Help Locating an Old Thread

There used to be a thread here, on ICMag, that listed a gazillion and one different organic materials along with their N-P-K levels. I cannot remember for the life of me what it was called and can't find it via the search. I was hoping that someone could post a link to it if they knew the one, that I mean. Thank you in advance.

I just thought of searching for an item from the list, that I was looking for. This doesn't feel like the thread, that I remember. Who knows though? It was probably 8 years ago that I remember looking at it last. Anyways, the list is most certainly the same.

One thing that wasn't pointed out is that any of those sources can be made more rapidly available by calcifying (burning) them to varying degrees. You could even use some of the things, from the list, to make a biochar from specific ingredients to customize a medium rich in specific minerals. It is too bad that relative quantities of trace minerals are not listed as well. At any rate, burning the material as thoroughly as possible will make it the most rapid acting (think slash and burn agriculture) but it will also deplete the quantity of nitrogen present up to removing it all.(look at the N-P-K levels listed for cotton seed meal vs cotton seed ash) However that could be used to render some of the more modest phosphorus sources as a more suitable flowering fertilizer for late flower.

At any rate, since you expressed interest, I figured I'd share that link since I found it after all. Plus somebody else might find it nifty.
