However, if your priority is keeping your spouse happy and she is waiting for you to help her in the garden, spending 1 1/2 hours on your bike is not a good use of your time!The first thing you need to do is decide what is important to you and then schedule it into your day. Remember that wet soil weighs a lot so if you garden on a balcony weight restrictions may apply.
Use organic fertilisers such as blood meal, bone meal, or fish emulsion, particularly if the soil is going to be added to the garden at the end of the season, as chemical fertilisers harm the wildlife. I also buy organic soil that doesnt have artificial chemicals added as I dump my pots of used soil into the garden where I grow vegetables.

Is Your Fertilizer Poisoning You?
By Jason Willkomm
A little known loophole in state and federal regulations has been skillfully manipulated for profit at your expense. Actually, at your health's expense. Environmentally polluting companies have deceptively declared they are recycling in order to divert millions of pounds of toxic industrial waste from expensive EPA disposal facilities to fertilizer production facilities.
It is another loophole (fertilizer labeling regulations) and soft money contributions that enable these companies to profit while they poison hundreds of thousands of people and saddle them with serious health problems. Labeling is inadequate, because fertilizer labeling laws only require beneficial nutrients like zinc or phosphate to be listed. fertilizers are sold directly to the public without warnings or information that informs consumers about the presence or quantity of toxic metals.
It was the mayor of a small Washington state town, Patty Martin, who initially uncovered the disturbing truth. Her book "Fatal Harvest" details the story and sparked an investigative report by the Seattle Times which has brought the entire matter to a head. The Times documented nationwide use of fertilizers containing cadmium, lead, arsenic, dioxins, radionuclides and other hazardous waste.
Between 1990 and 1995, 600 companies from 44 states sent 270 million pounds of toxic waste to farms and fertilizer companies accross the country. Tests by the State of Washington found that some fertilizers contained levels of dioxin 100 times greater than the level allowed for treated Superfund sites in the state.
Besides the obvious immediate health concerns, one must consider the long term environmental damage done to millions of acres of farmland. Fruit and grain crops have been proven to uptake lead, and wheat crops and lettuce will uptake cadmium. These companies are producing fertilizers from toxic wastes that farming facilities are spreading over millions of acres of food crop producing land in this country.
These fertilizers contain 9 metals, like arsenic and lead, that are known to cause cancer. 10 of the metals, such as mercury, are linked to birth and developmental defects. At least three metals- lead, cadmium, and mercury, are toxins which persist for very long periods of time and can accumulate in the tissues of humans and wildlife over time to become a toxic condition even at lower levels.
Another group, the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), conducted a study that illuminated just how serious and widespread the problem really is. They tested 29 fertilizers from 12 states for 22 toxic metals. All 29 fertilizers were shown to contain all 22 fertilizer samples. In 20 of the samples, the levels were higher than levels for concern.
In conclusion, when I first learned of this I got a sick feeling. The Washington State Department of Agriculture has just recently set up a division to have every fertilizer in their state tested and the results published on the internet. I suggest you do as I did, and go to the WSDA website (below) immediately to check every fertilizer you use. http://agr.wa.gov/PestFert/Fertilizers/FertDB/Product1.asp?action=ViewTable

I guarantee that every product and fertilization method I recommend, I have also used myself, and has passed my thorough check for product safety.
