Thanks Worth, that is the very web site I needed to estimate the amount of fertilizing.
I have another question about organic fertilizer. I have access to the ground charcoal from a pet crematorium, is this stuff any value as a fertilizer? The guy that has it said he puts it on his garden and that it definitely worked for him with greener and larger plants. He lives in another city and I haven't seen his garden, but is a good gardener from what I have seen for the past few years. It comes out of the incinerator as black charcoal chunks and then ground into a granulated type of charcoal. The incinerator is a forced air natural gas furnace that reaches 1600 degrees. He gave me a five gallon bucket of it and has plenty more if I decide to use it. 8)
