I should perhaps apologize if I led you down the path on the
fertilizer. I use organic fertilizers, like fish meal, as a nitrogen
source when I want some. I don't use much at all since I have
concentrated on building up my soil with compost and mulch, and
otherwise leaving it undisturbed. But on occasion I think certain
plants or certain beds need a little help, and I give it.
While I prefer to be organic, this list is not intended to be an
organic-only list, as I understand it.

Nothing at all wrong with that.

We are all learning things all the time. I just learned from Frank
that coffee grounds are high nitrogen, something I didn't realize.
In my time here, this list has been a very friendly and relaxed
place.
