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.

importantly, you forgot coffee grounds. If you can persuade a local cafe to
put them aside for you they are an excellent source of organic matter. Ask
the cafe not to put bottle lids, fag ends etc in with the used ground. Paper
is ok. I got a regular supply for a couple of years & it did my gardens
fine. Also diverts the waste going in to the landfill.
