Question on organic fertilizers

I am aware that, when you are dealing with organics, minute differences in portions are not too important but... most of the 50 pound bags of organics do not have instructions or N-P-K ratios and the ones that do, such as Milorganite, use the "pounds per 100 square feet" way of judging. How do I know how much of the N-P-K's I am putting in and what it actually adds to? Has anyone ever figured it out by the cup or by the tablespoon? For instance, my mixture of organics per large plant roughly divide up to:

3 T Blood meal

3 T Bone meal

3 T Cottonseed meal

3 T Alfalfa meal

3 T Fish meal

3 T Milorganite

1 T Epsom salt

2 T 18-4-8 Time Release

2 T Lime (I have acid soil)

3 T Composted manure

3 T Superphosphate

I wanted to add Urea, but could not find it.

Also, how can you tell what the drip line on a climber is?
