I bought:

128 oz. Fish Emulsion = $17.99
1 gal. Hi-Yield Liquid Iron = $16.99
32 oz. Bonide Insecticidal Soap = $15.99
4 lbs. Dipel Dust = $3.99
4 lbs. Kelp Meal = $17.99

I can see why only Co-Op can afford to carry Organic products.

I need to go get some Medina.

BTW, Kelp Meal is 3 lbs per 100 sq. ft. @ aprox. $12.75 per 3 lbs multiplied
by 10 = aprox $127.50 just for Kelp meal for a small veggie garden. That's
just for the Kelp. Shocking! That's a lot of money for a 1000 sq. ft garden
if you're on a limited income (retired, disabled etc). Looking at some of
the figures the man at the Co-Op gave us, it's much much cheaper to buy
veggies at the local store or Farmer's Market. Apparently that's why no one
buys organic fertilizers and the local stores don't sell it. The blood meal
was unaffordable so I picked up ammonium nitrate as per the soil test.

I bought one the one bag of Kelp meal to try with some peppers and tomatoes
kept over in the greenhouse this winter and outside next spring. But there
is no way we can do this with the larger gardens we plan to have next year.
