May I suggest you too read about rock dust so you can avoid the toxic plant sprays pushed by the chemical monopolies?
I can hear a small rumble in the background now, "Not everything on the Interent is right, fact, or true." Absolutely. But in this case, you cannot find a contradiction from Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, their allies, lackies or hired character assassins So there has got to be some truth in it.

Christian makes a good point that plants feed on inorganic minerals -- not organic plant material.
Rock dust is a by-product of rock crushers at quarries. They give it away for free. The minerals present in the rock dust typically take years to break down before they are available to plants. Bags of rock dust are sold on the internet for ridiculously high prices.
You can buy water soluble minerals that have been normalized for plant uptake and use. The plants uptake the minerals almost immediately. The minerals all come from natural sources -- typically dry lake beds. The price per pound is typically far less than rock dust. If you buy a "complete" water soluble fertilizer the minerals are already present.
