>In Rodale's Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening, page 226, there is a list of
organic fertilizers and their respective N-P-K ratings. Soybean meal 7 - 0.5
- 2.3, meaning 7% nitrogen, .5% phosphorus, 2.3% potassium (potash). Bone
meal 1-11-0. Green sand is 7% potash plus 32 trace minerals. Most all
organic fertilizers are slow-release. 
Green sand I find hard to locate. Some garden centers stock it. I buy the
other two at my local Farmers Co-op.
