Hi dice,
The websites you posted are very useful.
I am trying to compare with one other website I looked at.
http://www.healthalternatives2000.co...ion-chart.html
And reflecting off:
http://www.primalseeds.org/npk.htm
One deals with mineral contents and the other one deals with compost materials.
Would you see these two webs similar?

The website that you posted there is nutrional analyses of fruit,
etc for eating. Normally the only parts of those fruits one might
use in the garden are the skins, either as compost ingredients
or directly amending soil or container mix with them.
So I don't know how useful that chart would be for analyzing
the usefulness of just the rinds of those fruits as fertilizer.

I have a similar chart that compares a few "foods" that
includes nettles, where it was interesting to compare some
of the nutrients in nettles foliage with some things normally
grown as green vegetables:

(Nettles are often recommended for including in compost.
One poster observed that nettles are apparently a
high-nitrogen additive, based on the behavior of plants
that have been mulched with shredded nettles or had
them mixed into the soil around the plant, and they
seem to accelerate the rate of composting in compost
piles. Crushed bracken fern rubbed on a nettles sting
seems to alleviate the pain in a very short time.)

I spray the plants with Maxicrop fish emulsion or seaweed emulsion at 50% strength (about 1 tsp for a 32 oz bottle) when the plants are coming up on their 2nd set of true leaves.
