Besides Sunniland 20-lb 4000-sq ft Lawn Fertilizer (0-0-0) and Purely Organic Lawn Food another one of interest is the Jobe's Organics 15-lb 5,000-sq ft 10-0-2 Lawn Food.
So, just so you know, there is no difference between organic (except you feel good about yourself) and non organic fertilizer, as far as your plants are concerned. I find organic to be stinkier, so I avoid them.
If you want to avoid chemicals, get your soil tested to see what it needs and then only add that.

For my lawn only organic lawn fertilizer will do from spring to fall. Same goes for my plants and perennials.

Soil needs a balance of minerals, and a balanced ph. You can reduce the amount of chemicals that you add to your soil by knowing what is deficient, and only adding that. Naturally occurring minerals in soil ARE CHEMICALS. Whether the additive is made in a lab, or or from a natural source, makes no difference to your plants. It’s the same as taking a calcium pill instead of chewing on egg shells...the pill is more effective.
Picked up 4 bags of Purely Organic Lawn Food at HD and 4 bags of CarbonX at Lowe’s.
