I can only shop at the stores that are here. There's a nursery that
carries bone and blood meal and I think they still have Fish Emulsion.
It would be several hundred dollars to purchase enough for our gardens.

How much is it in the US? I bought a 2 litre container for about $12
about 3 years ago and I'm still using it up. I have about 3 acres of
garden.

I'm talking about *ALL* the organic stuff I would need for *ALL* of our
the gardens.

Did I misplace a decimal somewhere? I'm sure you said 900 square feet was
the size of your garden.

Are you from the school that if a little does good, more will do more good?

You are way out of kilter with what such a modest garden would require.

I'll also make note of something you said in another post. You said that you
put leaves directly on the garden in the fall and till them in in the
spring. I would suggest composting the leaves with grass clippings in a
separate compost pile. High carbon directly on to the garden has a tendency
to steal away the nitrogen. You want to satisfy compost's nitrogen need
before it hits the garden. That will also allow beneficial microbes to
develop and supply high levels of beneficial humic acid.
