I've used it on my stuff at home with good results. It's aimed at grass but lots of other uses.
Also look on thier website

My first thought on reading your post was that you might not want to 'use horse manure et al' but if the soil is seriously depleted as you say then manure or some very good soil conditioner is what it really needs. The aim must be to feed the soil and raise the soil fertility. Why are set on just adding a 'good all round fertiliser'?
I see what you mean Tom. In that case what about a dried seaweed fertiliser or a good top dressing of Fish, Blood and Bone. Im assuming that the garden will get some really cold weather before spring gets under way so I can't see anything in the gardens needing much. Unless it stays relatively mild and there are evergreens in the gardens that may benefit from a feed.
Hi Tom,
If the soil texture is depleted it will need some bulk to bind or hold on to nutrients in the way of organic matter - rotted leaf mould is the best. Just watch the poo pellets - they can be strong and if the soil ios poor it will leach out before the 'bugs' can do their thing. To improve nutrition we have 20kg dried seaweed which boosts soil microbes and fish/blood/bone in 15kg for general plant feeding :
