Im trying to ignore any/all synthetic, petroleum based fert. THat means 90% of the commercial stuff is off limits. Again, the only thing that comes to mind is blood/bone meal. I only use fertilizer when they are potted up, so it doesnt leech into the ground water.

Im going to be using nitrofying ground covers to help pump some nitrogen into the soil. THis includes clover, legumes, comfrey, and a whole score of others.
