I am using Omega 6-6-6 from Peaceful Valley although its got blood  
and fish meal in it.

I am a vegetarian too and would like to figure out a way to fertilize  
causing as little harm as i can. I am looking for an organic Nitrogen  
only fertilizer now because i have too much Potassium and Phosphorous  
in my soil to add any.
