We carry an organic fish-based pelleted fertilizer that has FISH bone meal
in it.  Also contains POULTRY blood meal.  Haven't heard anything about Mad
Trout or Mad Chicken disease, so this product might be a good alternative
for you.  We have a free mail-order catalog that I'd be happy to mail to
you, or see our Web page for more info about our natural organics.
