I have a great pile of composting leaf material, but need some nutrients to

You can get a 50 lb. bag of cottonseed meal for $8.50 and fire up your
compost pile pronto. You'll only need a generous sprinkle mixed into
the organic material, so 50 lb. will last a while. Works great and
doesn't get the neighbors in an uproar.
I got mine at Southern States in Carrboro, but you have to ask for
*feed* cottonseed meal. The fertilizer type in their book is 18 lb. for
$13.50. Pretty clear choice.
