The best fertilizer is composted leaves and grass clippings. Packed full of nutrients and they break down really quickly.
Make a 3 sided box (or buy the kind that you can crank to roll it around.) Just turn it all over from time to time. When you start seeing a number of worms in it then you know you're about to harvest your garden gold.
You can even put it down before it's done. I do it every year and all my plants are usually twice as big as the label says.
Cow dung goes through the same process. It sits and turns until it smells like good fresh soil. But ask any gardener and they will tell you that leaf mold is the most sought after.
The secret, though, is the worms and other organisms. They break it down.

Compost piles can supply fertilizer for small gardens or flowerbeds. Beyond that, "organic" fertilizers are byproducts of animal husbandry. In some areas human waste is used for an organic fertilizer. Other, even less popular sources of organic fertilizers are rendering plants and simple natural decay of dead animals and plants.

well you can use a compost pile (though it is rather stinky.) It works very well at retaining heat and nutrients for the plants. Otherwise you can plant beans around the plants you wish the fertilize. That will result in extra nitrogen to the roots of each plant (because legumes are renown for nitrogen fixation.)
Good luck

First you eat lots and lots of these organically grown products: lettuce, cabbage, oatmeal, rice bran and wheat germ. Do this for two days and then drink gallon of mineral spring water each day. The voila! You have organic fertilizer ...
