Organic Teabag Fertilizer

The 2009-2010 catalog from Oikos Tree Crops arrived this week, and it is a pleasure to read. I learned about a product I've never seen elsewhere which makes great sense: organic fertilizer "teabags" to be dropped into a planting hole providing slow-release fertilizers to a new seedling. They sell them for tree starts, but my immediate thought was using them in the bottom of tomato and other transplants. They are rated at 7-7-2 with trace elements Ca, S, Mg, Zn, and Fe (Calcium, Selenium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Iron). Read more about them here.
