There are probably plenty of jews in the fertilizer industry. Any recommendations on fertilizer that won't grow lead poisoned plants or whatever?

Avoid miracle grow, it’s closer to crack than nutrition and after a few years you find yourself increasing the application more and more and finally you have soil imbalance that causes problems.
Learning to build your soil through compost, organic matter, and keeping it covered is key.

Thank you; I'm putting together a composting area, but I'm looking to plant some crops this spring as well. So, I'm also looking for a short term solution.

You could blend in compost you buy, animal poop is good. You could blend in slow realease now or just some typical 10-10-10 mineral based fertilizer after plants are a few inches high. Mos5 places need to add magnesium (dolomite lime is good, but takes months to break down,critical for tomato’s ), sometimes you have to do a ph adjust too. If you grab a soil sample a d look up,your county extension office for ag, they will usually test it for you. Prevents a bummer year of things getting sickly right as things ripen…

Awesome, awesome; thank you so much for your input. I'm so excited to get some things growing, might do some aeroponics experiments too this year.

Manure. Cow shit, horse shit, chicken shit

This right here. Go to a farmers market maybe and talk to some people about getting some manure. Cow manure, if dry, is not smelly and plants love it. I'm guessing it's because cows are mostly vegetarian. Chicken poop smells, but chickens will eat animals. Pig shit stinks to high heaven and we all know they will kill and eat humans. I don't have much experience with horse manure, but to me it smells a bit more than cow but less than the others I mentioned.

Make your own from a compost pile. Worm castings, either get a worm bin or buy them. I also like Nectar for the Gods
