Thanks for the invite! Very nice.
On your great list of fertlizers, I saw Bradfield has corn gluten meal and that carries a 10% N. It's a wonderful fertilizer, but many people do not know corn gluten meal is also a pre-emergent herbicide which prevents seed from germinating. So, if you ever use it in ground soils which are alive, be aware of this. Never try to germinate seeds in soil with this in it.
However, there is a window whereby the seed can germinate. The gluten meal creates a fungi in the soil and the fungi it grows prevents seed from germinating. In places where weed seed is an issue, I have used it in the fall and early spring when it is most actively effective in the soil. Growing in containers has not been studied as far as germination rates, but I would avoid it when sprouting seed of any kind.
