need to buy soil, but no NPK given from organics?

hey
i was just at home depot checking out soil types and i noticed that almost all of the bags mention things like "chicken manure, kelp extract, worm castings" etc. but none of them give any N-P-K values. I asked the garden guy and he said that NPK was for fertilizers, not the soils. I guess he didnt get what i mean. What im trying to get at is that i have no idea if my plants will be burnt by these "organic" soils that are loaded with organic fertilizers. Like this one...

how do i find the right soil from home depot though i dont know the NPK values?

Easy, don't buy from home depot. (kidding)
Most commertial mixes will be ok for trasplanting as log as you use enough water while trasplanting.
The NPK value will not be listed because it would be so small. If i put chicken manure on my garden the avalable nitrogen will be much higher than if I put potting soil containing chicken manure (whith all the other stuff in the soil, sand, perlite, and compost) on my garden.

usually organic compost or soils are ready 2 use ... they will not burn your plant

thanks guys
also, the man tried selling me steer manure for 1$ a bag. if i put in 1/3 steer manure into my mix will they burn, or will it be ok?

why did your outdoor fail?

its possible. Use lightly cuz it might be too late once they burn. U Dnt wanna have to re pot cuz ur soil is to hot.
