[Market-farming] alternative to fish

I am interesting in hearing what others are using for fertilizing
seedlings.  So far I have used a soil mix similar to Elliot Coleman's
soilblock recipe and watered occasionally with sprouting rinse water.
Currently I am wondering if this will be adequate or whether I should do
additional fertilization.  I don't really want to use fish since I am a
vegetarian, but it seems this is what a lot of people recommend. I assume
you want something with a bit more phosphorus than n and k to promote root
growth.  Anyone making their own concoctions or using some other products?
I'd love to hear it...
