Home made compost, manure, Cow and or Horse when I can get it,  Comfrey tea, Comfrey leaves, BFB and Chicken pellets, still needs more!
Do you really need al that lettuce/

Manure (rabbit or sheep, whichever I can get delivered) and wood ash at the start of the season. The occasional scattering of wood ash during the season if we have any for some plants that I think might need it. If no wood ash, a scattering of chemical granular feed every now and then. I bought a 25 kg bag, but at the rate I'm using it, it'll see me out.

I also don't think its great to be using chemical fertilizers. Manure and home made compost will go on the beds over winter. Weed tea and the occasional handful of chicken manure to give certain plants a boost in spring and summer.
