I follow The Millennial Gardener as well, and a channel called Garden Fundamentals. The gentleman that puts out Garden Fundamentals is a soil scientist and dispels a lot of myths surrounding fertilizers. For instance, The only number in the NPK ratio that is actually what you're giving your plants is Nitrogen. So a 10-10-10 fertilizer does have 10 percent nitrogen that will be available to plants. The other numbers in NPK must be converted, because they have to breakdown into an ionic form to be available to plants. To get the % P value, multiply the reported P value by 0.436, or approximately half of the reported value. To get the available K value, multiply the reported NPK value by 0.83. Using this information you can see that a fertilizer with an NPK number of 10-10-10 contains 10% nitrogen, 4.36% phosphorus, and 8.3% potassium, that will be available to plants. Also there is no difference between a molecule of N, P or K from synthetic sources or organic. A molecule of Nitrogen, Phosphorus or Potassium is a molecule of Nitrogen, Phosphorus or Potassium, regardless.

I need to check out this millennial gardner you mentioned here. I don't need to be 100% organic, especially for the flower plants. I just need fertilizers that really work. So far my gardens are pitiful.

Can I eat these if I identify as a plant? Am I doing this right?
No. That's not recommended. It may harm you.

You need to find a bunch of bugs. Feed this to them and put their shit in your mouth. That's the right way to consume it. I know as I have a friend who identifies as a plant.

Here's an article that explains NPK ratios and what plants actually get from advertised NPK values.

Why not Jobes or espoma? Both are organic and usually can be found around $1 per pound. Of course, if you can't wait for the that price, this seems good.

Yeah, this is what I buy for organic fertilizer. I don't exclusively use organic but it is a slower release so remains in the soil longer as I understand it. It's about half price to the Miracle Grow.

this is 7N-6P-9K so its a low percentage fertilizer ..1/2 price is good...anyone use this?
I used it last year on my tomatoes and cucumbers with great results. This year I amended my soil with compost and manure, so no fertilizer needed hopefully.

The only thing with his stuff is it goes fast. I ran out using it on 7 plants total about 3/4 through the season.

Quote from Joe123456 View quoted comment :
Take this with a grain of salt as last year was my first garden. I used the Performance Organics Edible with fair results. It takes time to work because it must be consumed by worms and bacteria before its bioavailable for the plant. This has an advantage when putting it in your planting hole as it won't burn the roots. I am in the South and this year I gave up on 100% organics and I primarily follow the recommendations of The Millennial Gardener on youtube who is based in North Carolina. This year my garden is going gangbusters growing at probably 3-4X the pace of last year (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, yellow squash). Perhaps last years organics are partially responsible however. In his opinion, and I agree, if you use 100% organics you will have to give up some of the growth that you get with inorganics.
What items do they recommend please?

Do you have a home Depot near by? I buy the 27lb bag of organic garden tone for $27, 1 dollar a pound which is even cheaper than your link. Garden tone also has bacteria included

From what I am learning, for flowers you could use a balanced organic like this in the planting hole or with seeds. Once the plants get to be a good size or when the first buds appear, switch to a high P (NPK) fertilizer which are usually called bloom boosters, super bloom, or similar.
