Default Are custom fertilizers better than the general stuff?

Actually, composted cow manure ( Black Cow) is 0.5-0.5-0.5, same
proportions as 10-10-10. It just takes 20 times as much for the same
kick. Added advantage as a soil conditioner.


plus you can tramp it all through the house on your shoes and get shouted at
by your wife. Something you can't achieve as easily with synthetic
fertiliser.
