as a hog feed. It contains readily available nitrogen and iron.
Let your fingers do the walking. Call around until you find a supplier. Some will order for you if they don't ordinarily stock an item and have it if you give them a week or so. Plan ahead. A local garden center near me can get all of these if I call ahead.
