I am looking for a non-animal/non-fish fertilizer for growing indoor
herbs.  Any suggestions?

Please post and reply as e-mail.

Thank you.

Well down here in the south cotton burr hulls are very good, but any
good compost made from grass clippings and waste food is good. You can
also get a little earthworm composting set up that you can put in your
pantry. The worms will eat waste food, paper etc. Then you take the
casting and put them on your plants. There is no better fertilizer than
earthworm castings. Do a net search under earthworms or vermiculture and
I bet you will find companies that sell a complete earthworm system for
$30 or so. This will be cheaper than any other fertilizer in the long
run.

If you mean, not from ground up animals, then composted manure works
well.  You won't need very much though.  Most herbs concentrate their
flavor better if stressed a little.  Most herbs do fine in very poor
soils.
