IIRC, compost generally assays out at about 1-1-1. It's not too strong.
If anything, its value as a fertilizer is over-rated. Perhaps you were
thinking about straight, uncomposted, manures?

Do you know, offhand, of any sites that describe the 'nutritional content'
of average compost? As you say, a lot of people tout its value as
fertilizer, while I've always thought that its soil-improving
characteristics were what makes it valuable/necessary.

Here's one ... but it's not the one I recall. There are probably others.
