I think it's really important to have a low amount of herbicide in the organic that you use. Unfortunately one can't really know how much, there was a test here in Germany on a bunch of organics, and some of them had traces of up to 10 different ones.
Also I tried some 'new' only plant based ones, and they seem to work surprisingly well, despite lower NPK, probably a much higher Mg and possibly more useful trace elements.
My favourite is still a 7-3-10 with mycorrhizae (neudorff), very good for container gardening.
