Just a note of caution added to Mark's comment on cotton seedmeal......Here in Mississippi we have TONS of what they call gin trash, which would be great to use as compost type amendment EXCEPT that heavy metals in pesticides/herbicides, whatever, that were used decades ago, still remain in the soils to be recycled to some degree in the plants.
 
Obviously gin trash would never be permitted under organic certification, but even if one didn't care about that, seems like alot of unwanted residues.  Here folks use it for flowers and shrubs.
