I have about two quarts of dried wild Alaskan comfrey flowers which are great for top-dressing your soil and making teas for flowering plants (it's very high in phosphorous). It's all organic, wild-harvested, and 100% Alaskan for those of you who are into the truly all-natural grow (me too!). Selling it for $5.00 a bag, plus $2.50 shipping anywhere within AK. I accept Paypal and postal money orders.

Where were you a month ago?!
I searched high and low for a cheap organic source of P for my deficient plant... (By cheap, i mean free to pennies)
Best i came up with was boiled shrimp, used water to feed plant.

Bummer! Ya, it's a good idea to stock up on some stuff you can find in your backyard if you're looking for organic. Comfrey is found pretty heavily here in Alaska. I clip it with sheers then tie it together and hang it upside down in a dry part of my home. It'll try 100% in nearly two weeks and then I can package it away for the winter. Dandelion greens (the leaves, no the flowers) also have high phosphorus.
I've never heard of using shrimp for phosphorus deficiencies, but that's a good idea in terms of an organic alternative to chemicals.
