Some people asked if I had received any information on sources of organic fertilizers in South Atlanta. Here are all the suppliers mentioned; perhaps some people will find them helpful.

Adams-Briscoe Seed Co., Jackson (Butts)

Appalachian Organics, J.A. Whidby, Owner
Ballground, north of Canton, has composted chicken manure
(770)479-4997

Arnell's Grocery, Newnan (Coweta)

Athens Seed Co., Athens (cover crop seed)

Cooper Feed and Seed, Lawrenceville

Country Gardens, Lee & Joyce Biddulph, Owners
1415 Euharlee Rd, Kingston, GA 30145
(770)386-6556
Wide range of organinc fertilizers.

Glover Farm is a distribution location for Country Gardens's (Fertrell) products. The Glovers are located near Douglasville. You need to make sure they are available for sales before you go; it's not a regular store.
3260 Hwy. 166
email-glo-farm@mindspring.com

Hasting Garden Center
Peachtree Rd, Brookhaven
(one person commented they were somewhat pricey)

Pike Family Nurseries
(several locations)
have powdered kelp and fish emulsion

These are all the places mentioned to me. Try looking in the Atlanta phone book for telephone numbers for the listings without them. I'd call all the places before I would make a visit there to see if they have what I need.

If anyone else has information on other local sources, you could let me know and I could maintain a listing. Thanks.
