I've been reading this book by Steve Solomon ("Gardening When it Counts") and he has this concoction he calls "complete organic fertilizer." A large part of this is made up of something he calls "seed meal." There's a feedstore near me (I live in a small, semi-rural town) and they don't have anything labeled as "seed meal." There are plenty of types of feed for all manner of livestock. When I read the constituents of each feed, I have a feeling that some of the feeds are probably what he's talking about, but I thought I'd run it by the folks here.

Solomon mentions that you should basically buy the highest protein content for the money you spend. Many of the feeds (not grains) list 12% protein, and there are 50 lb. sacks for $10.

Thanks for your help.
