Thanks for your ideas!
This won't help you right now but for the future it could be helpful. See if you can get alfalfa meal or alfalfa pellets in bulk. They are a great long term organic fertilizer that have considerable increased my production over the last couple of years. I have also used with equally good results cottonseed meal which might be harder to get at a good price up there.
