Michel:
Canola is a cultivar of Rapeseed: yes, it is what you need, but it needs to
be ground into a powder for mixing. You should be able to purchase it in
that form.
However, since you are referring to my recipe, consider buying the
cottonseed meal from the following source:

It's getting worst on worst! I am French, as Michael guessed, and I didn't
know what rapeseed was. When I look on dictionary for "rape" you understand
my surprise... I am quite sure!!! But I found this on the net:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Canola.jpg
Is this what I need? I put seeds like it in the recipe!!! Geee! I thought
cottonseed was like popcorn texture... I didn't know I was suppose tu use
"real intact" seed! I am impressed by all of this!
Thank you Michael and it was your recipe I found on the net.

Well . . . If Michel is using something like Akadama, which has a low cation
exchange ratio, the presence of organic matter, such as cakes, works quite
well.
Cordially,

I am completely desespered! I am from Canada and I cannot find anywhere
cottonseed to make cake fertilizer. Does anyone knows where I can find
someone who will ship me this to Quebec, Canada?
Or any other suggestion?
I want to grow my trees (pines, juniper...) into a non-organic soil, put
some cake on it and fertilize with fish fertilizer once a week.
All we can find here is grey pellets 13-13-13. will it make the same than
cake?
Almost any ground seed -- rapeseed, soy, etc. -- will do as well. But for
the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to go to the
trouble. Cakes are NO better (or worse) than any other fertilizer. If for
some reason you _must_ go all-organic, use your fish emulsion regularly, and
occasionally (monthly) add something like MiracleGro that has the trace
elements that fish emulsion (or cakes) does not have, and grow fine, healthy
bonsai.
