Liz have you ever contacted the fertrell company to see if there is a local
dealer in your area. The URL is http://www.fertrell.com. They have both
greensand and kelp at resonable prices, Though not all their inputs are
considered certifiably organic those two are and the company's heart seems
in the right place. I know from experience that their cottonseed meal is NOT
organic.
