The organic fertilizer includes molasses to provide additional nutrients to the soil that are readily available for plant intake such as providing sugars to increase microorganism activity. An aromatic ingredient is provided to mask the unwanted odors of other fertilizer components. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An organic fertilizer mixture, comprising: plant based ingredients from 5 to 50 percent by weight of said mixture; animal based ingredients from 10 to 70 percent by weight of said mixture; minerals from 1 to 20 percent by weight of said mixture; molasses from 0.5 to 15 percent by weight of said mixture; at least one aromatic ingredient from 0.1 to 2 percent by weight of said mixture; and at least one fungi from 1 to 2 percent by weight of said mixture. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The organic fertilizer mixture of claim 1 further comprising: water from 1 to 10 percent by weight of said mixture; and at least one binder from 1 to 10 percent by weight of said mixture. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The organic fertilizer mixture of claim 1 further comprising: manure from 20 to 50 percent by weight of said mixture. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The organic fertilizer mixture of claim 1 wherein the aromatic ingredient is selected from the group consisting of: anise, caramel, mandarin, grape fruit, clove, banana, butter, cherry, eucalyptus, coconut, garlic, maple, strawberry, persimmon, lavender, and peppermint. ### Claim 5 An organic fertilizer mixture comprising: plant material from about 5 to about 50 percent by weight of said mixture; animal bone and blood meal from about 10 to about 50 percent by weight of said mixture; manure from about 5 to about 40 percent by weight of said mixture; molasses from about 0.5 to about 15 percent by weight of said mixture; at least one aromatic ingredient from about 0.1 to about 2 percent by weight of said mixture; water from about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of said mixture; at least one binder from about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of said mixture; and a mycorrhizal fungi not otherwise present. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The organic fertilizer mixture of claim 5 wherein: the plant derived material comprises at least one of soybean meal or wheat midds. ### Claim 7 An organic fertilizer for plants comprising: a mixture of plant derived material in a range from about 20 to about 50 percent by weight of said mixture; animal derived material in a range from about 5 to about 45 percent by weight of said mixture; molasses in a range from about 0.5 to 15 percent by weight of said mixture; water in a range from 0 to about 10 percent by weight of said mixture; an aromatic ingredient from 0.1 to about 2 percent by weight of said mixture; and a microorganism not otherwise present from 0.1 to about 2 percent by weight of said mixture. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 wherein: the aromatic ingredient is selected from the group consisting of: vanilla, anise, apple, caramel, orange, lime, mandarin, lemon, grape fruit, citrus, raspberry, clove, cinnamon, banana, butter, carrot, cherry, eucalyptus, coconut, chocolate, garlic, grape, maple, strawberry, persimmon, lavender, and peppermint. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 wherein: the plant derived material comprises at least one of soybean meal, wheat midds, or ground corn. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 wherein: the animal derived material comprises at least one of blood meal, feather meal, or bone meal. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 further comprising: minerals in a range of 1 to 10 percent of the total mixture by weight. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 further comprising: potassium magnesium sulfate in a range of 1 to 10 percent of the total mixture by weight. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 wherein: the animal derived material comprises manure. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The organic fertilizer of claim 7 wherein: the animal derived material comprises animal slaughter remains.
