Best Answer

The early European settlers in America probably used animal manures, wood ash, lime, composts, blood and fish emulsion to fertilize their plants. It is likely, however that the bountiful harvest which is the backdrop to the traditional Thanksgiving story had less to do with fertilizer than fortuitous weather conditions throughout the growing season, and with learning from the indiginous people when to plant the seed, as the climate there differed greatly from that of England.
