Do you know what nutrients you actually need? If not, get a soil test 
first; no sense spending money on something that's the wrong balance 
for your soil, and might actually do more harm than good.

If you want to buy bagged fertilizers, I like the Fertrell line; you 
could check to see if they've got a local dealer, which would help 
considerably on shipping costs if so. They do have dealers in Ohio, 
according to their web site. Not all their blends are acceptable for 
certification, but a lot of them are.
