I can't say that I have used it though. For fertilizer, we got a pick-up bed load of compost from our local compost site.
Hope if works for you!

However, we did get a compost bin so next year I should have some good stuff. It is great to be able to throw in the kitchen scraps - don't feel so guilty when the veges get too old to eat!
