I know some swear by chook poo, some seasol,
personally I can't find anything better than blood and bone.

:-)) I don't limit myself. I use cow poop, horse poop, blood and bone,
pelleted chook poop, bagged cow poop, seasol, 'Sudden Impact for Roses',
Blood and bone with added sulphate of potash, compost, rotted leaves and
anything else that comes to hand including elephant poop which grew the best
corn we've had yet. I also use fire ash and dolomite, rice hulls, lucern
chaff, hay and lucerne straw.

I have a big garden on poor soil which is finally starting to improve and I
feed it by direct fertilising, by mulching and with scavenging.
