I used to use Growmore when I had my plot. Plus a liquid feed made with  nettles. Is Growmore generally acceptable in organic terms? Hisorically it played an important part in the Dig for Victory campaign apparently, but this was a little before my time.

Nope

don't think it is scribbler - i wouldn't use it.  
I get acceptable results just using garden compost, green manures, liquid feed from comfrey / nettles / perennial weeds and mushroom compost (which has been stacked and composted for 6 months), with the occasional splattering of seaweed meal.

As munty says, it contains NPK of chemical extraction.  These feed the plant alright but do nothing for the soil or worms.  They are also highly soluble and so leach out over winter.

Use compost, manure and wilted comfrey to feed your soil and then the soil will feed your plants.

If you need a quick-fix, then use dried-blood (nitrogen), fish and bone meal (nitrogen, phosphate), nettle tea (nitrogen) or comfrey tea (potash). I have bracketed the main strength in each case but all supply NPK to some extent

But presumably not if you are vegetarian, and what if the animals used were not organic ones  :shock:

A bit like the cannibal who went on a health kick and only ate vegetarians...
