A friend shared with me a website that allows you to
Search commonly sold fertilizers In the USA.
The database is quite large and it contains both organic and synthetic fertilizers with a heavy metal report.
I checked out my manufacturer of the 20-20-20 I have imported from America and I was quite shocked with the results, though I’m not sure how reliable it is.
Everything is alphabetically organised.
Example: Miracle-Gro products are under M.

…Are you trying to fearmonger intentionally or do you not know that heavy metals are naturally found and thus allowed up to certain concentrations in all products, fertilizers included?

Check before you buy.

Heavy metals are found naturally in all topsoil so this might be interesting to some but a source of anxiety to those who are not aware. Before you “think” anything about the data on this site be sure to compare it to your local soil’s measured averages for the same metals.
“ppm” can be a very misleading unit of measure for these things.

Thank you for this.
It is a great resource.
I’m sorry that just posting it made so many people willing to attack you.

Am I misunderstanding this or is there no Ca, Mg, or S? Also, it should be measuring chloride levels, not chlorine.
