Laura,

Google "Tennesee Rock Phosphate". You will have a supplier of biological
soil amendments. He sells a mined rock phosphate from Tennesee. I don't
exactly know where the mine is located in TN, but he may tell you or where
you can get it. I think he also sells Maxi Crop seaweed. (by the way, you
may be able to order edible seaweed and emulsify it is a blender and use
it, but I have not tried it myself.)

Hope this helps,

Ryan
