I am looking to add a fertilizer to the garden. Many articles tell you that certain ones are not good especially if you are trying to stay organic, natural. I am trying to use seeds this year that are GMO free. Have not heard anything good about GMO. So I do not want to undo everything by adding a fertilizer that has toxins and chemicals. I also told the family no miracle grow. But I know you need to rotate your garden and watch for mineral depletion, we already do that. So any ideas?
Thank you
Danyel

good old fashioned compost, with animal manure, kitchen scraps, leaves, small twigs, egg shells, layer with some good garden soil...this is what I use, and I have wonderful veggys every year

I want to try something new this year which is really very old.
I will wash my dishes in a tub and carry the water out to my garden and water one patch at a time with it. The soap is an insecticide and the fat and other food juices are nutrition. Women in England do this for their kitchen gardens.
