I saw an article in the paper yesterday about a Garden center owner in one of the small towns just outside Columbia who made and sold a soil amendment that he called Purely Organic. He first started mixing it for roses, but soon started using it on other flowers and vegetables.
It's made of alfalfa meal, cotton seed meal, fish meal, blood meal, steamed bone meal, soybean meal, finely ground rock phosphate, sul-po-mag, kelp, greensand, and other natural ingredients. It's a bit pricey, $25 for a 50lb bag, but a little bit goes a very long way.
So, I got one of my co-workers who lives out that way to pick me up a few bags. The Guaranteed Analysis is 5 5 4, with 3% calcium,1% magnesium, and 1% iron. It's recommended that you use 3 cups/ 10 linear feet of row for vegetables, and incorporate into the soil.
I'm thinking the tomatoes will love this stuff! I'll probably use some in the pepper beds, but more like 1 1/2 cup/10 ft and only early in the season.
I got three bags, one for me, and I'll give my mother and my sister a bag as Easter gifts.
