Judy, Thanks for telling about the greensand. I'll be on the lookout for that. What do you think if I made some alfalfa tea and poured a little of it around the seedlings that I have inside (seeds planted in Oct-Dec). I have been meaning to fertilize the ones that have gotten a foot or so tall. (I have given them a haircut.) I have been meaning to give them some liquid fertilizer but have not gotten around to it.
Also, I am inclined to go along with you about the meal vs. pellets. It was our reasoning last year that meal would break down sooner than the pellets, but all we could find at that time were the pellets. And, the negative about using meal vs. pellets may have been that the meal will be leeched out of the soil faster than the pellets. Personally, I don't think we can go wrong either way.
