Nut you got it exactly right. On a small piece of ground you cannot be self sufficient with all the additives so there will always be stuf coming into the garden. My FYM is from pedigree charolais cattle but it might just as well be from half breds as the end product still works the sane way.
Avoid using the sprayer as much as possible and we will all be healthier.
if the contents of the bin are remnants of your food it is completely poison / chemical free. As long as you don't add " blood fish and bone" or other suspect substances
it is natural and chemical free !!!
Food Produced, without artificial fertilisers or pesticides ! = organic

Fish, Blood and Bone is an accepted organic fertiliser.
"...... Organic fertilisers: These are derived from plant or animal sources and contain plant nutrients in organic form. Organic products tend to be slower acting, as large organic molecules have to be broken down by soil organisms before the nutrients within them are released for plant use. Examples of organic fertilisers include: seaweed, hoof & horn, dried blood, fish blood & bone, bone meal, poultry manure pellets and liquid comfrey or nettle feeds....."
If you wish to register as an organic producer with the Soil Association you have to test your soil and get their permission to use the above fertilisers, this is to ensure that the soil's nutrient content is kept in balance - but the above are the fertilisers recommended for organic growers.

Thanks all for your comments and thanks Verdun for a laugh! I guess I'll just carry on with my compost heap and not get too hung up on this conundrum.
Don't get hung up on it daisy, enjoy it
